Here's something I'd like to see the UFC implement for their high profile cards: Cinematic Replays.

Turki Alashikh did this for the Dubois/Hrgovic fight.

And it's like watching the fight again with a completely different set of eyes. It really highlights how fantastically BRUTAL heavyweight fights truly are. You can FEEL the thud of each punch hitting flesh.

It's one of the most innovative things I've seen a promoter do in combat sports and I'd love to see more of it. It would make the UFC Pass subscription a LOT tastier if I could rewatch Lawler/MacDonald II in this format.

You've really gotta see it for yourself.

Edit: Who am I kidding? Dana doesn't have the vision for something this badass.

Not sure I am a fan of the fights looking like a video game, but some may like this and why not???

Here's what I like about it:

The audio.

We miss this in live broadcasts because the audio just isn't set up to deliver the *sound* of combat. It's one of those things that really catches you off guard if you get seats close to the ring for a fight.

You never forget how vicious that sound is.

Calm down kid

We need A.I. Everything… Judges, Refs, Commentary, Ring Girls
Also vibrating seats and more giant holograms

Whoa, that's pretty cool.

Unfortunately, I don't think Dana or the UFC can be fucked putting in this sort of effort haha.

That's nice honestly.
The more "extra features" the better for me, if they were to e.g. Have ref cam, 360videos, no commentary footage, crowd reaction footage, corner audio etc. I'm all for it.
Hell, put all that extra stuff even on fight pass and I might have a reason to purchase it.

Most extra stuff just gets in the way of the fight, blocking the view... but having a remote control to switch angles or replay may be fun. Maybe add facts if we click on fighter get his stats or for you gay boys can get the fashion info.

Yeah I don't dig that at all lol. I want to watch every moment of the fight and how they're throwing and reacting, and it sounds like they're just adding in punch sounds after the fact, which is lame.
