How will the sphere impact fights?

[Goat Poster]

Has the UFC asked anyone to spar there while they run the visual tests? How much of a factor do you guys think the screens will play on the fighters performance? Do the fighters get the right to go in there and practice before the fight?


Will this make it extra hard to measure distance and strike? Does it disorient you if you are on the bottom getting ground and pounded and you see all this stuff moove around? If it does end up impacting fighters seems like grapplers would get a clear advtantage. If you're on top you pretty much are not impacted while your opponent may look up and just see crazy visuals.
I don't know what kind of visuals they will have, I think fighters would feel fine hitting pads if they do some kind of test sparring in there but after you eat some real concussive blows I can imagine it could be harder to tune out all the screens and you may get nauseous easier.

Also seems like if it does really impact the fighters, it would be easier to strike with your back to the screens and face the crowd. Will we see someone being deliberate in trying to remain with their back close to that side of the octagon?

While 306 is happening, UFC 1 should be playing on the Sphere

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Octagon isnt sphere

who cares. i watch the fighters. not the ceiling or whatever the sphere is.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

lol. I don’t think it will be a factor besides a huge crowd. No need to overthink it

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

it will give them all permanent vertigo

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Eddie Bravo said the sphere is actually flat, so don't worry about it.

Well the thread is about if the fighters are affected, not you, dumbass lol

I hope Smally kos merab and he puts on his red jacket over his unconscious body like undertaker

 

[Ormendahl]

I hope it does affect the fighters. I hope after the first fight they realize the screen can't be on during the fights. I hope the entire event is ruined. I hope this solely because it will piss Dana off so bad.

I spoke to Bryce Mitchell

Like the moon landing this event will be faked, they are fighting at the Apex with the sphere CGI'd in

You know what's funny, I listened to Bryce Mitchell's rap songs and they are really good. And it got me baffled how someone who can write lyrics that well and rap that well can also be so fucking stupid when it comes to things like flat earth and the bible. To this day it confuses me.

Right? One WOULD THINK that if you can write smart, tiered lyrics that, you know, you wouldn't sound, speak, and think like a retard. I honestly think that a lot of Bryce's "redneckery" is a show/act. Who knows though.

I do think a significant portion of flat earthers are just trolling (at the expense of the ones not trolling lol), so it's definitely possible Bryce is just acting. If he is I'll become a fan.

 

[Striker Fox]

Every loser will be sure to blame the sphere

 

[StonedLemur]

I 5hink they should play porn on the Sphere while the fights are happening lol.

I've always been like 70% convinced that Bryce is just trolling people with his crazy shit but I can't be sure of it.

I'd hope they accounted for the sphere during the fights...I doubt they'll display the inner workings of a heart and pump in a heart beat like One does with their live broadcast. It's probably for in between the fights they'll have some cool stuff going on. More for the people in attendance I'd think and shouldn't impact the fighters.

I think he's implying they are going to have fire works and shit flying around while they are fighting which I don't see happening.
