Media New details on how the UFC plans to use The Sphere

[Bobby Boulders]

I just wonder which of these fighters will decide its a good idea to drop some mescaline or acid or some shit. Once in a lifetime opportunity, imo

 

[GrantB13]

I don't think there's much that would distract a professional fighter in a meaningful way in the background.

 

[GrantB13]

The coolest thing that could happen is the system Blue Screening during the event. It would be hilarious.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

It seems to be emotionally affecting the posters. They're whining often.

The magic of The Sphere® will change all that the night of.

 

[Dimbis]

OP you bored?

Yes sir. I think there will be plenty of excuses though.

Good thing I only care about the fights.

....okay but everything he brought up directly impacts the viewing of the fights.... Unless you don't care about actually watching the fights and it's just more important to you that they occur.

I'm sure my viewing experience of the actual fights themselves will be exactly the same as every other PPV even if they have things going on between them.

 

[RockyLockridge]

People watch the event to watch the actual fights, and usually not all the razzmatazz around it. The UFC knows this and will make sure the actual fights will be visible just fine, or they'll risk being seen as bush league.

...actually, wait. They're pretty bush league to begin with especially since the dawn of the WWE era so I'm not sure they give a fuck.

But the UFC is promoting the razzmatazz around it more than the fights. You say

Remember UFC 200's yellow octagon? Many people hated it visually obviously not to the point where it effected the outcome of the fight but how bad it looked was a major talking point on that card.

Yeah if the UFC doesn't over do it. but I don't know if they will or they won't.

The biggest issue with the Sphere is having a UFC card headlined by two manlets (one with colored hair) on Mexican Independence Day weekend in Vegas on the same night as a Canelo in the same city. The Boxing undercard is also pretty stacked.

Lol O'Malley is taller than Canelo. Fail.

Im looking forward to what they do with the inside massive screen. Assuming it'll be like a giant jumbo tron. It doesn't really go all the way around. Its kinda like a giant movie theater screen that wraps above. If all they have is the fight on the display taking up the whole screen it could be interesting . A ko replay that's the size of a massive building sounds cool

Over do what? If you guys want to be apprehensive go for it. I'm interested in the fights. That's it. I don't really care about the mat color. The UFC always has promo packages, talking heads and ads during PPVs. I have preferences, but the fights are the focus for me.

It’s because we’re flat earthers. When we look to the sky, we want to see starlink, not WMMA

 

[Poirierfan]

It's gonna be awkward af, all the seats are on one side with a big giant screen right in back of the cage.

With all this talk about the visuals for the sphere, I kept thinking of these problems and I’m wondering how the UFC plans to manage it.

1. Dana keeps preaching that the visuals will be insane and just off the wall great. Since the sphere itself basically surrounds the octagon, how are they planning on it not distracting the fighters? I can’t imagine focusing on your opponent, he turns you a certain way, and you’re looking at some huge Mexican flag that’s flying toward your face like an optical illusion.

2. How is it going to come across for the people at home? There’s no way that filming the giant screen and broadcasting it is going to look good. Sure, they’ll probably cut away and just show their “mini movies” that they just announced, but what about when the fight is on and the screen is in view?

Please bring up your own questions on what else can go wrong.

I hope so tbh

 

[RockyLockridge]

Over do what?

Good question, I don't know specifically but generally, Production changes for the sake of superfluous presentation?

They keep saying it's going to be a "one of a kind" MMA experience. So it'll either be a dramatic overstatement or drastic change. I think it will be weird having only one side of the audience and the octagon not being in the centre of the venue.

That night they'll reveal the PRIDE ring with cage instead of ropes and about two feet taller, that's the one of a kind aspect.

Ticket price?

2 grand for nosebleeds

Done a lot of LIVE World Wide sound, and lights, have you?

You should be embarrassed. Along with any lame fuck that liked your post.

Someday, you’ll grow up.

Would be pretty sick if they could change the background for each fight like a video game. Go full street fighter with it.
