That's a damn good point... & I'd say that they're not. It's oop to teh fighters to recognize teh distraction & accommodate in there own way.

I'd expect some next level creativity for this. Including up-close projections of the action behind them.

They've been practicing the production FFS.

We don't need to imagine it though... we'll see it soon enough. I'm hoping for teh best.
 
"One & Dun" has now turned into "Maybe One & Dun"
NOICE!!!

Can't wait!!!
 
I wonder about optical health conditions like those who are triggered by bright flashing lights. Some people have seizures over that shit

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.

It's all a big lie, the Sphere is flat, like the Earth. Look it up...

1. Dana doesn't give a fuck about that, he's just excited to see a huge Modelo beer bottle flying through the Sphere whilst Jon Anik talks about it.

2. It won't, you'll just see flashing lights in the edges of your screen causing people to have epileptic fits.

ufc probably has fine print on the tickets for stuff like that.

Good god this is seriously not a big deal. "Oh my god it's a big screen this is HISTORIC!!!!". It's a shit card for such an expensive event. This will be insignificant or more likely irrelevant in the history of anything.

No sooner is O'Malley-Merab in the books than we all start guessing who they fight next.

There is no longevity anymore, it's just 'next'!

Not necessarily a criticism, just a fact.
 
We had a planetarium in school. Our astronomy teacher had a silly voice and a speech impediment. He was like the Impressive Clergyman from The Princess Bride. He couldn't pronounce R's very well. He used to say Aww-iga and O-waiian instead of Auriga and Orion. We used to sit in there when it was pitch dark and whip shit around the room with no cares who it hit. Buncha juvenile delinquents we were. Always be prepared for shrapnel in the planetarium.

Anyway there's a 90% chance this is cooler than an Apex show, so all is good.
 
Whatever they do should enhance the fights; not overshadow them.
 
I still say the screen should be Dana's head so it looks like old manga page of puppet master Dana. I'm to lazy to find the post it's in or web search it right now.

One of my favourite things in Edmonton is the Space and Sciences Centre. They can project the known universe on the ceiling. You just sit back and look at the stars.

I’ve ALWAYS loved the sky at night. Satellite watching, or if a comet is visible. I could lay on my back summer, or winter, and just look at the sky for hours. Weed helps, though (lol).

Me too brother, I love it, its so relaxing and chilled and also fascinating at the same time. I remember when I was young and my dad used to take me out by the lake and he had a telescope, wasn't an expensive telescope, just an ordinary one but could still see so much more.

It seems so close like you could just throw a ball and hit it lol, but its thousands of light years away, its crazy and amazing how big the universe is. So many star systems

And THAT is why I believe there is alien civilizations out there. It’s so HUGE there has to be advanced life forms out there somewhere.

I too had access to not expensive telescopes. I used to love when the moon was really clear, or big like a harvest moon. Or red moon.

Like you said, it’s so relaxing.
