News UFC adding state of the art LED displays around octagon starting at UFC 272

[GordonMMARamsey]

More fighter entrances like this imo

And then Randy finished him in the 3rd.

This is more for advertisers than it is fans. Having LED screens that can change allows them more space to charge for ads

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Literally just more space to sell advertising.

It's actually a pretty cool production element. Cooler than I expected.

I expect they'll use it to shill rot guy liquor and terrible movies 90% of the time.

"Any fans pissed about us not raising fighter pay after we were gracious enough to put a few LED screens around for advertising purposes is a fucking idiot" Dana probably.

They have money for this but not for better gloves.

They don't spend money on gloves. They make money.. so ..

 

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

More fighter entrances like this imo

Ice, Ice Baby? Seriously? I just lost all respect for Chuck and for you too.

UFC really late to get into this. This LED pannels were already in use for ages in other sports and now they are changing to digital overlay technology, where he can show different messages to differente countries at the same time.

Easy cash grab that they are letting escape.

only the best for the ufc's biggest star, colby

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Holograms of fighters are next.. or dead celebrities let's get pac vs biggie baby

 

[Zanmato]

Octagon has been upgraded to ensure the people in the cheap seats can see the in-ring advertising as well

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

More ads to be slapped on the octagon

 

[XNYHCX]

What is that children's light up game where you have to follow the sequence?

[Only Here for Attachments]

Is this for the judges so they can actually see what they’re judging?

[Johnnny]

They should electrify the exterior of the cage to discourage fighters from grabbing it.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

PPV´s are now $129,99

I have a feeling this post will age well in a few years, maybe sooner.

 

[Scheme]

Imagine they slapped ads on it...

Don't have to imagine as they literally did in this video for the new game Elden Ring

 

[Arrrrgh]

They spent money on this instead of paying the fighters???

They could just put those graphics on digitally during the broadcast like the nfl does instead of buying a bunch of tvs. OOF.
