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

[Sweater of AV]

The viewing experience has never been more enhanced.

Can't be more distracting than the Twitter posts during fights.

You don't care what The Rock or David Spade thinks of the fight?

 

[Deceasedxo]

So like a shit version of the wwe ring aprons. OK.

 

[avenue94]

Imagine they slapped ads on it...

Honestly surprised it took them this long to figure out how to display more ads on the Octogon lol

 

[Herwald]

They look cool! But then...

Imagine they slapped ads on it...

*meep*

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Another ads spot, nothing more...

 

[sonhow]

LED!

 

[Mammothman]

Thats look so cool!

 

[JKS]

Pretty cool!

 

[Volador]

"revolutionize"

They added some screens to the edges, that probably will have no relevance for 95% of the broadcast, lol.

Anything to avoid paying their fighters more I guess?
"Look at our new shiny sTaTe oF tHe ArT LED DiSpLaYs!!!!! Soz, can't raise fighter pay now, obviously!"

5 seconds in.

They've got one minimum wage intern with his finger on the "shockwave" effect button to hit any time a large hit lands or whenever Rogan yells, "HE'S HURT!"


Need to go full AR.

Imagine Michelle Waterson comin out like

XIA LIII

Nah man I need those so I know who won the round

 

[Mr Dilkington]

Bit of a waste to have it just show Proper 12 or Howler Head ads all night tbh.

Ideally they'd have it react to impact shots, count up combos of punches, have it look like blood splattering out of the ring, flash "Finish him" after a knockdown, etc

 

[Mr Dilkington]

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

Simon Says?

 

[HaulParris]

Can't be more distracting than the Twitter posts during fights.

I agree. It would be one thing if it's someone like Trevor Whittman actually offering his expertise to explain the intricacies of the action, but instead we get "These Guys Are Banging!" And "What A Fight" tweets from a bunch of randoms.

 

[Mr. Fixit]

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

take my money



(All $2 of it)

 

[Ladder Master]

Mo ads.... and mo ads.... and mo motherfucking ads!

Imagine they slapped ads on it...

You know that the number one reason why it’s being done. Maybe Khabib will be happy if it displays what round it is.
