In the weeks leading up to UFC 129, Dana White and Tom Wright, the UFC’s Director of Canadian Operations, have repeatedly assured fans and media that the promotion’s usual live event experience will not be compromised at its biggest show ever.
However, until April 30 rolls around, how can we be so sure?
Well, MMA Fighting has learned that the UFC will place more than twice the amount of video screens present at a regular UFC event inside Rogers Centre. The UFC typically adds six to eight of their own video screens, depending on the size of the arena, in addition to the main scoreboard, inside the venue. That means there could be up to 20 video screens positioned around Rogers Centre on fight night.
In addition, and most interestingly, the UFC will be complimenting the stadium’s 108-foot video board with its own 100-foot screen on the south side of the stadium.
