Noche UFC, also known as UFC
306, received a pair of Sports Emmy awards on Tuesday night —
one for Outstanding Graphic Design — Specialty and another for
Outstanding Studio or Production Design/Art Direction. The 46th
annual event was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose
Hall in New York.

The Outstanding Graphic Design honor was for the the film, „For Mexico, For All Time,” which ran in six,
90-second segments throughout the pay-per-view portion of the card.
UFC chief content officer Craig Bolsari was on hand to accept the
awards for the Las Vegas-based organization.

Prior to Noche UFC, Dana White revealed that the promotion spent
$20 million on the event. The venue, with its giant LED screen
depicting different worlds during bouts, was as much the star of
the show as the fighters. White also said that the UFC’s venture at
The Sphere would be a one-off event.

Noche UFC took place on Sept. 14 and saw Merab
Dvalishvili capture the bantamweight crown with a unanimous
decision triumph over Sean O’Malley in the evening’s main event. In
the co-headliner, Valentina
Shevchenko regain the flyweight strap with a five-round verdict
against Alexa
Grasso.
