Dana White, UFC Fighters to Appear as Holograms at The Sphere at UFC 306

Ahead of the blockbuster September show, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship dipped into the science fiction
bucket for a little extra flair.

According to a press release by the UFC and Proto Inc. on Thursday,
the promotion will be setting up a series of holograms. The
individuals, including UFC chief Dana White, will appear on
life-size screens that can interact with fans and the general
public. While the release stated “top names from the UFC roster
will appear” those names have not been disclosed. These machines
will be on display in the main lobby of the Sphere. White stated in
previous interviews that the cost of running
UFC 306 would far surpass any previous UFC show. This event
will go down on Sept. 14 in Las Vegas.

“We’re absolutely fired up to see Proto holograms at Sphere for the
first time ever at Noche UFC,” gushed Proto CEO David Nussbaum.
“UFC is known for delivering unforgettable experiences, and now,
with our cutting-edge hologram technology, fans will have a
mind-blowing chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with their
favorite fighters and even Dana White himself.”

Earlier this week, White hinted that there are going to be
additional surprises featured throughout the event. The
organization is creating six individual short films celebrating the
UFC and Mexico’s contribution to combat sports, and several “Easter
eggs” will featured throughout those films. According to White, the
first eagle-eyed fan that spots every one will receive a $25,000
reward.
