Brian Ortega has been given a sneak preview of what the UFC has in store for their much talked about UFC 306 event at The Sphere in las Vegas, and he says the visual spectacle they are putting together is so good that he fears it’ll distract him during his fight with Diego Lopes.
The UFC brass have already spent over $17 million in what Dana White has said will be a one-off event at the unique arena, which is famed for it’s wraparound LED screen and 4d effects.
“I went to Vegas, and we did some filming for it.” Ortega said on the Morning Kombat show. “They put some VR goggles on us, and we were able to see what the arena would look like on the inside. And bro, it’s crazy. I can’t say too much because I’m not allowed to.
“But, yeah, it’s going to be something where I for sure have to stay locked in and tuned. I have to stay focused, because if you start paying attention at what’s going to go on when the fight happens, I’ll for sure be distracted.
“And I probably will, but probably it’s going to be for a good cause anyways. Once I get punched in the face, I’m going to come back to reality anyways.”
