The UFC is upping the ante for broadcasts with a new Major League Baseball style statistics system that the promotion hopes to roll out in six months time.
At the Cannes Lions marketing event over the weekend, UFC president Dana White and UFC co-owner Ari Emanuel from WME-IMG laid out a plan to unveil the new stats system in the very near future.
According to the two UFC officials via the New York Post, they will be placing sensors in gloves, shorts and even inside arenas to create real time statistics that will be used during the television broadcasts.
