If you didn’t watch it, or didn’t hear about it, you’re not alone. The press release came out at 4:15 p.m. Eastern time, just 45 minutes before the show started. The hook for the show? Video game-style graphics for each fighter. Or, as the press release put it: “Utilizing sensors and a custom built data tracking dashboard, a variety of objective data points such as punch force, and punch combinations thrown and landed, will be captured in real time. Through the use of sports science, the data will be conveyed in an on-screen power bar, similar to those displayed in video games, summarizing a fighter’s total absorbed damage. By collecting, analyzing and integrating this data into future broadcasts, Bally’s and KO Entertainment will offer unparalleled objectivity that will create a more rewarding and safer experience for fighters, while also increasing transparency.”
