Held at the Concert Arena of Ferrari World in the area adjoining Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the event was organised by Think Flash Entertainment.
Creative Technology Dubai, continuing its ongoing relationship with Think Flash and Lee Charteris, operations director at Flash, was contracted to supply the video requirements for this event.
Creative Technology Dubai, supplied four 6.10m x 4.57m Lighthouse R7 LED screens and an equal number of 6m x 3.37m rear projection screens with Christie HD18 projectors to enhance the spectators' experience. All signals were transmitted by the broadcaster and Creative Technology then distributed it via fibre, SD/SDI to the four LED screens and HD/SDI to all the Christie HD projectors.
Three matches were fought at the Concert Arena with the main event seeing middleweight champion Anderson 'The Spider' Silva fighting against Ju jitsu master Demian Maia for the middleweight belt. The UFC was televised live to an estimated half million homes around the world.
