Quote :: The growing trend of 3D television is finally ready to marry itself to the growing sport of mixed martial arts.

The UFC's upcoming UFC on Versus 3 event will be broadcast in 3D on select cable outlets, sport trade journal Sports Business Daily reported on Friday. It will mark the first time a UFC event is telecast in the format, though the UFC has privately tried out the technology in the past.

According to the report, the 3D telecast will have a different production crew from Versus' regular HD setup. Versus is also planning to occasionally utilize a split-screen presentation that will air live arena content like locker room views alongside commercials.

The report notes that among cable distributors, Comcast, Cox, Verizon, Massillon Cable, Blue Ridge and Armstrong have signed on.

UFC on Versus 3 takes place on March 3 from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky and features a main event pitting Diego Sanchez against Martin Kampmann, alongside a co-main event pairing of former All-American collegiate wrestlers CB Dollaway and Mark Munoz.

The 3D broadcast features a separate production crew and equipment. Additionally, veteran play-by-play voice Todd Harris and UFC featherweight Kenny Florian call the action for the 3D broadcast.

I love it. Its hard to describe how awesome the quality is when HDTV already looks so damn good.

The NC was in 3d. I've seen a few bball games. Mostly nature stuff and a few concerts in 3D. I have Sherk 1-4 in 3d as well. More channels & movies are coming though.

Around $1300 for the TV (50" Samsung Plasma). Its a part of Direct TV's HD package so no extra there. I already owned a PS3 so just had to download the newest update.
