UFC

Fusing live sport with cinematic storytelling

For UFC 306 — the landmark event inside Las Vegas’ groundbreaking Sphere — the Ultimate Fighting Championship set out to celebrate Mexico’s deep roots in combat sports.

Concept

The six-part series For Mexico, For All Time, created in collaboration with Academy Award-nominated director Carlos López Estrada, told the story of the Mexican people, their heritage and their lasting contribution to the sport.

Collaborating with Director Saad Moosajee, we co-produced Chapter II: Early Civilizations, exploring the origins of Mexico’s indigenous people. Through myths of creation and destruction, the film captured the enduring spirit that would define a nation for centuries to come.

Production

Premiering across The Sphere’s 160,000-square-foot screen, the film fused live sport with cinematic storytelling on an unprecedented scale. We helped realise the vision through art direction, design, and VFX — blending myth and motion into an immersive experience that resonated far beyond fight night.

Beyond the screen

Early Civilizations was nominated for six Sports Emmy Awards and went on to win two: Outstanding Studio or Production Design / Art Direction and Outstanding Graphic Design. More importantly, it brought Mexico’s cultural legacy to life for millions of fans worldwide in an unforgettable intersection of sport, story and spectacle.
