RITUALS & TRADITIONS – Chapter Three | UFC 306

Directed by López Estrada and produced by Valerie Bush for Estrada’s production company, Antigravity Academy, the film "For Mexico, For All Time” unfolded in six chapters, each showcasing a different era of Mexican history.

Directed by Paul Nicholls, Studio: Factory Fifteen
Through the rituals and traditions of Mexico's earliest civilizations, the essence of the ancestors lives
on, immortalized in customs that endure across generations. Paul Nichols of Factory Fifteen describes
the creative process: “This project blended the fascinating research of Mexican rituals and traditions
with the creation of an epic fantasy world for UFC306 inside The Sphere. It perfectly showcases our
detail-oriented maximalist style—beginning with a single flame drawing back through a ritualistic cave
and culminating in a striking symbol of Mexico: a colossal skull. We aimed to leave the audience utterly
awestruck.”

Whoever make this animation deserves a salary raise, a week off and a promotion. Well done

[edgarvl]

When Dana White said he would write a love letter to the Mexican culture, he really meant it. What an epic celebration of one of the best cultures in the world. Viva Mexico!

[cesarmm]

Dana, this was epic. You over delivered brother. As someone who grew up in Mexico, it makes me proud and happy our culture is being shared in this beautiful manner. Thank you!

[eyeofthetiger]

No wonder Dana was so exited when he said. Your eyes are going to experience something like never before, and he was not kidding. TY

I don't know why I love this particular one so much. There's something about the part on 1:15 that's works so perfectly 🔥🔥 They also used real confetti at the venue so people actually felt all that falling on them. Just incredible. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

[mattpryokra]

I was literally feeling the electricity and shivers from this event…. This probably the most deepest love letter to not just the Mexican fighters who’ve proudly represent for their country and heritage but a deeper appreciation for the history of Mexico…

I’m not Mexican but their history is very inspiring and many fighters that represent are to me have the best fighters in combat sports… Nobody quite fights like a Mexican warrior 🇲🇽

[sayville_silver]

The Sphere is a virtual representation of what Joe Rogan's DMT session looks like.

[renesgarcia]

Yooo... UFC, can we get a BTS with the editors and creative directors behind these pieces. Incredible work.

[VoidBL]

Should add a VR option so you could use like 360° camera to look around.

[kanita]

A love letter to my beloved Mexico 🇲🇽 💚🤍❤️😭🇲🇽

That was worth it all. That could be an attraction at Disney World or Universal Studios.
