Hahahaha … you think this is the real Dana? It is!

UFC CEO Dana White will be holding a meet-and-greet with MMA fans.

Well, sorta.

The Las Vegas fight boss won’t be standing in the lobby of The Sphere with the rest of the rank-and-file on Sept. 14; however, a special Proto machine will be on hand for the UFC 306 pay-per-view (PPV) event, beaming a life-size hologram of White to satisfy all your social media needs.

As real as it gets!

“We’re absolutely fired up to see Proto holograms at Sphere for the first time ever at Noche UFC!” said David Nussbaum, Founder and CEO of Proto Inc. “UFC is known for delivering unforgettable experiences, and now, with our cutting-edge hologram technology, fans will have a mind-blowing chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with their favorite fighters and even Dana White himself. This is going to be an epic night that sets a new standard for live sports entertainment, and we’re honored to be a part of it!”

Why pay a fighter to appear in person when you can just beam a hologram instead!

The Proto bros are promising “top names” from the UFC roster but did not mention anyone specifically. Since the technology is being displayed onsite for UFC 306, it would stand to reason that UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley, will be among the athletes featured in holographic form.

O’Malley defends his 135-pound title against Merab Dvalishvili in the UFC 306 main event.
