5:34: Joe Rogan is, of course, in attendance in Washington, D.C. He’s in a suit (presumably out of respect). His tie is very short.

5:54: Lopes vs. Garcia starts, and I finally get to see the Cosm UFC concept fully fleshed out. If anything the shakiness of the cameras mounted on the octagon helps with immersion, creating the illusion that you can feel the heft of the fighters’ as they dance around one another. It quickly ends with a decisive knockout by Lopes. In the final moments of the fight, I notice my eyes have been gravitating toward the TV-style displays against my will. Maybe my instinct is to push back against “immersion” in this experience, but I’m not sure that’s the issue.

The good news? It sounds like not many people were into it.

Is there something of a TL:DR that springs out of all that, or is it moreso about the pure stream of observation?

It's more about the technology that I found interesting, so the pure stream of observation.
