A RARE Piece of MMA History
An exclusive collection of highly rare, internalDigital Betacam (DigiBeta)production tapes from the 2003 era of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. These are not mass-produced retail releases or consumer tapes. They are original, in-house professional broadcast-quality master tapes.
⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE⚠️
Digital Betacam (DigiBeta)is a professional broadcast tape format. These tapes will NOT play in a standard home VCR. They require a commercial Betacam VCR/deck to view.
This archive was recently unearthed during a commercial storage unit liquidation. The collection was found safely preserved in sealed totes. The archive also contained the business card of the prominent television producer and creative director who received this shipment directly from Zuffa's Las Vegas headquarters. (Please review the photo gallery for visual proof of the original storage totes and the business card to verify authenticity). There was also a lot of paperwork and documents in the locker that confirms ownership. If you have doubts, message me. I have more confirming evidence of tape authenticity.
KEEP AN EYE ON THIS STORE
A massive archive of combat sports production tapes will be listed over the next few months.
I will combine shipping on multiple orders.
