Hollywood stars, sports legends and a billionaire or two got an incredible view of UFC 303, but none of them were at the T-Mobile Arena… instead, Vince Vaughn and a gang of other celebrities partied and watched fights at a super cool new immersive theater in Los Angeles
Cosmo Los Angeles — a 65,000-square-foot theater with a massive curved LED screen in Hollywood Park (next to the Rams’ SoFi Stadium) — is designed to transport fans, giving them the best seat in the house at the biggest sporting events and concerts.

Think of being in the octagon as Alex Pereira punches and kicks (except you never get hit 😰). That’s just how it is… and Cosm says it has already closed deals with partners like the NBA, NHL, Premiere League, USA Soccer and UFC, among many others.
So, big screen, big partners… and big stars present.
In addition to the beloved “Swingers” actor, celebrities such as Ronnie Lott, Julio Randle, Robert Horry, James Worthy, JB Smoove, Kel Mitchell, Stan Kroenkeand others attended the premiere event.

As for the action inside the cage… it was a wild night!
And Ige intervened two hours in advance (!!!) to fight Diego Lopes … after Brian Ortega was forced to withdraw after waking up sick on Saturday morning. After his fever wouldn’t break, it was clear that T City couldn’t take the Octagon. Lopes won by unanimous decision — two rounds to one — but Ige proved to be an absolute beast (and so did Lopes).
In the main event – originally scheduled to be Conor McGregor–Michael Chandler before the Notorious dropped out with an injury last month — Poatan fell Jiri Prochazka with a devastating and perfectly placed head kick early in the second round, before finishing the Czech fighter with a vicious ground and pound.
In short, it’s a pretty cool place to watch sporting events. Not in Los Angeles? Don’t worry… Cosm says he plans to open theaters across the country, starting in Dallas.
