Before you begin

Discretion · Awareness · Context

Watch the training video above in full before going to your venue. This assignment must be completed discreetly. Employees, staff, and owners must not know that any observation or recording is taking place.

UFC Broadcast Update — Effective January 1, 2026: UFC events have moved from ESPN to Paramount+. Commercial ads may appear between matches — capturing them incidentally is fine. However, submissions showing only advertisements will be rejected and will not be paid. You must show the actual event: ring walk-ins, the active fight, or between-round coverage.
§ 4

Evidence requirements

5 mandatory steps · all required for payment

All five steps are required. Missing, rushed, or unusable materials will result in rejection and non-payment. There are no exceptions.

1
Step

Exterior Photos Required

Take 2 clear exterior photos of the venue that show the signage or other features confirming the location. Both photos are required — one is not enough.

2
Step

Entry Video Required

Start recording outside the venue and keep recording continuously as you walk in. This entry footage must be part of your total video — it proves you were present and confirms the location.

3
Step

Interior Overview Video Required

Once inside, do a slow, steady panoramic sweep of the interior. Show televisions, seating areas, bar areas, and patrons where visible. This establishes the venue layout and patron count.

4
Step

Sporting Event Evidence Video Required

Record at least 1 full uninterrupted minute of the sporting event on a venue TV. Footage must clearly show the event itself — ring walk-ins, the fight in progress, or between-round coverage. Zoom in on the TV screen so the event is clearly identifiable. Do not submit advertisement-only footage.

5
Step

Site Inspection Sheet Required

Complete the Site Inspection Sheet after your visit. Upload it as a PDF file alongside your photos and videos when submitting. The form must be fully completed — blank or partial sheets will not be accepted.

§ 5

If someone asks what you are filming

Pre-approved cover responses · stay calm

I'm really enjoying this spot. My friend doesn't go out much, so I'm sending them a clip to get them to come next time.

I like writing Yelp reviews and thought a short video would help capture the atmosphere for my post.

My buddy is a huge fan of this team and couldn't make it tonight, so I'm sending him a quick update on the game.

If you are asked to stop recording or questioned further — do not argue. Wrap up naturally and exit the venue. Your safety comes first. Contact us immediately if any issue arises: (800) 321-2377.

Submission standards & payment requirements

Payment will NOT be issued in any of these situations:
