I'm watching the keynote for AWS re:Invent (Amazon's cloud conference). They just held an on stage exhibition between Edson Barboza and Marc Decasey to demonstrate what they are providing for IoT services and announced their partnership with WME-IMG pointing out that they are mounting sensors in the UFC gloves to measure impact.
Get ready for UFC commentating to become MUCH more analytical.
They are also putting sensors (heart rate monitors?) on corner men and family members that are cageside to measure their stress levels as they watch the fight.
Yesterday's keynote included a presentation from an NFL exec that said they are doing the same by mounting sensors in shoulder pads which is how they are creating replays that highlight the movements of specific players and is being used by post game analysts.
