By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

The UFC's third event on Versus this Thursday will be their first ever event in 3D, according to a report from SportsBusinessDaily.com.

The broadcast, which will be sponsored by Comcast Xfinity, will feature a whole other production setup aside from the UFC's regular broadcast on the network.

While the normal broadcast will air to most viewers as usual, the 3D broadcast will feature Todd Harris and Kenny Florian on commentary.

The Diego Sanchez vs. Martin Kampmann headlined event takes place from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., next Thursday, March 3. Comcast, Cox, Verizon, Massillon Cable, Blue Ridge and Armstrong have all signed on to air the 3D broadcast.

Penick's Analysis: This will be interesting for those that have access to this broadcast, and it's another step in the progression of the UFC. It may not be anything more than a novelty right now, but it will still be a cool new way to experience a UFC broadcast.

UPDATED 2/28: The UFC has now officially announced the 3D broadcast, promising new camera angles never before seen on a UFC broadcast. UFC President Dana White also commented on putting these fights on in 3D.

"We're really excited to start broadcasting UFC events in 3D," White said. "UFC is ahead of the curve when it comes to introducing new technology and we think UFC fans will really enjoy seeing fights in 3D."
