Submission statement: The backdrop behind the UFC arena matches the Emergency Broadcast System pattern exactly. Are they predicatively programming us for a emergency event in the near future that will require the use of the Emergency Broadcast system. It is definitely a possibility in the near future with the way the war is going.
The Normie plausible deniability explanation is they always put this up before a UFC show to test the cameras and lighting. This explanation doesn't make any sense because it is so huge it is going to diffuse the light and in effect change the colors of everything around it. If you stand inside a pink tent then everything inside the tent ends up looking pick due to the light diffusion. Using this large of a backdrop pattern would make it harder to tune the cameras because the backdrop itself will diffuse colors everywhere and make everything seem off color.

You may be on to something with this.
Does the emergency broadcast system apply to streaming services? Cuz idk one person who watches cable tv anymore.
Devil’s advocate here. Might just be color/screen placement display test. It’s necessary with huge displays like this since they’re usually made up of multiple panels and not one large screen
So those bars aren’t the “emergency broadcast system pattern”, those are called “broadcast test patterns” or more commonly “[test cards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_card)”. The vertical bars is the [SMPTE test card](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_color_bars) which is commonly used for the NTSC broadcasts we use here in North America.
It’s just a standard “we need some sort of video signal here” type thing. Well, it’s really for testing and calibration but that’s a little outside the scope of this comment haha
