Substance Cage Combat

Show open and matchup boards for Substance Cage Combat, a short-lived MMA promotion. The brief was minimal — cool, sexy, and metallic — which meant building a visual language largely from scratch for a client without a strong sense of their own brand. The solution was a bronze and black 3D animation treatment paired with heavily stylized MMA footage, giving the promotion a premium, cinematic feel that punched above what the organization itself could articulate. The matchup boards carried the same aesthetic, creating visual consistency across the broadcast package.
