RARE UFC 40 Zuffa Betacam SP 7 Tape Archive: Ken Shamrock & Tito Ortiz Features For Sale

An exclusive collection of highly rare, internal Betacam SP production tapes from the 2003 era of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. These are not mass-produced retail releases or consumer tapes. They are original, in-house professional broadcast-quality production tapes.

⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE⚠️
Betacam SP is a professional broadcast tape format. These tapes will NOT play in a standard home VCR. They require a commercial Betacam VCR/deck to view.

This archive was recently unearthed during a commercial storage unit liquidation. The collection was found safely preserved in sealed totes. The archive also contained the business card of the prominent producer and creative director who received this shipment directly from Zuffa\'s Las Vegas headquarters. (Please review the photo gallery for visual proof of the original storage totes and the business card to verify authenticity). There was also a lot of paperwork and documents in the locker that confirms ownership. If you have doubts, message me. I have more confirming evidence of tape authenticity. I believe these tapes were provided to the studio because they worked on several documentaries and commercial projects for the UFC in the early 2000s. In some cases the tapes likely contain officially released content. Other tapes may contain dubs of official content that may not have been publicly released. In this sale you are buying the tapes not the content contained on them.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS STORE
A massive archive of combat sports production tapes will be listed over the next few months.

I will combine shipping on multiple orders. Reach out for bulk pricing. Discounts available.

Please note: The descriptions below dictate exactly what is printed on the physical labels of the tapes. The content of the tapes has not been validated. You are buying the tapes not the content.

This is a 7-tape bundled lot featuring professional Betacam SP production tapes labeled as fighter features for the legendary main event of UFC 40: Vendetta.
