Quentin Tarantino's new film Inglourious Basterds to be featured at UFC 100

Yahoo Movies is reporting here that Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds will be getting special treatment at the upcoming UFC 100.

The studio is partnering with mixed-martial-arts organization the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which will feature the movie at the UFC 100, a large-scale pay-per-view event set for Saturday in Las Vegas. "Basterds" will get an animated billboard and placement inside the fighting ring, a.k.a. the "octagon," and a trailer will be shown to about 11,000 fans in attendance at Mandalay Bay.

I wonder if they are going to talk about it during the event or show the trailer to the PPV audience, it would be a waste of advertising to not be on the live PPV and it wouldn't be the first time the UFC ~~wasted our time~~ enlightened us about an upcoming movie!! Even if we would rather see a fight over an interview with Brad Pitt, having him at your event is never a bad thing. Plus I'd get a big kick out of Dana getting Pitt into his Vlog because Brad Pitt is a funny dude.

Update: There is no mention in this article or anywhere else (I tried to google "Inglorious Basterds and UFC and nothing else came up) that anyone will be attending the event to plug the movie during the live telecast.

doesn’t specifically say Pitt will be at the show, though it would be pretty cool.
My guess is that Tarantino would be more likely to attend.. or no one at all.

I just hope it doesn’t interfere with my chance to see undercard fights if the main card fights go quick enough.

I was

just hoping that he would because you know Dana would need to have him on the Vlog just for the press!! And even if you don’t like the Vlogs you gotta think Brad Pitt might make it funny for once
