What happened to Ben Henderson's hair?

This might just be the coolest poster yet.

Realistically I see this being their next fight.
I would agree, but it's not like the UFC has had a solid track record of quality promotional material up to this point. Some of it looks like stuff a high school visual communications student came up with.

But he's overcome the adversity of a motorcycle accident!
(when is the statute of limitations up for Goldberg talking about that btw?)
Seriously, this is a step in the right direction.

Lol most are embarrassingly bad.

Touche, but even without the script it looks pretty damn cool.

Looks like a poster for an action movie which is cool in my book.
Or the bar was set really really low.
Any intro after the Gladiator intro will be the coolest intro ever as well.

Can you SEEEEEEE the drama in that poster?

UFC needs to hire the guys that do Korean film posters.

Anything is a step above this:
I'll gladly take the photoshop 101 filters.
As a marketer, I find nearly everything about this stupid. I'm guessing the head of their marketing is an idiot (either that or Dana needs to stop microing everything.)
Then again it's par for the course as far as MMA/fighting events are considered. These aren't really posters, just glorified pamphlets. Just cram as much shit as possible with the sole emphasis on the headlining act, name of the event, and sponsors. You look at lesser MMA posters and this is fucking lightyears ahead.
My biggest gripes with this poster:
Important text in red... why does it suddenly switch to first names for the two smaller fights?
What's the deal with the "One Belt" needlessly added on? I don't think you need the contrast with the "Two of the best..."
Shitty alignment in relation to the smaller fights and PPV info at the bottom.
Speaking of which, two column text like that is a readability nightmare.
Hire me Dana. I'll fix this shit up quickly.

I thought this was one of the best posters, although I don't understand how they missed Brittney after getting everything else right.
I've set the bar for their promotional materials very low, actually.
And parrotbeak, you and I must think very alike because I was going to mention how any poster would get a pass if it had something like the following on the top of every print:
Arianny works, though. It's just Britney works better.

Holy fuck this is the coolest shit ever. Would have been better if the hero won the battle in the end though.

Heroes don't drink piss. Victims do. Ask R Kelly.

Bear Grylls disagrees.
I just noticed she's doing the dat ass face in combination with the Mr. Burns excellent hands.

Loses points for Arianny instead of Brittney and Uncle Dana hovering over Machida's crotch.

Ya, should have been Rogan over Machida's crotch.

no because brock will take down overeem w/in the first 30 seconds of the fight, and not be a retard like Sugar Cain.
They be stealing PRIDEFC artists! So awesome.

Don't think having your unconscious body draped over your opponent qualifies as a take down.
Overeem is a huge step down in competition for brock, he's faced guys like HW GOAT Sugar Cain Velasquez, top 5 HW Shane Carwin, UFC Legends Frank Mir and Randy Couture. Overeem is facing the biggest test of his career, he's going from fighting the 3 Gs (goodridge, grim rodgers, and gladiator thompson) to fighting fucking brockzilla. after he gets taken down and pounded out he's going to run back to Golden Glory and back to the freak and can stomping tour in Japan.

The fight is not going past the 1st round.
Am I being trolled? I can't tell in MMA-GAF anymore.
if you think recent wins over the likes of the 3Gs, Todd Duffee, Kaz Fujita, and UFC washout Fabricio Werdum are good wins then you are too stupid to troll.

This entire thread is a waste, ignore everything but the news posts. If news wasn't posted in here it would serve no purpose whatsoever.
The purpose is light hearted conversation between gaf mma fans (all 8 of us). Might I suggest MMA Mania if all you care about are news drops?

Brock is getting the uberknee in the first round.
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy
it's 4th of July in my asshole
Potential to be an awesome fight. Wonder if Big C will roll with him or keep it standing. Will be good to see how Werdum's stand up is progressing as well.

Not really. Brock's chest, traps, and particular back are all bigger than Reem's. Reem's arms are about the same size, though.
