I’ve done it over 10 times. There’s definitely a 6th nub pinkie on there. What hack do they use to make their posters?
totally
it’s like the cover to “Peace and Love” by the Pogues.

I don't think so
here, I’ve labelled it. 1 is in the wrong place to be the palm, and 5 has a fingernail.
Also, being at work and having to use ms paint sux.

It has a nail!
There’s a very clear nail on number five there, and what appears to be a knuckle. Either something went disastrously wrong in the making of this photo, or Stephan Bonnar escaped his previous job in the circus freak show to join the UFC.
Stephan "The American Sideshow" Bonnar.
Seriously though, TGW is correct, #5 is his palm.

Bonnar - Pokrajac over Maia - Grove? Really?
I wonder if this is still Spike being stingy about Grove’s comments before. I know Bonnar had a pretty good fight against K-Sos last time, but Maia – Grove has got to be considered a bigger fight than Bonnar – Pokrajac (who is completely unknown basically).
Are they serious?!
Can someone explain to me how the two biggest faces on the poster (i.e. the main event) are of a guy who – while he was the losing half of a fight that arguably saved MMA – hasn’t amounted to anything in the UFC (AND is 1-3 in his last 4 fights), and the other guy is 1-2 in the UFC?
Whereas the “co-main-event” is a former title contender who’s only lost to the champ and the #1 contender (which is NOT Vitor Belfort) in the UFC, and Kendall Grove – while I’m admittedly not a fan – has at least got a positive record over his last 6 fights.
This is astonishingly bad salesmanship. No problem – take care of Stephan Bonnar. He saved your company. I get that. But that doesn’t mean he’s a main event draw. Even for a TUF Finale.
This is some kind of attempt to showcase Bonnar and build him up towards bigger fights. It’s nice to be one of Dana’s fav’s.

Bonnar is more marketable.
More casual’s know Bonnar more than Maia or Grove. And seriously it is just a poster.

Do they outlaw fun as well as well as dance where you are?
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

You’ll pass on a free card that is on an easily accessible channel at a reasonable time in the evening? Are you a moron or just not really a fan?

Bonnar is headlining? What the hell? Did we go back in time?

but i wont be happy about it

based on a not very marketable main event and a tv show that many people think has run its course…i wonder what the live gate for these events are….especially since ufc tickets are far from cheap, esp in vegas, even for a card like this. at what point will new, mainstream or hard core fans start to really pick and choose how they spend their money on mma events.
on a side note…best fight on this card so far is story/hendricks…that should be a barn burner.

Dana couldn't make up for UFC 112 like he said he would by putting a marquee matchup on here as the main event...
No way. Not too long ago we had Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida on one of these finales and look at this bullshit now. Only fight I give a shit about is Story vs. Hendricks.
Maia vs. Grove is a main event quality type of fight
But Grove messed up bad so Maia has to pay for it too.
Bandwagon leader for Michael Robinson as Seattle Seahawks starting QB.
I've never even watched Pokrajac fight
On that note I almost guarantee Grove is out if he loses to Maia.
Bandwagon leader for Michael Robinson as Seattle Seahawks starting QB.
I mean, why else would Grove not be headlining against a middleweight title challenger?
