It looks like a B-rated movie poster/DVD cover.

Looks more like the kit the designer should have been given to start
before he opened, saved as, and dropped the mouse like Dave Chappelle walking offstage

I've got an idea!
Let’s make everyone squint when they want to read who is headlining the card.
I love the picture.

If anyone gets the presale code, please post it here. I subscribed to the email thing, but haven’t seen a code yet. Thanks!
This Summer
One’s a grizzled old veteran, the others a hotshot rookie, but if these two lifeguards want to make their summer gig work their going to have to learn to put aside their differences in:
“Public Service”-Rated NC-17
"That's right I'm into hardcore crack, that's why my teeth are so bad"
What a bad poster.

Isn't Youtube fun?
can they put the names at the top in a smaller font?

I think its gonna be a good fight, honestly
Look, Shields is on a 15-fight win streak. No matter where you fight, it can’t be ignored.
it’s weird to see a strikeforce poster that has both fighters from one of the bouts. The last two haven’t had any bouts competitive enough to warrant putting both fighters on there:
Even better when we remember that Cung LOST that fight
to a guy who didn’t even warrant his face being on the poster. Awesome.
No hate
I loved the fight. I just think it’s disrespectful for Strikeforce to do that to Smith, and I take some pleasure in the outcome
and do it in consecutive events… The guy that Diaz beat was even fighting for the Welterweight title and didn’t make the poster.
It is nice they’re pushing towards real matchups rather than showcase fights that protect their stars. If Hendo/Shields, Lawal/Mousasi, and Aoki/Melendez all end up being on the same card, it’ll change my opinion of Strikeforce altogether. Of course, whether they could sustain their business model without protecting their stars is the sticking point.

One of my favorite things to do is drive by the Tomcat Theatre in West Hollywood to see what’s on the marquee. My favorite titles: Sweet Homo Alabama and Drill Bill volume II. I got to admit this poster wouldn’t look out of place.

I think I can still see bisping’s face imprinted on hendo’s right fist

I don’t mind the simple, uncluttered concept. UFC 110’s poster was great.
They just need to change the background colour so it don’t hurt the eyes, and get a couple of better photos to use.
Agreed.
I'm gonna make a bold prediction here and say Cain "pillowhands" (as some of you have called him) lol Velasquez catches Nog right on the chin and finishes via strikes on the ground. Nog looked good against an old Randy. It didn't show me much. We’ll see.
