MAN
UFC posters just keep getting worse and worse. This poster makes it look like Tito and Lil Nog are the featured guest DJs at Manhole.

shockingly
I think this is the best poster they’ve had in a while. You’ve got good, but not glaringly ugly color contrasts, hyping the city it’s in, fighters not in the standard “look at each other from one half of the poster” pose. This is actually better than most, imo

To me the color differences from blue, to red, and yellow was the most fugly thing about this poster. But I am by no means artistically laid.

Given that the top is a 2011 Tito Ortiz, how do you figure?

You said top to bottom was awesome
The top is a 2011 Tito Ortiz.
So explain to me again how what you said is accurate.
by The Ghost of Spike Owen on Jan 25, 2011 3:55 PM EST up reply actions
Lol, you could take pleasure in seeing Tito potentially lose to Nog? It could still be a good fight despite a 2011 Tito, good point though.
I agree with you, it’s a pretty decent card all around for being a Fight Night.

I don't think they'll
cut Hardy quite yet. He’s still a big part of the draw in Britain. I hope Hardy wins but I think Tony might wrestle the shit out of him.
i highly doubt rumble tries to wrestle
his defensive bjj has been awful in previous performances and while hardys not exactly rickson gracie he did display a good ability to survive on the ground against gsp and might have the skills to sub him
expect it to be a standup war

Is this on Spike or VS?
I actually love the VS product better. Especially when Helwani and Qerim do a pre and post show.

Huh?
I like those! Feels like a real sporting event and its cool when they have guest fighters like when Pettis and Cruz won. Rogan and Goldie dont do shit as far as making it seem legit.
Also, I rewatched the Beltran fight last night and Goldie went on about Barry having fought CRoCop while Beltran landed on 3 diff exchanges. Not one thing about it. Infuriating

Why? He is the best in the business at what he does, and that pre and post fight Versus show is great, I love it when they do it,
I love when MMA Live does a post show, which they are doing for 126 which is great, I beleive they will do one for 128 in NJ and 129 in Toronto as well.
But yeah the 4 Versus shows I’m sure they will do a pre and post show on Versus, which i really like.
If there's anyone capable of beating Johnson over and over again, it's actually Nam Phan.

Rumble wins
The interesting question then is does Hardy get run? Probably not, but one more and it could be getting dicey for him.
by The Ghost of Spike Owen on Jan 25, 2011 11:46 AM EST up reply actions
I don't think Hardy will lose. I hate Hardy and I like Anthony Johnson
But it seems like he will come in completly out of it at like 174 or 175. Then Hardy will swallow his prize and take Johnson down
hahaha. No. Ive been watching trailer park boys for about a month
I was hoping someone would catch on.
Holy crap they actually used the city as a background!!!
KeyArena is going to be renamed soon so let’s see what it changes to. The naming rights expired and KeyBank is in the crapper.
Fire Gus "What's a screen?" Bradley.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't give Hardy a more winnable fight
considering he is their new UK poster boy. Or at least was until he got KO’d by Condit.

He may be more well rounded
but Hardy has proven KO power, which Bisping doesn’t.

proven KO power?
Hardy has one KO in the UFC. Hardy’s KO power may be the most overrated thing in all of mma. Just my opinion lol

Well to be fair Bisping has had over twice as many fights in the UFC as Hardy.

I missed his fights in '06 or '07
Fight Finder lists them as TKOs. Were they like his other TKO wins where he just overwhelms his opponent? Cuz if so, that isn’t KO power. Getting the stoppage isn’t the point.

This looks like a Strikeforce poster.
Tilted font, city, and no head to head fighters.

SF does it much better though. js

SF posters better?
Your kidding right? I mean dont get me twisted I dont think the UFC does great posters, frankly I dont care about posters, I think they do simple posters that work, but SF posters are terrible.
You think that SF Diaz/Cyborg poster is good?
I dont care about posters anyway I think they serve a purpose, like this works cause it shows you the fighters and who they are fighting, like look at the SF Diaz/Cyborg poster, its terrible, and it doesnt do its job.
ehhh . . . this poster still looks good
but yeah SF posters are a bit better.
I tend to be biased towards strikers . . . exciting strikers.

But he sais that for Machida…this is nonsense

by MMA_Revolution on Jan 25, 2011 11:24 AM EST reply actions
Simple, Hardy is from teh UK, a market the UFC wants to continue to build it, and Hardy is the biggest star in the UK behind Bisping I believe, so he wont get cut, its pretty simple.
What people have to realize is there are a few things that will determine if the UFC cuts your or not.
Are you a big star/draw?
Do you put on exciting fights
Have you been with the company long and helped them out?
like Bonnar will never get cut, Wandi could lose but if he puts on exciting fights, Leben as well they wont get cut, if your a mega draw/star you wont get cut, with Hardy he is a big star in a market the UFC is building in, so you keep him.
If Franklin loses a few fights he wont get cut cause he has been a company man who has been with the UFC and has helped them, took fights at 195, moved to LHW when they wanted him to, filled in on TUF for them, took the fight with Chuck, so he was a loyal company man for them and they will reward him for that.
So Hardy could lose to Rumble and still not get cut.
Machida isnt a huge star, he isnt what Hardy is in the UK, it may not be fair but its the truth, after Bisping Hardy is the second most popular mma fighter in the UK I believe.
Semerzier getting a fight after 3 straight losses? FW must really be shallow right now

Am I the only one that notices that they put Hardy’s stomach tattoo on the poster this time but censored it when he was fighting GSP? Kind of odd.
It had something to do with the nature/origin of his tattoo and their attempts to expand into the Chinese market. I believe I read about that on here

Not me
Went to the Showtime Bantamweight tournament in Tacoma. They offered great action and fighters at a great price.
This is a lackluster lineup for an overpriced ticket. Portland gets Nog/Randy as a first-time main event and we get a 2011 Tito? Discerning consumers would do well to stay away and demand better from Dana & Co. The whole point of the merger is we weren’t supposed to have to put up with bullshit main events like this anymore.
by The Ghost of Spike Owen on Jan 25, 2011 3:09 PM EST up reply actions
Is the fact that it's not a PPV reflected in the live-ticket price?
Because the lowest I’m seeing is $148, and it’s an insult to my intelligence to ask me to pay $150 to sit at the top of the Key Arena and watch a card the main event of which is a 2011 Tito Ortiz.
I paid $50 to sit in the tenth row and watch back-to-back contenders for Fight of the Year at the EQC.

My concern is y’all will go, and then Dana won’t have an incentive to deliver better cards because he knows you guys will pay to attend any fights he cares to roll out under the UFC brand name.

If it’s nothing or this dreck for that amount of money, I’ll stick with nothing. I made it the first 18 years of the sport without a UFC in Seattle. Reckon I can make it another couple until he decides to come up here in a manner befitting what Seattle has meant to the sport.

The Northwest in general and Portland and Seattle in particular have long been a hotbed of the sport.

…because Team Quest set up there and they run SportFight? I live in Vancouver, so I know what the PNW is all about when it comes to MMA, I’m not saying it’s not a developed area for the sport, but the UFC doesn’t owe any region or city a damn thing in terms of “what it’s meant to the sport”. PLUS they ran Portland 16 months ago anyway. You’re coming off as a bit of an elitist here.

Def a really good fight night card.
Tito/Nog and Rumble/Hardy, I mean honestly these could be on a PPV main card, Tito/Nog def has the names to be the 4th or 5th main card fight, and same with Hardy/Rumble.
You get
Tito/Nogs
Rumble/Hardy
Bang/Amir
Nam/Garcia
Then you have stud BW prospect McDonald vs Pace, Hathaway/McCray, Madsen, Russow, McCorkle, Mackens, Miranda, Simpson, thats a good card.
I wish it was a 5 fight main card though, I want to see McDonald/Pace and see Hathaway how he bounces back after losing.
But this is a dam good fight night.
Just it seems strange why they didnt do this as the lead in to TUF?
Normally they do that, and think about it, Tito/Nogs and Rumble/Hardy fight night leading into TUF with Brock, think of how big that night would have been for mma fans and Spike.
You’d get 3 mill people to tune into the main event easy, I just saw the Troops peaked at 2.5, so with Tito you def probably do 3 mill, then Brock on TUF, they would def draw 4 to 5 mill for the debut episode, wonder why they decided to do it like this.
