While I admire the UFC giving all main card fighters poster exposure
I’m not sure if Struve/Brown and Stann/Santiago belong in this poster. Agree?
So let me get this straight: the WWE has gone from the powerful "Austin 3:16" to the dominant and iconic "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" all the way to... (cue baby voice) "You can't see me." Oh, believe me, we all can see you. A blind-folded, sleeping, stuck in the basement, Stevie Wonder can see your monkey ass. - The Rock
I'm thinking they know that Edgar and Maynard aren't exactly huge draws,
so they have to stack the card, (and the poster), with a ton of good fights that could capture people’s attention.

The bigger question for me
is when are they just going to give you the graphic design job and class up the joint a bit. Do our repeated pleas in the comment section of a blog mean nothing to them?

What Anton said
Plus- these are all fighters they want to push. And it all fits in quite nicely.
It really is a great card.

not complaining about the card, only the poster
and I thought putting Roy Nelson alone would make a hell of a stacked poster. =)

Take out Struve and Stann from the poster
and put in Torres and Alves and you’ve got a keeper

@anonymousbungi
and to capitalize “fan interest” even further, put Torres beside Mir.

that would be how Strikeforce would do it.
they always have that ‘movie poster look’ where you lump all of the most famous guys participating.

AWESOME card! And on my birthday too.

I wish they would do something as awesome for my birthday..

here in Philly the only places to watch fights are strip clubs
there’s a restaurant called Champps [yes, two Ps, for a double dose of profit] that charges $10 a patron to watch the fights, yet they don’t show prelims.
strip clubs will charge $15, but you get prelims and titties.

The cans definitely push the fights over the top.

That is the best poster in a while, and SOOOO much better then Penn VS Fitch.
Kimbo wants to take your caterpiller and do bad things to it.
Interesting note
All 5 main card fights have at least 1 fighter that was in either the main event or co-main event in his last fight.
It's already been mentioned
that Alves/ Story is all but guaranteed to be a barn burner, and thus a great lead in to the PPV. Plus, Alves has some name value, and should pull good ratings on SPIKE.

Yeah, I don’t see the problem with Struve/Browne as a swing bout on the main card. Especially as Alves/Story is being televised anyway, as well as Torres/Pickett. It’s pretty sick though that SIX fights on this card could impact the top ten. Just goes to show what a tremendous job UFC are doing right now.
if im right
There are twelve top 25’s on this card. It isn’t stacked with huge names, but it is stacked with talent

Can’t wait to see Mir/Nelson. I’m real curious to see where both of those guys stand. Hoping Nelson pulls out a nice win!
I don't know. I think Nelson should be a favorite against Mir. I don't agree with the odds at all.
The same for Rampage. He should be a bigger favorite. I mean Matt Hamit beat Tito Ortiz but it was still a 29-28 fight as far as I can remember

UFC Posters are boring.
I miss the old Pride posters. Like the one with the butterfly landing on the Pride glove. That was badass.

So here we go...
with the “UFC posters suck!” comments. It’s a poster…about 2 guys that fight in a cage. I’m pretty sure that the marketing guys at Zuffa know what they’re doing.
I’m a graphic designer (for a MUCH smaller company of course) and it just kinda bugs me when practically every UFC poster gets ragged on. They look fine to me and they get the job done, could some of us do better? Sure, but we’re not employed by Zuffa and the posters aren’t some elementary bs. I’ve seen much worse.

Strangely enough in light of your comment, there’s very little hate for the poster design. Questions of who should/could be on it aren’t really about the design, and saying that Anton would do a better poster is just… fact (cause Anton is super awesome). Many UFC posters do get shit on (some unnecessarily) but so far this isn’t one of them.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
Yeah not too much hate...yet
And Anton does do great work, but it’s not anywhere near a fact that he could do a better poster because, you know, that’s not how facts work. Even if I was to say that his posters are better than the official posters, that would still just be my opinion.

Hyperbole for effect, neighbour.

I guess...
but that’s not how hyperboles work either…

i think they should throw something about the spike prelims in the corner or something as torres/alvesare former champions/contenders respectively
Maynard has Adonis DNA.
