UFC 223 poster is above average

[MovinOn]

UFC's graphic design team takes a lot of flak for lacking imagination. This poster isn't going to win awards (are there poster awards anyway???) but it's better than most of their efforts. Thug Rose helps with the "shhh" look and Khabib's got his Dagestani papakha on.

Good main & co-main!

Why didn't they tell joanna ex-champion to face the camera?

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

 

[Rambo John J]

OK Im barbecuing today

good idea

 

[Dick Niaz]

My takeaway from this poster is that Tony is fighting Rose and she doesn't want us to tell anyone.

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Only took two hundred and twenty three PPV's but they finally made a quality poster...

Not bad.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

I wonder if it was styled this way because of DC's criticism when they made Rumble HUGE and him small on the poster.

Her looking over the shoulder is a comeback pose, like she left but is telling you "don't go anywhere, I'm on my way back..."

Rose is the obvious "Sshhh haters. I'm gonna prove you wrong again". Big, bold but not overly aggressive in any way, just like her fighting style. Almost comically arrogant.

Tony is giving us his "Will this settle shit? Will a victory over this guy solidify me as champ or will I still be in Conors shadow". Being the interim champ also gets him top billing with name and photo size here, same with Rose.


Khabib isn't doing much here lol. Looks like his best "shit just got real" face as he's finally making it to the big show (kind of)

Both challengers are on top of mountains but clearly not at the peak, not a mistake IMO. Both are clear title contenders in their division so it's a good metaphor .

That would be cool though, hire some graphic artists and win an award for best design for MMA awards or something.

I miss all the cool ass Pride posters. They really put lot of effort into the Artistic side of MMA

This one is super dope, probably not a real one though
