So much of the reason I enjoy watching the UFC is the care and attention given to all the pre-fight promotion. The weigh-ins, interviews, and stare downs are all such an important part of the sport to me. I see the event posters as another opportunity to build the story further and try something different visually to accompany the event posters we are used to seeing.
