The UFC were on a fairly abysmal run with their posters for while there.
It's a very small complaint considering everything else that we tend to complain about, but posters are kind of important.
They're important to catch the eyes of casual fans and people who have never seen the sport before in order to tune in.
They also should serve the hardcore fans who will tun in regardless. Those good folks need to be rewarded for their loyalty too.
However, recently, the posters have been either unimaginative...

Unsurprisingly, pretty much all of those posters have received backlash from fans online for just not being up to scratch. The UFC must have been paying attention to these complaints, because their new one promoting UFC Auckland's main event between Mark Hunt and Derrick Lewis is a real doozy.
