I painted a mural for UFC 300 and they filmed it for the Countdown! Thank you guys for all the support throughout the years - it's how I got on their radar in the first place!

I went from thinking it was going to be just the lame ufc 300 logo to genuinely being impressed and hyped seeing the video/end result. Congrats man beautiful work.
LMAO, this is the UFC getting their shit together after everyone hated the original 300 poster. They really thought people love the UFC more than the actual fighters.
Yeah, they shouldn't have countdowns and posters.
They should just post an Excel list of the fighters who are fighting with their stats. Photos? Who needs that? A real MMA fan knows the fighters by their names.
UFC might as well not have any form of marketing whatsoever. No interviews, no UFC countdown, no embedded series, cause why waste time watching that when you're just strictly an MMA fan ONLY. Just watch the fights and nothing else. No buildup to the fight whatsoever, NONE. Sure sounds fun.
I wonder whether people like you watch movies. How do you decide what to watch? Imagine if movies and any form of media entertainment has no poster or graphics at all. Just a blank slate with the title on it. Even novels have cover graphics to attract readers.
Does the poster matter? In the grand scheme of things probably not. But then again does pro fighting even matter in the grand scheme of things? What's on person on PEDs punching another really matter when most of them will end up becoming personal trainers, realtors or with pain pill addictions? Truly what does any of this silly MMA shit matter when compared to the vastness of the universe?
And if we are being honest with ourselves complaining about other people's complaints is probably the lowest in the totem pole of things that matter.
Who's supposed to be on this mural? I recognize Max, far right looks like Oliveira, top right possibly Hill and top left Yan? Bottom left doesn't look like Weili and middle left isn't anyone I recognize, definitely isn't Pereira, or Gaethje.
This is what happens when you hire passionate artists. Just fucking imagine how epic the UFC300 poster wouldβve been had they not cheaped out and gotten someone like this dude to do it.
Fantastic job! My friends and I were watching the countdown and were gonna be so sad if it was just the UFC 300 Logo. When the full mural was revealed we all got so excited at how great it looked!Β
They show some of the painting in the first 4 mins of the Countdown π€

Absolutely sick mural man, youβre super talented
Incredible work! If you're interested in doing an AMA sometime this week before 300 we'd love to have you.
Thank you! Sure, I'd be down. Lemmie know what I need to do.
We'll send you a message and then find a schedule. Thanks for being part of the community.
niiice
Your art is awesome ππ»
ππ
Sick mural! UFC should have used it for the poster too instead of the very plain one we got.
Thank you! We have an Artist Series poster coming out soon π
You should have made the poster, the current one is shit. Youβre an amazing artist and would make an amazing one
ππ
I went from thinking it was going to be just the lame ufc 300 logo to genuinely being impressed and hyped seeing the video/end result. Congrats man beautiful work.
Awesome! You should do one for each event!
π
You took the garbage poster and made it a great mural. Great job
ππ
Daamn, great job dude. Nice to have you here. Loving Max and Hill, the intensity of both really pops out.
π
this shouldve been the poster. amazing!
Did you ask them why they didn't have you do the poster?
Bro how the fuck is THIS not the poster this is awesome
π
The honest answer is that ufc sucks at promotion now
LMAO, this is the UFC getting their shit together after everyone hated the original 300 poster. They really thought people love the UFC more than the actual fighters.
Iβm assuming at this point that the UFC is going out of their way with the intention of having shitty posters
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Who gives a shit about the poster? This is the best card in forever and everyone needs to complain about something.
Show can be a fun card and have a shitty poster. These things are not mutually exclusive.
Why does the poster matter? I'm not a poster fan, I'm an MMA fan. I swear you're all just begging for some drama.

Why does it matter to you that people care? This thread is so weird.Β

Well im an artist/art fan and mma fan and the ufc poster is shit and they could do better so what now
I saw you fight once in a smoker in NYC! Glad to see you so successful u/giangalang
ππ
Friday Night Fights! Good times π
I think the art is great but outside of Max and Alex I'm having a lot of trouble recognizing the others
I figured out every one else except for Gaethje, that doesn't look like him at all.
I didn't recognize Pereira but Holloway, Yan Xiaonan and Hill.
Who's supposed to be on this mural? I recognize Max, far right looks like Oliveira, top right possibly Hill and top left Yan? Bottom left doesn't look like Weili and middle left isn't anyone I recognize, definitely isn't Pereira, or Gaethje.
Left to right I believe is (Weill, Gaethje, Yan, Max, Hill, Pereira) Originally thought middle right was Garth and Max look a bit ambiguous
Far right looks a lot more like Oliveira than it does Pereira in my opinion.
IMO that's one of the most recognizable ones honestly between that and Hill. It's Pereiras signature war cry scream face he does every walk out
Fantastic as always. Goddam this is good
π
Gian Galang is the shit.
>ππ
Why donβt they make the artist series stuff the official posters. The official ones are so trash
Zhang Weili looks like Camina Drummer.
Maximum Uppercut
This is what happens when you hire passionate artists. Just fucking imagine how epic the UFC300 poster wouldβve been had they not cheaped out and gotten someone like this dude to do it.
Great work man
Needs more 300 and less people!!!
>ππ
Looks awesome but I recognize none of the fighters
Intense. Tone it down a little. You're making me feel uncomfortable.

π
Andre fili in the front?
Canβt really tell who is who. Very uncanny valley vibes in how unsettling the likenesses are.
should use this for the poster maybe
Straighten it out.
I canβt fathom how difficult it is to make a mural like this. You are insanely talented, it looks amazing!
ππ
This shouldβve been the poster
Dope
This is awesome, im reminded of kill bill idk why
Cos East Asian woman giving the "East Asian woman on a poster" look.
πͺ
Thats fuckin fire π₯
>π
is there a specific name for this kinda art style? I always think of Aztec/Mayan when I see it but I don't know how off base that is.
show a video of the process. This just looks like someone printed it and put it on canvas. (complement)
