The UFC’s poster design team had to come up with something new for next Saturday’s UFC on ABC 2 event after the headliner was switched up on less than two weeks’ notice.
With Darren Till forced to withdraw due to a broken collarbone, [autotag]Marvin Vettori[/autotag] now meets [autotag]Kevin Holland[/autotag] in a five-round middleweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on ABC following prelims on ESPN.
The change forced the UFC to remake the poster for the event, and it has now been released. It’s rather traditional, with the Italian Vettori (16-4-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) and the American Holland (21-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) facing off in front of a backdrop of their respective flags.
