UFC News round up: UFC 284 official poster trolled by MMA fans
The main event of UFC 284 will pit lightweight champion Islam Makhachev against Alexander Volkanovski. Makhachev will attempt to make his maiden title defense, while Volkanovski will attempt to become a two-time champion. However, the crowd has not received the official battle poster well.
The UFC produced the official bout poster for the occasion. MMA Mania shared the same on Twitter, requesting ratings from 1 to 10. This received some harsh reviews, including a few 1/10s. The primary event should be the main focus and should take up the majority of the poster, in the opinion of one fan who scored the poster a 7 out of 10.
7/10 like the idea but the main event should be the main focus and should take up most of the poster imo

UFC releases its 30 years journey
A revolution was initiated on November 12, 1993, by Art Davie and Rorion Gracie. They were unaware of it at the time. The Ultimate Fighting Championship was an event that the two just intended to stage to answer the age-old question of which type of martial arts would be most effective in a real fight. The UFC will commemorate its 30th birthday this year. It appears that Davie and Gracie were aware of certain information that the rest of the world was not.
The UFC Instagram account shared a 30-year compilation video including the biggest fighters and the best promotional moments. The video is provided below.

The UFC fights can cover the entire spectrum of martial arts, with devastating knockouts, smooth submissions, wars of attrition, technical battles, and all-out action fights that keep spectators on the edge of their seats from start to finish. However, they are no longer the spectacle they once were.
And the UFC has endured as the ultimate testing ground, given that these battles included former Olympians, accomplished grapplers, black belts in all martial arts styles, and old-school brawlers. But this is not the conclusion. The UFC’s history has only just begun after thirty years.
