The official event poster for “UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans” has been released, and it ain’t too shabby. The billboard certainly isn’t as aesthetically appealing as its UFC 144 predecessor, but that ad was for the Octagon’s return to Japan, and we all know how artsy MMA ads in The Land of the Rising Sun can be.
UFC 145 takes place April 21st and features the eagerly-anticipated grudge match between light heavyweight champ Jon Jones and Rashad Evans. Welterweights Rory MacDonald and Che Mills will serve as the show’s co-main event.
