UFC 102 Pool Sheet Download

UPDATED 8/28 - Bumped up one last time for tomorrow night!
UPDATED 8/22 - I bumped this post to the top for next weeks UFC 102 event.

So I promised you guys something cool in my last post because I’ve been slacking on my site recently (full time job is demanding for the moment). Well, here it is, a kick ass UFC 102 pool sheet designed by yours truly. I make these for our events here at the house on fight nights and our friends really dig them, so I thought it would be cool to start sharing them with you guys too. I wish I could design fight related stuff all day instead of what I’m designing now. And don’t worry, I will be back in full swing on the site soon enough.

I’m going to start posting these for all the UFC events. A new design for each event, all for you to use and enjoy with your friends. Now, to answer some of your questions regarding the pool sheets.

Download the hi-res sheet: Just Click Here

1.) How does it work?

Simple. You just circle the fighter’s name you think is going to win, then circle the round and method. Don’t forget to fill in your name at the top. Then using scissors, cut on the dotted line and carry the tab with you to fill in the actual results as the fights happen. When it’s done, take your tab back and compare it to your picks.

2.) What are the game rules? How do you score the card?

The rules and points are printed on each card.

3.) How do I print it? What are the best printer settings?

When I print them on my Epson, I set it for US Letter (No Borders). I also select “scale to media” and set the image to about 103% or 104% larger. The best paper to use is card stock, and they look really great when they’re done.

Of course, you don’t have to go through that. You can just send them to print and it should look great, even if you have borders. I just prefer no borders because it looks more professional.

You will notice it prints a little light. That’s on purpose, for several reasons:

1.) It doesn’t use as much ink, saving you money on cartridges.
2.) It prints quicker, so you’re not waiting as long. Time is money.
3.) Most importantly, it allows you to see any selections made with a highlighter or circles made with a pencil or pen. Just makes it all around easier to see your picks.

4.) Are you going to make these for other events too besides just the UFC?

Sometimes, but it really just depends. The problem with many other promotions is they just can’t seem to get their shit together. They either announce cards really late or the card is constantly changing. The UFC doesn’t have these problems nearly as much so I don’t have to do much editing when they do change. But if there is enough of a request, I will certainly do so.

5.) Do you design other stuff? How much do you charge?

I love designing promotional posters and fliers for all kinds of fight related events. I am currently working for the TV industry, but I would love to do some work for anyone that needs some design done for their promotion or event. Pricing is negotiable, just ask and we’ll get something worked out.

6.) Feedback?

If you have any suggestions or notice anything like a typo, please feel free to let me know. I will try to adapt these as time goes on to your requests and needs. Without any feedback, I wont know what to correct for you.

  Yeah man, that’s how we rolled for years. Then one day, I was at work on lunch, dreading the rest of my day, and figured since I was designing, I might as well make something cool that I like. And it just kind of took off with my friends, so I thought I would see how the peeps online dig them.

  Hey Manny, glad you’re giving them a trial, hope you have fun. To make these, I primarily use Photoshop. Depending on the design needs though, sometimes I also use Cinema 4D or ProModeler.

These look great.
My buddy used to do something similar.

If I had any feedback it would be to include the record for each fighter below their name for the less informed MMA fans.

  Thanks Matt, and thanks for the feeback too. After your post, I got an email requesting the very same thing. I will definitely try to incorporate that for you guys, great idea.
  
  I hope everyone who used them were able to enjoy them. If anyone else has any requests or feedback, let me know. I have thick skin (art school and years of design will do that), so don’t be shy.

Loved the sheets man, big hit at my fight night. I have beendoing these for a while, just cut and paste off ufc.com cards, but these blow them away. One addition I would like to see is the record of the fighters. It helps the casual fans that come over get a better feel for thefighters. Great job overall though, and i hope you keep them up for future ppv’s. Thanks kevin.
