RARE UFC 218 Unreleased Canceled-Bout Mini Poster & Bout Sheet - Near Mint!
Own an incredibly rare, unreleased piece of MMA memorabilia with this double-sided UFC 218 promotional mini poster and bout sheet from the Dec. 2, 2017, event in Detroit. This specific version features the canceled original main event and was never distributed at the venue. Three weeks before the fight, Frankie Edgar pulled out due to injury and was replaced by José Aldo. These were never released by the UFC after Edgar pulled out, making this un-updated promo print a highly sought-after collector's item.

The Fight That Never Happened

This item is a historical snapshot of the UFC 218 fight card before chaos struck three weeks out from the event
  • The Canceled Main Event: The front artwork showcases Max "Blessed" Holloway vs. Frankie "The Answer" Edgar for the UFC Featherweight Championship. Because Edgar withdrew three weeks prior, these posters were scrapped for the updated Holloway-Aldo 2 variant, making surviving early promotional prints scarce.
  • The Rest of the Legendary Card: Despite the main event swap, the rest of the historic lineup went on to make UFC 218 one of the greatest pay-per-views in recent memory. The bout sheet side lists iconic matchups like Francis Ngannou vs. Alistair Overeem (featuring Ngannou's terrifying first-round KO) and the legendary Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje "Most Violent Fighter" war.
  • Future Hall of Famers Listed: Includes early-card appearances by Henry Cejudo, Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira, and Dominick Reyes
