Despite being the most awaited event of the year, the poster seems quite unpleasing for the fans. People have dropped unsatisfied comments on the tweet on which UFC released the poster.
Some of the popular tweets made by fans:

Who is UFC’s graphic artist? Dana? Does UFC have an art department? Fight posters are supposed to help hype fights. This CAN NOT be the official poster.

Haha. They should have! Honestly surprised they didn’t.

Pay Dana less and hire a better designer

Quite unpleasing though. People might have been expecting a better one.
Conor and Khabib will come face-to-face a week ahead of the match at a press and fan event. Though the date hasn't been revealed, the event is excepted to be held at the end of September in Las Vegas.
