We’ve seen some bad, bad MMA fan art in our time. (Like, really bad.) So it came as a relief when we recently stumbled upon MMAFanMade, a tumblr account that showcases the best MMA-themed art and artists on the Internet. We decided to cherry-pick some of the site’s highlights, mix in a few old classics, and put ‘em all together in the gallery above. Check it out, and if you’ve done any MMA-themed artwork yourself, please share links in the comments section. We promise that our criticism will be mostly constructive.

    Sorry but it needs to be said again - that thing you use for displaying galleries of images is absolutely awful, completely un-user-friendly. Also I'm not sure what the Beavis & Butthead thing had to do with MMA (only complaining cos I can't stand them though). THAT SAID - some really great art there, enjoyed a lot of those very much, thanks for putting that together.

    I like #13 cause Ice-T is just such a smooth motherf*cker. And Lex Luthor is looking pretty lean.

    Good stuff but I agree with lenoz. I hate the system you guys use to display pictures. There must be a better way.

    #3 is also pretty amazing. It completely captures Jardine's hopeless gaze into oncoming traffic, while serendipitously depicting him with no chin.

    Is it me or does 9 look more like Pat Barry than Thiago Alves?

    Seriously, you guys need to stop listing all the things you hate about the site.. just make a list of what you DO like, it will be much shorter and waste less of your time. My list: 1. They talk about mma.. most of the time. 2. I can say fuck and cunt and shit and nobody cares. That is all.

    Yeah the dean of mean is up there really high on the list of guys who just completely lost it. At one point, he was on his way up, fighting and winning notable fights, now he is only notable for getting KTFO by EVERYBODY

    cation on 13 should say MMA stars, and Kimbo Slice

    "that thing you use for displaying galleries of images is absolutely awful, completely un-user-friendly." . I would have to agree with this. The 'thing' is a mess. I hate everything about it.

    I've got a whole bunch of 'Fan Art' inspired by Gina Carano.....it's all over an old pair of running shorts in the corner of my room

    Zangief would totally bust Brock up. Ko via Flying Spinning Pile Driver or One mediocre kick to the gut. Either way a KO victory for the Russian.

    Love the Lauzon, BJ, and Silva's triangle art the best. Some great work in there.

    Nice work, but yes pic viewer is a no go. Check out thechive.com for an example of what, imho, works best... plus, boobies!

    Great post--I love when art and mixed martial arts meet. And I totally agree with @mousemeat about it looking more like Pat Barry.

    Paul Harris is Fing amazing, looks like he could jump right out of the canvas and tear my ACL

    @KeithHackneyWindmillPalmstrike - In the style of Jackson Pollack? . Also, picture 3 looks as much like Jone Jones as I do.
  25. FightZen Says:

    Wed, 01/11/12 - 12:47


    I mean, Picture 6. Picture 3 DEFINITELY doesn't look like Bones. At least not on the outside...

    I hate articles like this. Makes me realize I'm a talentless fuck. PS - Pic viewer sucks ass.

    I refuse to look at these based solely on the fact that Cagepotato continues to ignore the simple request of changing the picviewer format. I don't know how such a piddly site gets the undeserved sense that they can totally disregard the appeals of its pint-sized audience Well, after 2 long years of faithful article-reading, its time to say "Goodbye Cagepotato, Hello MMA junkie" PEACE

    Are you sure that's Jon Jones and not BJ Penn's brother?

    A few of those are pretty damn good. The Jardine one had me do a double take, it looked like something out of a Frank Miller comic.

    The abominable image viewer brought me to tears. I feel OhCanada27's pain, but MMAJunkie? Really?? I'd rather eat my own eyeballs than subject them to that shit...
