ufc motivator contest 1

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated. 

MMAmania is giving away more than $700 in prizes thanks in part to the good folks over at BetUS.com and MMAWarehouse.com.

The lone requirement to win some green: Creativity.

We did this a few months ago and you guys delivered. Now we’re bringing it back for the upcoming UFC 82: “Pride of a Champion” on Saturday March 1.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Go to BigHugeLabs.com to create your motivational poster.

Step 2: Upload your poster to Photobucket or another image hosting site of your choice and leave us a link in the comments section. Or, send the image to us at this email.

Step 3: Be sure that your creation is original and relates to UFC 82. Try to keep it PG-13 at the very least. For the complete UFC 82 fight card click here.

Want to know what you are playing for?

First place: $200 FREE play at BetUS.com, a sick poker chip set and $50 shopping spree at MMAWarehouse.com.

Second place: $150 FREE play at BetUS.com and a $100 shopping spree at MMAWarehouse.com.

Third place: $100 FREE play at BetUS.com and a UFC DVD.

Honorable mention: MMAmania.com t-shirts.

This contest will run until Friday to give you guys enough time to put something solid together, win some cash and bet on the fights next weekend with some FREE bread.

Let me know if you have any questions — I’ll provide a little more info personally when we receive the submissions. Look forward to seeing some hilarious/inspirational stuff.

Remember to also create an account at BetUS.com through this link as soon as possible. We’ll need your account number to deposit the winning amounts on Friday. It’s better to do it now rather than at the last moment.

For those who already have established accounts at BetUS.com just have the account information handy and ready to send us if applicable.

We can’t wait to see what ya’ got.

MMAmania,

You should be more straight with your readers. Your first sentence states:

“MMAmania is giving away more than $700 in cash and prizes”

That is NOT true at all. You are NOT giving way “$700 in cash”, you are not even giving away $1 in cash.

It says “In cash and prizes”, meaning that the items that will be given away amount to 700 dollars worth of goods, to give you an idea of the worth of the things you are competing for.

OK Sal. I deleted the word. It’s a lot of free money no matter how you want to spin it.

No … just related somehow. If you have Arlovski walking his dog, for example, that’s fine as long as it ties in (the tie-in is Arlovski because he’s competing on the UFC 82 card).

When you say try to keep it at pg-13, does that mean I cant use a picture of Anderson Silva where hes wearing a shirt that says “I fuck on the first date” ?

I agree. Though I am a fan of his, this would be a good “plan b”. where is that pic from? at least it fits in with the ufc 82 idea.

Dan your myspace link does not work… At least for me it doesnt

RT, First of all- Mine was very original. Just because you found one with the same picture does not mean mine isnt original.
Second of all- I hate you. I felt really about that one after I made it… it took me a while. And then you accuse me of stealing someones. what a douche
