Here's a few pics of the real and fake Colosseum 2000 posters (from my collection). You will see a difference in posters and image size. Real poster is 20 x 28 1/2" - Fake is 19 3/4 x 27 5/8" colors are a dead giveaway also. blue namer please post, thx!

i may have just shed a tear... ruben is giving back! bravo bravo!
and I still have that 75 (with tape on it). They didn't sell ufc japan (japanese) at the event. If you want a rio 2 (portuguese) that works, if not I can send it back pronto...
Bummer. I'll pass on the Rio 2, thx FP!
the link is not working for me Homeboy, can you email a pic to me? I'll get it posted for you.

Thanks Chip! In pic #3 the posters are lined up to the bottom left hand corner, you can see the difference in size of the paper. In pic #4 you can see the image size difference on the black area, it's shorter on the fake also noticeable in pic #1.
I've got one that I bought off rinkya a few years ago from some Japanese dude that's the size listed as fake. Worst $200 I ever spent (besides a couple red light cameras and a filthy massage in Toronto)
Oh and thanks homeboy for being helpful in determining that mine was a fake. I appreciate the pics too.
Its funny because some of us have been collecting these posters for a long time, and are just now discovering out about them being fake. Good job, homeboy.
Found out my Colosseum 2000 poster is real! Bought that one from Cam.
I just checked my collesium 2000 posters and i have 3 of them all 3 different sizes.
Now what?
A Cam, Kult_K and a real one?
These guys can tell you which one came from Canada if you don't remember? It will cost tho...

Can anyone else verify that they have a real one with the correct size? Yuma did you have one similar to the dimensions I posted?
chip you're prob right 1 of each. My real one came from a collector in japan, got it about 6-7 years ago. The fake, I think came from vitor-belfort (AKA kult kloemel) germany.
I jst stacked them and saw they were all 3 different sizes. I will have to measure them out. I have another one somewhere. when i find it and measre them all out i will post measurements.
Whats a signed fake worth?
No more then $50 Hix, it's just a Rickson sig on a piece of paper to me.
I just bought a 10 X 7.2" version of this poster. Is that a B4 or something?
Sorry brother
