UFC Signs Deal With Topps
The Topps Company, best known as a creator and marketer of sports and related trading cards from the ranks of baseball, football, basketball and hockey, has joined forces with The Ultimate Fighting Championship. UFC, the world´s leading professional mixed martial arts organization, has agreed to give Topps exclusive rights to produce UFC brand trading cards featuring current, future and former UFC athletes. The deal lasts through May 2011 for UFC trading cards and stickers.
“We are excited to be working with Topps to showcase our incredible athletes on UFC trading cards,” said Dana White, UFC President. “We look forward to having great success with Topps, and to giving UFC fans a product they can collect and trade with other fans of our sport.”
The UFC trading cards will launch in early 2009.
This should ease the pain of Diego pulling out of his fight with Alves. When I was younger I was really into collecting baseball cards and I still have a decent amount today which I can pass onto my son. Although I get criticized for allowing my 3 year old son to watch UFC events with me he truly does love it. In fact, I came home from work a few weeks ago and he met me at the door screaming that I had to see the surprise in his bedroom. I closed my eyes, he led me by the hand and on his wall in his bedroom was a UFC poster with Tito, Forrest and a few other fighters. That made me feel so good and now I can also teach him about trading cards. This is a great deal for both the UFC and for the fans as well.

I have a major collection of Hockey and Baseball cards. My prize card is a Wayne Gretzky mint rookie card. I was collecting alot when the great one was just starting his career. Also have Messier, Bourque, Yzerman, Lemieux, Roy. None of those compare to Gretz though.
I cant wait to start collecting. Do you think #1 LOU will get a card?

Canadians know how to SCORE!
Baseballs oldest field on record is in London, Ontario, Canada
I saw the LOU thread, hence the question of if #1 Lou member will get a card. I was not impressed with its content.

Lol. No, nothing like that. Just noticing that your self-imposed ban of all things Junie hasn't seemed to stop you all from commenting on him quite a lot since he took the number 1 spot.
