Gold Found in Illinois!

We are happy to announce that Alfonso Rodriguez of Melrose Park, IL, was the first Topps UFC Main Event collector to find the highly sought after card featuring autographs from Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, and Dana White.

Alfonso and a guest will be heading out to Las Vegas to join Dana White at the UFC Training Center to watch a preliminary fight during the filming of The Ultimate Fighter season 12.

Collectors that find one of the remaining 9 cards are still eligible to redeem the card for a set of UFC fight gloves signed by White, Liddell, and Ortiz by emailing UFCprize@topps.com.

Congrats to Alfonso on winning "The Ultimate Prize!"

The Ultimate Foto: Season 11

Well, season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter is underway on Spike and it looks like this season will be full of action, surprises and great fights.

Topps was once again at the UFC Training Facility for the start of the season for our latest photo shoot with the new competitors and coaches. Everyone seemed to enjoy the process of making what are essentially the 14 fighters’ rookie cards.

Below are scans of the autographed cards for the first 2 fighters to match up, Clayton McKinney and Kyle Noke.

These cards will be showing up in packs in a future Topps UFC release.

        

Recent Box Break with UFC Fighters and MMAdiehards.com

Hector Castro of MMAdiehards.com, the new internet source for all things MMA, joined me in the Topps office recently. He was nice enough to bring along AMA Fight Club owner and head trainer Mike Constantino and AMA Fight Club members and UFC fighters Jim Miller and Charlie "The Spaniard" Brennaman. Jim and his brother Dan are featured in 2010 UFC Main Event and Charlie is sure to be featured in an upcoming Topps release.
