MMA Card sets?

[DEvans]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I couldn't find anywhere else.

Does anyone know if there has been any Mixed Martial Arts cards printed by anyone? I've been searching the web and any card related sites and I cannot find anything. Any comments appreciated.

Thanks
David

im a big fight fan (mma and boxing) and id love to see it, but i dont think there are any on the market.....i heard that there are some cards produced in japan, but i dont believe there are any of the big mma associations

Thanks for the reply, hopefully they'll come out with something.

I did see a picture of a Japanese MMA card in a blog reference but I couldn't tell much about it.

There are random MMA cards, 06 Topps Allen & Ginter had cards of Randy Coture, even an Autograph thats pretty spendy.
and 07 Sport Kings has Auto/Memrobilia and base cards of Quentin Jackson.
Other than that, i dont think there is much else thats availible yet.
I do have an auto of a guy who fought in 3 or so MMA fights, but more known for being a Olympic Gold Medalist, Rulon Gardner from 05 Prestige Fans of the Game Auto

they are cards of the Pride series.... not a lot of big names... mainly japanese guys as they were produced in Japan.... i know i saw some for sale on ebay a while ago... I get email updates on MMA searches by adding forrest griffin on Myspace so i can see all kinds of crazy stuff.... a box of them i think went unsold for around 15 dlvd

yeah, i assumed thats what they were but dont remember seeing "pride" on the card (been a while since i saw it so who knows, lol)....now that UFC basically "owns" Pride, maybe some card releases will follow

in the US UFC is king but worldwide Pride is very popular. I have a friend in the military right now stationed in korea and while he was here we used to always have UFC parties. They do the same thing in korea only it is for the pride fights. From what he has said there are quite a few pride fighters that would dominate the UFC if they came over. But to many of them it is more of a cultural thing than a money thing which is why a lot of them stay in pride

but with the cards i am pretty sure they were just basic cards... it would be pretty cool to get a event used shorts card or something... although honestly i dont know if i want to hold a peice of shorts worn by crocop or someone like that who doesnt have a lot of extra material

Pride isnt big anymore, its done...UFC bought them out, and folded the league earlier this year.
Alot of the Pride Fighters have signed with UFC, but Fedor signed with a Russian MMA league

it is still big especially in asian countries it just has a different name... i dont remember what it is though and dont really want to go looking...

from what i understand about the deal, the UFC owns Pride, but are still "seperate entities"...maybe im wrong, haven't heard much on it since the deal was made, but thats how it was originally explained

id agree that Pride fighters are every bit as good as the UFC....Rampage Jackson came from Pride!! love "The Page"!!! i dont think ive ever been more hyped up before ANY fight than i was watching "The Page" before the Chucky L fight!!
