Thought that was Hendo at first. I was waiting for the back yard brawl version of the H-Bomb.

I don't collect, but a couple things I have that aren't that special...

The event program book with fighter profiles from from UFC 68

The over sized giant 2 sided promo poster for UFC 100 that would hang in store windows and such leading up to a fight

The UFC toy cage with a handful of the dolls as well as the over sized giant fist pillow gloves they used to sell

I have the economy version of that fighters picture book with all the before and after pics of the fighters faces smashed up. The rich asshole version was the one that came wrapped in actual blood stained canvas... mine is wrapped in paper lol.

If we are talking just Kimbo... I have a Jakks UFC Kimbo chase figure... only 100 were made of this variant figure and what makes it different... is that it has cheesy flocked chest hair like the GI Joes in the 70s (not printed on)... so cheesy its awesome. I have 2 of these and one is signed Kevin Ferguson, which he never signed.

I also have the first piece of UFC licensed merchandise ever made.... serial # on the holo sticker is 00000001

I have lots of old SEG and early Zuffa stuff too (collect items from UFC 1-50).... boxes and boxes of shite.

Any rare combat sports or MMA memorabilia. Nostalgia.

Hmmmm I have lots. Been hoarding for years

For SEG items… my favs are a UFC 13 sbc poster (Tito’s and Randy’s first event and only 4 exist) and a UFC 18 promo poster that lists Tito as Tank Abbot’s protégé.

I also have a TUF 1 promo poster that was hung in the Spike headquarters before the show started… shame its beat up. I also have every TUF finale sbc poster… and a few of those are really tough to find (international TUF finales).

Love the SEG era… but it’s like an information black hole… its shocking that despite being from the 1990s, so much is forgotten. Not even the UFC knows what was put out for promotional material. If you look at their 25 yr anniversary stuff… where they show posters from each event, they are missing a bunch and just show the VHS cover that was released and not the event poster. Same with some of the early Zuffa shows.

I only need a UFC 5 program to have all programs from 1-50. Would pay top $ for that… and a $250 finder’s fee if someone finds me one.

Little trivia… in the UFC 29: Defense of the Belts program (Ult Japan 4)… the Japs accidently put Hughes pics for Tanner and Tanner’s pics for Hughes. I guess all us Gaijin look the same lol .
