MMA trading cards; call me a douche

Did you guys see this story today?

mmaweekly

Yep, that's right ... the UFC has signed a deal with Topps to produce MMA trading cards. How sweet is that?

Now, I haven't collected football/baseball/basketball/hockey cards since I was 15 (and I have about 20,000 of them sitting in my basement to prove it). But I can definitely see myself buying some of these cards. Again, call me a douche/dork/rube/whatever, but I think this is one of the few great marketing moves Dana has made recently. Just goes to show how much this sport has grown.

Sounds like the cards will be released in early 2009. Super Target ... hook a brother up!!!

Just think, a Logan "The Pink Pounder" Clark trading card, complete with stats, etc. I know Logan isn't in the UFC any longer, but he's 1-0 in the UFC, so maybe Logan could be part of a "legends" set!

I don't know, I think the whole thing is cool.
