Donruss Enters the Octagon
Feb 22 2008 3:29PM
Donruss officials on Friday announced the latest in a string of non-traditional trading card developments, and this one should have mixed martial arts fans across the country fighting glad.
The July release of Donruss Americana II will include a Ring Kings insert featuring some of the top superstars of MMA, a cultural phenomenon that has supplanted boxing as the combat sport of choice for most fans.
Headlining the insert will be such notable names as former UFC Heavyweight champion Randy Couture, UFC Welterweight champion Matt Serra and former UFC Welterweight champion Georges St.-Pierre. Other stars slated to appear include Rich Franklin, Forrest Griffin, Dan Henderson, Houston Alexander and WEC Featherweight champion Urijah Faber.
“Everyone in Ring Kings represents one of the fastest-rising superstars in the world of sports based on the country’s overwhelming fascination with mixed martial arts,” says Donruss’ Scott Prusha. “We’re thrilled to be able to create what, for most of these guys, will be their first trading cards and autograph cards; and we’re truly excited about the future possibilities.”
Prusha says that Donruss plans to creatively sample Ring Kings early this spring at various trading card and mixed marital arts events throughout the country before unveiling an extensive promo-card rollout – with autographs – in an upcoming issue of the new Beckett Sports Card Monthly.
On a sidenote, here are some other MMA trading cards and various collectables.
