Upper Deck To Introduce MMA Trading Cards

From Orlando Sentinel, by way of MMA Payout:

Upper Deck has a mixed martial arts, MMA, trading card set on the way in October. The Art of Fighting would be the first standalone MMA trading card product, including 100 basic cards in the basic set and two autographed cards per 24-pack box.
While there's no doubting MMA's growing popularity, its mainstreaming reminds me a bit of the professional poker wave from a few years ago. Upper Deck had planned to produce a professional poker set, but those plans were scrapped. (Same for a professional fishing set around that time.)
I'm sure the MMA set will do well — Donruss' Ring Kings insert cards have been pretty popular from the Americana set.

I noticed that Elite XC is starting this deal with the trading cards too. I bought the DVD that had the Noons/Diaz fight and Kimbo's first fight on it (amongst other fights, of course). I was sort of confused when I saw Noons, Diaz, and Kimbo on, wat looked like a baseball card. Anyways, I think it's kind of a cool idea. I kept the Diaz and Kimbo card, then I fed my Noons card to my dog.
