“The ultimate collectible for the UFC fan! This is the time to buy, as the sport grows it will only go up in value! This is the belt put on Ricco Rodriguez after defeating Randy Couture in UFC 39! He’s selling it to help raise money for a school we are opening in the south. UFC 39 was a fight for the history books. With heavyweight title up for grabs one of the greatest fighters of all time enters the cage with the underdog, Ricco, and after some very tough fighting on both sides, Ricco is finally able to control and dominate Randy Couture, eventually winning by verbal tap out. Very few heavyweights can say they tapped Randy Couture. It’s a perfect example of how skilled Ricco Rodriguez really is, though he rarely gets the credit he deserves. It should also be noted that after that fight, randy dropped from heavyweight to light heavy, and has only returned to the heavyweight division in the last year…. This sport is blowing up. don’t be the guy kicking yourself 20 years from now wishing you bought this when you had the chance. They don’t come on the market very often. Ricco isn’t excited to part with it, but has a family now and is looking at the future.”
I guess he held onto the strap even after losing it to Tim Sylva via knockout at UFC 41: “Onslaught” in 2003.

Here is my only chance to become a UFC champ! I got the cash skills not the phycical skills!
speaking of hustling…it’s not easy being a champ and this guy is just gonna throw away the belt. Give it to Dan Henderson cause he might need it.
I’ll go $10 tops. Haha.
dude, each champ gets his own belt to keep… the one he wears into the cage is up for grabs… the one he won months before is usually at home on display or some shit
wonder how much its gonna go for
starting bid is 30,000. good luck ricco…
LMAO its starting at $30.000
sorry 29.999.99 …..LMAO not worth 30 grand… you gotta be crazy to buy that

Actually thats not true, after each title fight the winner THEN receives the belt which Dana or a Fertita brother will put around the champions waist. the belt that some fighters may wear on their way to the cage before their fights are the belts that they won previously. For example the belt BJ penn wore at UFC 58 on the way to the octagon was the one that he received from beating matt hughes at UFC 46. And the belt that matt hughes wore on the way to his fight at UFC 65 was the one he won at UFC 50.
Thats why Frank Shamrock has 5 UFC belts in a trophy case at his gym and Matt hughes has 9 Belts that he keeps in a display case.
hope that makes sense.
What are the belts made out of?
Superbowl rings are usually appraised at $20k to $30k. I see a lot of diamonds on the superbowl rings. I don’t see any diamonds on the UFC belts. Me thinks, Ricco might be asking a little too much.
Yeah he isn’t a coke head. He is trying to sell his belt for 30 grand…r u kidding me…This is hilarious.
Kids, DONT DO COCAINE!!!! or u will end up like Ricco. lol

This isn’t something being sold by a jeweler. It’s a rare item that some rich folk may want to be a part of. Therefore the value could go up quite a bit more.
I might go for this if it included Bruce Buffer following me everywhere and introducing me as the UFC champion every time I go out in public.
that thing looks like it needs a good cleaning
At least it comes with free shipping.
$30k, a lot of coin for sure…but that is nearly a one of a kind collectors item. Not many peeps outside of actual ufc champs will ever set their hands on one of these. I am a memorabilia collector, if I had $30k to spend, I would definately be bidding. Recent acquisitions of 07 Red Sox memorabilia finds me about…oh, $29,999 short I would say!!LOL I just hope it is truly to raise money for a school and not to finance some out of control drug habit.

Oh yeah, if I had that kind of money to blow on collectors Item, I would in a heartbeat. Its the UFC Heavyweight title for crying out loud (it would probably worth a lot more if it was one of Randy’s belts)
Dont do blow kid, or u will end up selling your Title!
I ain’t spending 30G’s..I’l be homeless with the ufc belt wrapped around my waist..feeling like the ultimate buyer..buy this..even if I had the money..I wouldn’t want his belt..now if it were Randy’s or Anderson’s..shit even BJ’s maybe we can talk..but most likely still wouldn’t spend no 30G’s..if I had 30G’s to blow..it will not be on ufc belt.
Whoever is selling the UFC Belt also sold a christmas Wells Fargo horse?? WTF. I wouldnt trust them with that belt, lol.
” Is HD Net Fights calling it quits?
I don’t know if it’s true, but someone who works for HD Net told me that Cuban might call it quits for the fight. This person told me that Cuban was really pissed off about losing 100’s of thousands of dollars in just two shows. I also heard that Cuban might get rid of Mezger and replace him with Matt Lindland and just air Lindland’s show.
That’s all i know. If anybody out knows more or the real reasons please let me know. I thought HD Net Fights was doing good and this is a big shocker to me.
I thought it was false info, but I went on HD net fights’ website and they haved
removed the show they had scheduled in Feb.”

I hear that Arlovski will fight Eddie Sanchez in March. Hopefully this is just a rumor, although feeding Arlvski a “can” in his next fight might help him get his mind right. I want to see the old, scary, hairy back Arlovski that HW sh*t there pants when they heard his name. This headcase, gun shy Arlovski just isnt doing it for me.
Talk about needing to see a sport Psychologist!
[quote comment="254339"]I’ll go $10 tops. Haha.[/quote]

No, there is no link, but a really good freind of mine ran into arlovski and his super hot girlfreind over the weekend. Arlovski was freindly and actually spoke to my freind for like 3 minutes. My boy couldnt understand much of what he was saying but he said he expects the UFC to extend his contract and that Dana wants him to fight Eddie Sanchez in March.
I think it would see some bids if it started at $5,000. Not from me, but somebody

Sweet!! Which row do you think Sanchez’ head will land in ?? ..id say the 10th
The ebay seller only has a 26 transaction history and he wants to sell a $30k item. Good luck.
Matt Hughes has one of his belts hanging up at Darcy’s Pint in Springfield, IL. He is friends with the owners and the place just happens to be his favorite restaurant.
School… to work on cocaine lines?
because its for a good cause, im all for it
The right bidder would certainly pony up $30,000. Consider how much baseballs can go for, this isn’t unreasonable.
I bet it goes for more then 30K….someone out there wants a UFC belt, the sport is growing and it will go up in value

Screw it. I’m not shelling out 10 bucks for a belt that’s too loose. I’d have to get it tailored to add a much tighter notch so I’m looking at more like $15. Fat fuck ruined a good belt.
Seriously the belts are pretty meaningless. Except for the first one maybe. They’re just for show. It’s always been that way. Anyways the UFC blets are big gaudy things that look like some dumb thing that one of those WWE guys wear into the ring. That’s just my take. I liked the way GSP said that the belt is meaningless until he fights Serra again.

It probably doesn’t fit around around his fat waist anymore.
How much did this belt end up selling for?
10000000000000000000000 dollars
