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 -- but I think I might rather have the poker/fishing boxes.
I'll decide for sure, though, when I rip into a box in October.

I wonder if they are going to be photos of their fighter profile or action photos???
Nevertheless...
This stuff is great for kids, but I couldn't get into it now. I just found a bunch of old cards (hockey, terminator, etc) that I am going to give away.

So in each pack you get like one or two good fighters, then the rest like a bunch of Gurgels or Giant Silva's?
