2009 Topps UFC: The Newest UFC Trading Card Set2009 Topps UFC: The Newest UFC Trading Card SetTopps Releases Second UFC-Themed Trading Card Set

A second UFC-themed trading card product will be released in time for the UFC Fan Expo, which will be held July 10-11, in conjunction with UFC 100. This news is according to a new report from Topps.

Entitled “2009 Topps UFC,” the series will feature a 165 card a set, as well as several special inserts and special-edition card sets.

The cards are considered a new brand rather than a follow-up series to the original Topps UFC Round One cards that were released in February.

According to the report, each hobby box includes 16 packs, and will retail for a suggested four dollars per pack. The hobby boxes are guaranteed to contain a minimum of two autograph cards, as well as at least two memorabilia cards.

The new set will feature some of the same fighters that were also contained in the first series of cards, but the new series will also feature some of the organization's newest fighters.

Grapplearts Submissions - The Most Asskicking iPhone App You'll Ever Own

Tue, 04/14/2009 - 12:53 by David Hojak  

Your iPhone: Now a war weaponYour iPhone: Now a war weaponGrapplearts – Helping You to Kick More Ass With Your iPhone

Something I pride myself on, obsessively in some cases, is my instructional collection.

Videos and texts, DVDs and cassette tapes, a diverse array of martial arts… everything I’ve ever been interested in.

You can’t even buy some of the things I have anymore, and if you could, it’d be tattered or worn, likely warranting some serious arts and crafts work for the sake of sustenance of the material.

An old book handed down to me by my father, an early text on Goju Ryu Karate that was nearly seven times as old as I was when he gave it to me, comes to mind.

Not everyone has an eighty year old tome or comparable martial relic, however. Even then, technology’s advanced. With everything you can do via your cell phone these days, who even needs television anymore?

UFC 2009 - Undisputed: Featuring the lovely Forrest Griffin on the coverUFC 2009 - Undisputed: Featuring the lovely Forrest Griffin on the coverJust before this last weekend, THQ revealed 80 of the fighters that will star in the highly-anticipated, forthcoming UFC Undisputed 2009. The game will be the first of a few, in a multi-year deal struck between THQ and Zuffa. The game will be released mid-May, 2009.

Some fighters who have recently left or been dropped from the organization, as well as some of their departed stars, will surprisingly appear in the game. These stars include Andrei Arlovski, Tito Ortiz, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, Tim Sylvia, Matt Arroyo and Josh Burkman.

Notably absent from the roster line-up are Randy Couture, Dustin Hazelett, Matt Hamill, Josh Neer and Jeremy Stephens, Denis Kang, Akihiro Gono, Caol Uno and Shane Carwin.

As pictured, former UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin will grace the cover of the game in its stateside release, while current UFC Welterweight Champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre will be featured on the cover for the game’s Canadian release…. collector’s item, anyone?
