MMA Star Ricco Rodriguez is placing his UFC belt that he won by defeating Randy Couture up for sale on Ebay. The 30-year-old former champ is selling the belt to raise money for a new MMA academy.
This is the information on ebay!!
The ultimate collectable 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. Its 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.
The winning bidder will also be given an autographed picture of the belt on ricco. This is the ufc belt, its a few years old and has some small scratches and the leather has some fade to it. Everyone that has ever seen it has had to get a picture in it!
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. He want to teach people what he's learned in the octagon , ring, and mats, and needs as much capital as possible to get it done right. And he would rather just win another down the road!! It currently is displayed on a shelf in my office, but would look incredible if mounted in a glass display!

thanks for all the inquiries. For any disbelievers out there, this is the belt, not a reproduction. As i am in daily contact with the belts owner/winner ricco rodriguez, any needed verification can be provided to the bidder. Understand, we want verification of ability to pay. Don't ask if you don't have 30k to spend. Shipping is included any where in the world, after funds are secured.

To anyone that is considering bidding, i have been asked to add a few simple items to the auction to verify the belts authenticity, and am providing my personal contact info to anyone able to make this purchase. We can call ricco together if needed. He is currently training for a fight on jan. 12Th (wco against mike kyle)and is not sitting home next to his picture collection! Thanks again for the massive response!!
Update..Now that so many people have contacted ricco, i think the belts authenticity is no longer in question. We do ask that you please contact me for now on regarding belt questions, as it is distracting his training. He wants to win, and constant phone calls are keeping him from focusing. Please...If you are serious, and you can afford it, contact me by email at
