MMA collectibles is still a pretty new cottage industry. But as an old school baseball card collector, its a scene I’m paying attention to. MMA Collector is one of the few groups out there providing rare collectibles for MMA fans. They have a lot of old IFL stuff, and some really unique items, like ring canvases and fight worn shorts. With the TUF 10 finals this weekend, I thought I’d share this poster from The Ultimate Fighter 2. Signed by both coaches, as Rich “Ace” Franklin and Matt Hughes, 8x UFC Champion. Rare inscriptions from both fighters. Available from MMA Collector for $249.99

Last week Blogger ate the original MAMMA-Online layout. I hired my buddy Dr Octoroc to redo the site. It wasn’t under the best circumstances, some of you probably saw that the site was changing live. Not something I particularly like to do, because the daily visitor count went right to hell.

But after a week of struggling to get the site migrated to Bluehost, and to a WordPress backend, the site is, more or less, where it was a week and a half ago before Blogger had a stroke.

There’s nothing in the “About” page, but I’m back up to speed with updating. Which will be coming forthwith. PA Cage Fight 2 results will be up as soon as I can get a hold of them. We’ll be taking a look at Pain on Penn Street 2 and UFC: TUF Finale.

Also, keep an eye out as I’ll be posting an interview with Roxanne Modafferi. The interview was completed last week and we talk briefly about her last bout on Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers. We also talk about training in Boston and full sized Gundam mechas dotting Osaka. You’ll also learn a pretty handy Japanese phrase, because Roxy-chan, nihongono wakarimasu. Which, if I remember 8th grade Japanese correctly, either means Roxy speaks Japanese, or Roxy wasabi sauce Akahiro Gono. Could go either way.

I’ll be working on some more interviews, and hopefully some new photo sessions in the coming weeks. So tell your friends. MAMMA-Online, is back, bro.
