With less than a week remaining in the UFC's fundraising "Ultimate Auction," the world's largest mixed martial arts promotion is still bringing items to the table.Included among the newest luxury prizes up for grabs is the complete octagon canvas from this week's "UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2" event.
Bidding for the canvas, already underway, begins at $5,000, and all proceeds benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
The online auction features bidding for several high-end prizes, including a UFC VIP Experience, a limited edition UFC Custom Camaro (No. 2 of 10) and a private training session with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture and former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin.
The auction ends Jan. 23, one day after "UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2," a special live UFC event designed to raise funds for men and women in the United States Armed Forces that have suffered traumatic brain injuries.
UFC Fight Night 23 takes place Saturday, Jan. 22 at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, and airs live on Spike TV.
Interested bidders should visit the auction's home page, where each of the items is described in further detail. Additional auctions include Dinner with the UFC's Octagon Girls, a chance to attend the season eight premiere of HBO's "Entourage," as well as several other unique experiences.
Spike TV and the UFC are partnering with the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund for this second "Fight for the Troops" show. The first event took place in Fayetteville, N.C., in December 2008 and raised more than $4 million. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund provides assistance to our nation's military heroes who have been critically injured in the performance of their duty.
