Why this card matters
Donruss beat Topps to Evans by a year. Ring Kings was a 30-card combat-sports insert inside Americana II, and Evans's card is serial-numbered to 500 with a Directors Cut version numbered to 100. It is the only Evans card that predates the Topps UFC licence, which makes it the piece a first-card collector has to decide about.
Identification
Own this card? Contribute a scan.
- Coded RK-RE on the card: the Ring Kings insert numbers every card with RK- plus the fighter's initials.
- Ring Kings is a 30-card combat-sports insert inside Americana II, not part of the base set; each card is serial numbered to 500 on the back, with a Directors Cut version numbered to 100.
- Americana II carries no UFC marks; Evans is shown in generic fight imagery.
- Jeff Allender's checklist orders the insert 1–30 and places Evans sixth, so some listings and checklists render the card as Ring Kings '6'. It is the same card.
| The card is Americana II #6. | It is Ring Kings #RK-RE, an insert numbered to 500. The '6' comes from Jeff Allender's 1–30 ordering of the insert, not from the card, and Americana II's base set has its own separate #6. |
| A /500 Ring Kings Evans is an autograph. | Evans appears in no Ring Kings Signature or Signature Material subset. The /500 card is an unsigned insert; the Directors Cut version numbered to 100 is the only parallel. |

Two things are unsettled. The card number: Allender lists Evans as Ring Kings 6, while the archive's other Americana II Ring Kings entries and confirmed eBay copies (Gina Carano RK-GC) use RK- plus initials, which would make his RK-RE — no source consulted showed RK-RE, so the checklist number is recorded as given rather than guessed. Autograph status: Allender explicitly says Evans is not in any Ring Kings Signature or Signature Material subset, but an eBay seller titled a /500 copy 'Ring Kings Autograph'. Recorded here as an unsigned insert, matching the checklist and the /500 Ring Kings cards already in the archive.
