Why this card matters

Machida's first licensed trading card, from the product that gave Topps its first UFC licence (Round 1, released February 2009). Like the rest of the Round 1 fighter run it is a UFC-debut card, pairing him with Sam Hoger from his UFC 67 decision win on 3 February 2007. It predates the card the market treats as his rookie by seven months, which is exactly the kind of split collectors argue about.
