01

Why this card matters

His first memorabilia card: a swatch of the mat from the TUF 2 Finale, the same fight as his rookie. Falling roughly one in five packs it is not scarce in its plain form, but the Gold /88 and Red 1/1 parallels are, and the EI initials keep it hard to search for.

02

Identification

Missing a front scan. Contribute one.

  • DM- prefix, initials of both fighters (E for Evans, I for Imes).
  • Mat swatch window on the front; the back names The Ultimate Fighter 2 Finale.
  • Allender's checklist groups it under Round 1's Fight Mat / Debut Mat relic cards, not the base set.
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

The Froggers page 404s now, so only its search-result title corroborates Allender's DM-EI entry. The subset's printed name is given as 'Fight Mat Relic Cards' by Allender and as 'Mat Relic' by the dealer listing; the archive files DM- relics under the parent Round 1 set slug, as it already does for Anderson Silva's #DM-SL.
