Why this card matters

Machida's first certified autograph card, and it is on-card — Cardboard Connection's Round 2 review describes the Fighter Autographs subset as fighters signing 'directly on each card'. He had no autograph in Round 1, so this is where a Machida signature run starts. It was issued while he held the light heavyweight belt.

Identification

Missing a front scan. Contribute one.

  • Card #FA-LM in a 45-entry Fighter Autographs checklist that also includes FA-AS Anderson Silva, FA-JJ Jon Jones and FA-QJ Quinton Jackson
  • Signed directly on the card, not on a sticker
  • Seeded roughly 1:8 packs per nslists
Often confused with
An 'FA-LM' Machida autograph is automatically the 2009 Round 2 card.The 2010 Topps UFC Series 4 autograph checklist reuses the FA-LM code, so the year on the card back decides which one it is.
03

Disputed

Sources disagree

Collectibles.com lists a 'Topps UFC Round 2 Autographs Red Ink #FALM' parallel; nslists' Round 2 checklist shows no red-ink parallel for the Fighter Autographs subset, and no print run for it was found. Separately, Cardboard Connection's 2010 Topps UFC Series 4 checklist also lists a Machida autograph coded FA-LM, so a raw 'FA-LM' with no year attached is ambiguous between the two products.
