Why this card matters
The earliest certified Bas Rutten autograph found anywhere. He is not on the 2009 Topps UFC Round 2 autograph checklist and not in 2010 Leaf MMA Autographs, so this December 2010 Knockout card is where his signature enters the hobby — and after it he does not sign again for a Topps product until 2024. The Special Red Ink version /15 is the one dealers name in listings.

Disputed
Only SportsCardsPro gives the card number and the parallel tiers; the Cardboard Connection product page confirms the product's autograph structure but not Rutten's number. Whether the signature is on-card or on a sticker is not stated by either source, so it is left unrecorded.
