Why this card matters

Nickal's first UFC-licensed card, a print-to-order Panini Instant card for the night he earned his UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series ('NICKAL EARNS UFC CONTRACT', Tuesday 27 September). SportsCardsPro gives the print run as 2,558. As with all Instant cards, that's an announced run, not a serial number.
