Over the end of 2010 and the start of 2011, Australia saw some of the worst flooding in its history. 35 people have been confirmed dead and over $30 billion (Australian dollars) damage was done. With the UFC returning to Australia on the 27th it offered the world’s top MMA promotion the opportunity to do some good.
An online auction has been put together in which some unique UFC items will be sold off to the highest bidder. The auction site is live and bids are being accepted.
Among the items being auctioned off are the shirts, shorts and gloves that will be worn by several fighters at UFC 127 as well as unique items such as an ultimate fan experience for the event and the actual octagon canvas from the show. Direct donations can also be made by following this link.
This is a very good thing that the UFC is doing and it certainly goes beyond simply a public relations move in a country where they will be having their second event later this month. If you have a few dollars that you can donate I urge you to take the time and make the click.
