THE ULTIMATE UFC 127 AUCTION – FIGHT FOR QUEENSLAND - BID NOW
THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP LAUNCHES CHARITY AUCTION OF
INCREDIBLE COLLECTORS ITEMS AND A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME FAN EXPERIENCE TO
AID THE QUEENSLAND PREMIER’S DISASTER RELIEF APPEAL IN AUSTRALIA
As the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Australia for the record-breaking UFC 127: PENN v FITCH event in Sydney on February 27, the world’s biggest combat sports organisation wants to give back to Australians by raising money for the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.
The Appeal, set up by the Queensland government, will assist Queenslanders affected by recent flooding and Tropical Cyclone Yasi. Many communities have been devastated and some families have lost everything.
The UFC and its fighters are donating unique UFC 127 memorabilia and an unprecedented VIP experience to its Sydney show, including: • The actual Octagon canvas on which UFC 127 bouts will take place • The UFC gloves and shorts worn in the Octagon by UFC stars when they compete at UFC 127 • An ultimate Aussie UFC 127 experience where the winner and a mate will have unprecedented behind-the-scenes access and VIP treatment during the UFC 127 weekend – Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 February.
Marshall Zelaznik, the UFC’s Managing Director of International Development, said: “Australia has been really great to the UFC, especially since we started holding live events there a year ago. I don’t think anyone who has seen the footage from the recent natural disasters in Australia could fail to be moved by what the people of Queensland are going through, and we as a company want to do our bit to help.”
Please note bidding for the Ultimate UFC 127 Experience pack ends at 7pm AEST (Sydney time) on Tuesday, February 22. Bidding for the merchandise items – which can be shipped worldwide – ends March 1 (AEST).
