Rich Franklin’s UFC Hummer on Auction Block

Mixed-martial-arts fan can now own a true piece of UFC memorabilia — though it’s unlikely to fit in any trophy case.

The 2006 Hummer H2 awarded to UFC middleweight Rich Franklin after serving as a coach on the second season of “The Ultimate Fighter” is up for auction on eBay. The show, which aired on Spike TV in 2005, featured Franklin’s team versus a squad of fellow UFC hopefuls coached by Matt Hughes. .

The vehicle, which has just 10,298 miles, is listed with a starting price of $80,000. A “buy it now” price is set at $125,000. Franklin decked out the truck with a number up upgrades, including a high-end audio and video system.

The auction ends this on Sunday, March 2, at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

A portion of the sale price will be donated to the Keep in the Ring Foundation, a charity created by Franklin and American Fighter president Jeff Adler. It’s designed to advocate non-violence and build character in youth. (This is the same charity that our UFC 82 pre-parties will benefit.)

Franklin and his wife recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that they just don’t have much use for the vehicle. They plan to have lunch or dinner and spend the day with the winning bidder. He or she will also receive a bundle of Damage Wear clothing and autographed memorabilia.

UFC executives traditionally offer an end-of-season gift to each of its celebrity coaches. After the sixth season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” for example, Hughes was given a John Deere tractor and Matt Serra got a Chevy Suburban.
