With UFC 104 right around the corner and Strikeforce coming to town, we’re going to take a look at what’s hot in the world of MMA gear in clothing. Machida, Shogun, Fedor, Tapout’s “The Ultimate Fighter” and Topps — yes, Topps — are all the rage right now.

Lyoto Machida



Is there anyone out there that does not like this guy? He has a huge fanbase. Being undefeated and the UFC Light-Heavyweight champ will do that for you.

Shogun Rua

Shogun gear is flying off the racks. His comeback to the UFC has been brilliant. He earned “Fight of the Night” honors against Mark Coleman and “KO of the Night” against Chuck Liddell. Now he’ll battle Machida for the belt.

Fedor Emelianenko

The Last Emperor will battle Brett “The Grim” Rogers right here in Chicagoland. I’m still stunned that Fedor will be fighting just minutes from my home.

TapouT/Ultimate Fighter

Tons of Ultimate Fighter gear being sold. I wonder though — who will have the most sales? Will it be Rashad or will it be Rampage? Rampage doesn’t seem to be gaining any fans these days, and Rashad is getting it done on TUF.

Topps UFC Cards

The ultimate in MMA geekery! But each box comes with a special mat card or an autographed card.
