Round 5, manufacturer of North America’s first official MMA collectable
figures, announced the line up for Series 2 of their Champions Line at a UFC celebrity studded launch event in Toronto, Canada. The event took place in the home town of Round 5’s head office and was sponsored by Yahoo! Canada , featuring guest appearances by UFC Heavyweight Champion, Randy “The Natural” Couture, and Former Lightweight Champion Sean “The Muscle Shark” Sherk, and hosted by marketing firm Pressure Creative + Design.

“We wanted to bring Sean up for the announcement as the first fighter signed to Series 2”, commented Damon Lau, President of Round 5. Lau also noted, “Coming off a big fight with BJ Penn the previous weekend, brings lots of exposure to Sean Sherk’s brand and was the perfect vehicle to announce the rest of the line up.” Also announced for series two were current UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva, and former UFC middleweight champion, Rich “Ace” Franklin.

The Champions Series 2 MMA collectable figures will be available in Fall of 2008. Series 1 collectables are currently available in Canada at Toys R’ Us, in the US at KB Toy Stores, FYE and select specialty retailers, and distributed exclusively in the UK by Made For Fighters www.made4fighters.co.uk.
