Ultimate Fighting Championship comes to the New Zealand Mint’s Chibi range with five fighters making the transition

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, hosting competitive events worldwide. Established in 1993, the UFC has become the pinnacle of MMA, showcasing elite fighters from various disciplines. Fighters compete in a caged octagon, employing a combination of striking and grappling techniques. The UFC has gained global popularity for its intense, unpredictable bouts, across multiple weight classes, including heavyweight to strawweight, and champions are crowned in each division. UFC events often draw significant pay-per-view audiences, and create big stars of their best fighters.

Five of them have been given the numismatic honour of being Chibified, and join the New Zealand Mint’s copious selection of issues in this format. All are in the most numerous one-ounce format, and all keep up the practice of having 10% of the 2,000 mintage done in a fully gilded style. The boxes are sealed, so you won’t know what version you will get until it’s opened. All are available now, and will shortly be added to our huge guide to the series.
