Most charity organizations fighting against breast cancer usually sponsor events like marathons and local rallies. However, female MMA fighters have taken a more unique approach.
MMA Underground reports that charity group “MZ & Emmers” has partnered with The Keep A Breast Foundation to host an auction selling sports bras worn by women in the MMA community.
‘Not just any bras, mind you, but collector’s items worn and signed by the likes of UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste and several female mixed martial artists from various promotions.
As highlighted on the fundraiser’s eBay listing, each sports bra comes with an autograph (some with a photo as well). For added ease of use, there’s also a searchable index to help bidders seek out certain items.
If you’re looking for sportswear from a specific athlete, Keep A Breast also has a partial list of participants.
As noted by MiddleEasy, Invicta FC 4 headliner Bec Hyatt is leading the fundraiser with a $325 bid on her custom sports bra, followed by UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey at a $132 bid.
Here’s the five fighters whose sportswear have received the highest bidding prices (noted at 5:00 p.m. ET):
• Bec “Rowdy” Hyatt – $325
• Ronda Rousey – $132
• Felice “Lil Bulldog” Herrig – $107
• Maureen “Baby Face” Riordan – $103
• Arianny Celeste – $79
Browsing through the list, donations have also been made by UFC 157 co-headliner Liz Carmouche, as well as top-ranked Bellator flyweight Jessica Eye, who recently defeated strawweight champion Zoila Frausto Gurgel last December at Bellator 83. Bidding ends on Jan. 6 (three days), with no returns allowed on delivery.
