It only took a year and perhaps a struggling economy for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to finally distribute a version of “Octagon” that most fans can afford.
The book, which has more than 800 four-color and black-and-white photographs, was printed and hand bound in Italy, weighing over 50 pounds. It ranged in price from $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the edition.
The commercial edition, which has all the same pictures but comes in a smaller-sized book, will retail for about $40. And to kick-off the latest (and cheapest) version of “Octagon,” the promotion is putting together a nationwide awareness blitz on December 15.
Here are the details:
“Join fighters of the UFC for the release of the trade edition of Octagon book at Barnes & Noble. Fighters will sign purchased copies.”
