Adding some pizazz to my Round 5 figurines

August
11

When I was at the UFC 100 fan expo, the Title MMA booth was giving away little packages. The package included a magazine, an energy shot, and a muay thai kick pad key chain. I immediately thought that the key chain would be the perfect size to fit one of my Round 5 figurines.

A couple of weeks later, I attended the NY MMA expo in Uniondale, NY. A booth at that expo had a Title boxing heavy bag key chain. The wheels really started turning at this point. The Matt Hughes figurine I have is a perfect fit for the muay thai pad. It actually looks more like a kicking shield if you consider aspect ratio to a real life person, but, hey, you get the point. Randy Couture has his hands perfectly poised to hit the heavy bag, so he will be bag training for a while.

Here is the final result. I need to acquire some more Round 5 MMA toys and some extra Title Boxing/MMA key chains to complete my newly formed Inside the Octagon desktop MMA gym and fitness center.
