UFC 39: Ricco Rodriguez UFC Heavyweight Belt up for sale on Ebay

The former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco "Suave" Rodriguez has put his belt up for sale on Ebay.  According to the sale, he is selling the belt to raise money for a mixed martial arts school he wants to set up. 

After Josh Barnett was tested positive for steroids, the title was stripped from him and it was all up to Ricco and Randy Couture to fight for the belt.  It was a rough battle amongst the two warriors, but Ricco was able to submit Randy via strikes in the 5th round and won the vacant UFC heavyweight title.

Here’s a snip of the Ebay auction:
