Evangelista Santos made his final appearance inside the PRIDE ring in 2006, and he’s now auctioning his unique trophy for a good cause.
“Cyborg” released a video on social media to announce his PRIDE trophy is for sale on eBay, and all proceeds will help people affected by the coronavirus pandemic in his hometown Rondonopolis, Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Santos (21-18) won the trophy after submitting Yosuke Nishijima in less than four minutes at PRIDE: Final Conflict Absolute on Sept. 10, 2006. The starting bid is $1,000, and the auction ends on Friday afternoon.
The retired MMA fighter competed as a professional between 1997 and 2016, including appearances at Pancrase, Cage Rage, Sengoku, Strikeforce and Bellator.
