Offered for scholarship fundraising is the rare and highly collectible “Big Boy Roy” limited-edition art print from the legendary Trash Talkin’ Kids (TTK) collection that debuted at the inaugural UFC Fan Expo during the historic UFC 100 weekend in Las Vegas.
This humorous and unmistakable caricature celebrates MMA fan favorite Roy Nelson during one of the most memorable eras in mixed martial arts history. The artwork parodies vintage Garbage Pail Kids-style trading cards while capturing Roy Nelson’s larger-than-life personality, signature beard, famous belly, and reputation as one of the sport’s most beloved heavyweights.
The image depicts “Big Boy Roy” triumphantly serving a tower of burgers while standing over a battered opponent, a playful nod to the humor and larger-than-life storytelling that made the Trash Talkin’ Kids series an instant hit among UFC fans.
