You don’t have to give a rear naked chokehold to the DMV employee to get yourself a UFC specialty plate at your local Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles office.
Just pay $61 for a UFC car plate.
The Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts fight promoter, which back in the day couldn’t even get on TV and was outlawed in New York for a very long time, now has a UFC car plate for Nevada motorists.
A UFC media release said the plate is available for sale at all Nevada DMV locations starting Wednesday.
The plate features UFC’s logo in its primary red colors, along with the phrase, “Home of UFC,” against a black background.
UFC has been around since 2001 and sold for more than $4 billion in 2016.
“We’re thrilled to launch our UFC specialty license plate program, which we believe will become a source of pride for our statewide fanbase, as a portion of their registration and renewal fees will go towards supporting local charities throughout the state of Nevada,” UFC Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Epstein said in the release.
Nevada residents who want to buy a UFC specialty license plate can make an appointment with their local DMV office by visiting dmvnv.com or by using the DMV’s Online Vehicle Registration, which allows motorists who have purchased a vehicle from a Nevada dealer to register it online without a DMV office visit.
The UFC specialty license plate can be purchased for $61, with $25 from each plate sold benefitting the not-for-profit UFC Foundation. The UFC specialty license plate can also be personalized for an additional $35 annual fee. If the vehicle is already registered, a smog check and registration renewal are not necessary.
UFC joins the Las Vegas Raiders and Las Vegas Golden Knights as the only professional sports organizations in Nevada with specialty license plates. For more information on the UFC specialty license plates, visit dmvnv.com/platescharitable.htm.
