Randy Couture, former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, auctioned his Hummer on eBay recently, and didn’t have all the success in the world the first time around.

Couture put his 2006 black Hummer on the block on November 12, and received one offer - for $69,999. Bidding ended on November 22 and according to the eBay listing, the reserve price (i.e., in this case the pre-established minimum price Couture would accept) was not met.

According to the vehicle description posted by Couture on eBay, “This H2 is a one of a kind custom made H2 Hummer that Randy took home after coaching the first season of The Ultimate Fighter show (TUF).” It is also described on the website as a “UFC Edition.” The amenities that were determined to be especially appealing to the UFC fan was a sound system “that can be heard blocks away with a deep bass that can bump,” which would seem to rule out most bidders from retirement communities.

Part of the sale price was set to go to Couture’s GI Foundation (www.xtremecouturegifoundation.org ), a 501(c)3 non-profit which is designed to offer support of all kinds for veterans of America’s armed forces.

The vehicle, which also has a black interior, features a wide variety of options, including automatic transmission, a sunroof, leather seats, cassette and CD players, four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger airbags, side airbags, cruise control, power door locks, windows and seats, navigation apparatus, advanced security system and On-Star. It has been stolen and recovered twice.

Reportedly the Hummer had been given to Couture by Dana White, the president of the UFC. Considering Couture’s ongoing legal dispute with the UFC, in which he has left the organization, explains why he wants to get rid of it.
