The Chevrolet Camaro->ke248 bug has bitten the UFC - that's Ultimate Fighting Championship, in case you didn't know. The mixed martial arts organization has teamed up with Findlay Customs and Modern Muscle Las Vegas to produce 10 limited-edition UFC Camaros, proving that Chevy's muscle car's growing reach of influence has moved past the auto industry.

The 10 limited-edition UFC Camaros will come with a 650 horsepower super-charged engine, leather seats that bear a striking similarity to UFC fight gloves, a custom audio system, custom wheels, UFC badges, and a paint scheme featuring the colors of the UFC: black, red, and silver.

“Our troops make incredible sacrifices every day for our country,” said Dana White, UFC President. “Auctioning off the very first UFC Camaro for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is just another way to continue our support, and show the men and women of the armed forces how much we appreciate their service.”

In addition to going home with one of 10 limited-run UFC Camaros, not to mention, donating what is expected to be a sizable bid for the car to the IFHF, the winning bidder will also get the chance to experience first-hand what the UFC is all about with an unforgettable UFC experience that includes, among other things, an inaugural drive with UFC President Dana White, backstage VIP access at a UFC event, meet and greets with UFC fighters, an autographed limited-edition OCTAGON book, UFC gear, and much, much more.
