I'm a big fan of the UFC and this item was a must. After seeing it on the Ultimate Fighter I knew I had to have one myself. It fits perfectly around my neck and hangs down right where I want it. I measured it myself and the rope part (real leather) is 28 inches long and the medallion itself is 1 1/2 inches all around and about a 1/2 centimeter thick. Very nice and sturdy. Has a brushed metal look to it. Its a lot darker than the picture makes it seem. Also, it came in this great carrying case and with a small poster of UFC 129.
