This belt was created at the request of Frank Shamrock to commemorate his 1996 reign as champion. I wanted the design to be as close as possible to the original, even though the original was a cast belt. My technique produced a main plate that is a total of 6 mm thick which is very close to the original. The center logo is even domed. We also went with a pewter type plating to simulate the original. The nameplate is removable and the leather tooling is also true to the original. As you can tell, we are very proud of this belt!
