Bryce Harper asked for (and received) a UFC title belt
When Bryce Harper sees something he wants, he goes and gets it -- whether it's home plate, a flying baseball, or even a decorative belt.
And so, with his colleagues receiving WWE belts for winning the Cy Young Awards in their respective leagues, Harper (aka The Joker) took to Twitter to ask for such a belt of his own:
I need to get a belt, everybody has WWE ones, I want a @UFC one! Anyway we can make that happen? @danawhite @joerogan @lorenzofertitta

Sure enough, UFC responded -- with a small request:
@Bharper3407 Only if you promise to hit a home run while wearing the UFC belt ;). Seriously we'll send you one if you send us a pic with it!

One to which Harper happily agreed:
@ufc that's a no brainier! I'll hit a homerun in BP with it on!

And, sure enough ...
.@Bharper3407 trains like a champ in the offseason. Look forward to seeing you hit a HR w/ the belt on, Bryce! @MLB pic.twitter.com/JL8gMVe0px
