The first 5,000 fans to enter the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., for Bellator 185 will walk away with a keepsake featuring one of mixed martial arts’ most revered pioneers.

The California-based promotion announced on Wednesday that it will give away a Royce Gracie bobblehead to the first 5,000 fans in attendance for the Oct. 20 event. Additionally, fans will be able to meet Gracie from 6:30 p.m. ET to 8:30 p.m. ET on the concourse at Mohegan Sun. The giveaway is limited to ticketholders for the card and only one per person.

Gracie, a UFC Hall of Famer who won the Las Vegas-based organization’s first two tournaments, returned to the cage at Bellator 149, where he stopped rival Shamrock in the opening frame on Feb. 19, 2016.

Bellator 185 is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Gegard Mousasi and Alexander Shlemenko and airs on Spike at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.
