In the world of trading cards, the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC emerges like a seasoned fighter entering the octagon, ready to deliver knockout hits straight out of the box. This set returns for a second consecutive year, cementing its reputation for providing collectors and fighting aficionados with a feast of autographs and memorabilia timed with perfect choreography to keep the adrenaline pumping.
Every hobby box, a treasure trove of thrills, houses four packs, each pack containing eight dazzling cards. The allure of the box lies in its promise of three autographs and one memorabilia card per box—gifts for collectors eager for their next big hit. Each case contains eight of these tantalizing boxes, creating an excitement that sparkles with every ginger peel at the edge of the foil pack.
For aficionados pricing their collections on variety and rarity, the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC doesn’t disappoint. The base set features a rich spectrum of color variants that collectors can chase like devoted fans after autographs. With 100 fighters in its checklist, the base set commits to delivering a comprehensive overview of the UFC roster. The parade of parallels, twelve in total, features newcomers like Black and White and Lime Green, with more familiar colors such as Bronze, Gold, Holo Silver, and Orange to name a few.
Fighting card enthusiasts will rise to the challenge of securing the complete ladder set: from the eminently attainable Bronze to 199 to the elusive Platinum one-of-one. This cascading rainbow of opportunities ensures collectors won’t lose interest, a calculated attempt to turn the mundane into a vibrant tapestry of possibilities.
Autographs, the scintillating spotlight-stealers in this set, are indispensable collectibles that collectors covet. With a splendid array of themes, the autographs come with four parallels—Blue, Red, Gold, and the ultimate Platinum one-of-one—gracing compelling categories like Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact. The layers deepen with signature styles, like AKA Ink, Lasting Impact, and 2012 Throwback Signatures, which offer collectors a gamut of nostalgic and striking card design options, designed to turn fleeting moments into enduring masterpieces.
For those who dare to dream of opulence, Collageagraphs integrate multiple dynamic photos, capped at a limited 99 with Gold and Platinum parallels, offering a painter’s palette of fighter images. And for the daring heavyweight collectors, multi-signed cards extend the horizon—the Dynamic Dual Autographs pair fighters with numbers of 25 or fewer, while Triumphant Trios and Quad Autograph Booklets boast 10 or fewer, promising scarcity and stories.
An arsenal of ink emerges in memorabilia too. The collection features unique dual relic autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Autographed Fight Mat Relics, each with parallel structures adaptable to different collection styles, numbered to 199 or fewer.
Enthusiasts won’t just wrangle for autographs alone. Non-autographed relics, emerging once per box, span across themes like Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, and the intriguing Fight Mat Relics. Incorporating the textures of battle, these cards create intimate connections with the octagon’s physicality, and with parallels up to Platinum, they keep collectors engaged at every turn.
In the realm of inserts, freshness gives fans a little extra to chew on with five exclusive additions: Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and the audacious Fight DNA. Each insert ups the ante with a parallel structure rivaled only by the best ring side battles, with prisms from Lime Green to Platinum one-of-ones.
In a nutshell, the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC delivers an engaging experience with a guarantee: three autographs, a relic per box, with character spread through four packs per box—each containing a spectrum of colored parallels. With each box not only populated with cards but bursting with potential, this release resides at the crossroads of sports dedication, collectible passions, and the sheer sporty spectacle that is the UFC universe, all packaged in foil for the ultimate collector’s cage fight.
