The world of sports card collecting just got a thrilling new addition with the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC release. If there’s one thing fight fans love almost as much as watching their favorite athletes battle it out in the octagon, it’s the chance to own a piece of the action. And with this latest offering from Topps, collectors won’t be disappointed.
What’s in the box, you ask? Each hobby box is packed with four packs of cards, totaling eight in each, and promises some knockout punches for enthusiasts. Per box, expect to score three autographs and one memorabilia card. This setup ensures a lively break experience, with singles flowing like a river of raucous roars from the stands on a fight night.
Releasing on October 10, 2025, these collectible boxes come in cases of eight, and each one promises to be a treasure trove for memorabilia hunters and card fanatics alike. The base checklist is tracking at around one hundred fighters, each captured in stunning detail.
Color enthusiasts, brace yourselves for a spectrum that could rival a championship belt collection. With no less than twelve color parallels to hunt, collectors can chase after the new Black and White and Lime Green variants. The climb up this chromatic ladder starts at Black and White, Bronze to 199, and hurdles through Gold to 188, Holo Silver to 125, Lime Green to 99, Orange to 88, Blue to 50, Red to 25, Black to 10, Holo Gold to 8, Emerald to 5, all the way to the shimmering summit of Platinum – a coveted one of one.
While the base set shines, autographs steal the show in this series. They’re the beating heart of this card collection, pulsing with promise and possibility. The standard signatures come with four parallels, ranging from Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, to Platinum, which is, of course, the ultimate one of one. These appear under various themes such as Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact, each resonating like a rich bell tone across the martial spectrum.
For those with a penchant for the rare and exceptional, tighter tiers bring numbers down, offering Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one of one on AKA Ink, plus Lasting Impact and 2012 Throwback Signatures, each numbered to 99. There’s a visual feast awaiting with Collageagraphs, marrying multiple fighter photos into a single design, capped at 99 with Gold to 8 and Platinum one of one parallels. Ample excitement lies in the cards that raise the stakes: Dynamic Dual Autographs spotted to 25 or fewer, the dramatic flair of Triumphant Trios Autographs at 10 or fewer, and the impressive Quad Autograph Booklets at 10.
But let’s not forget, ink isn’t the only allure – memorabilia entwines expertly with signatures. Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Autographed Fight Mat Relics all appear crowned by parallels of Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and again, Platinum one of one. At the top, prestigious booklet formats like the UFC Champions Autograph Relic Booklet and Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet, both captivating at numbers down to 10.
Relics that aren’t autographed mingle in too, appearing once in every box across five themed sets, each lending different textures to the mix. Collectors can eagerly unwrap 1 to 2 Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, Fight Mat Relics, All In Relics, and Knockout Relics, each with that familiar comforting structure of numbering to 175 or fewer and shadowed by Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and the one and only Platinum.
As for inserts, fresh life breathes into the lineup with Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and Fight DNA sparking intrigue and odds variance. Each one offers parallels with Lime Green to 99, Blue to 50, Red to 25, Black to 10, Gold to 8, Emerald to 5, and the ever-elusive Platinum. Meanwhile, Inception carves its own niche, presented with a tighter collection of Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one of one.
In essence, Topps has delivered a star-studded event in every box – an engaging storyline complete with variable characters, climactic surprises, and enough color to dazzle the most jaded spectator. By encapsulating such vivid artistry and the sheer thrill of UFC, this year’s Knockout release stands ready to punch through the clutter, land enthusiastically on the collector’s shelf, and capture imaginations in a mighty, triumphant grip.
