Step into the octagon, or at least pretend you’re there with the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC set, a collector’s dream that delivers an adrenaline rush only comparable to the real fights. Back for its second year running, the collection is designed to make fans punch-drunk with excitement as they unbox card after card of dynamic thrills. This time around, Topps isn’t pulling any punches, throwing in a knockout selection of autographs and relics guaranteed to send you into a collection frenzy faster than a Conor McGregor windmill kick.
Each hobby box is armed with four packs, each packing eight cards within, and brace yourself: each pack is either brimming with an autograph or offering a piece of memorabilia. That’s a steady rhythm of three autographs per box and one delectable memorabilia card to sweeten the pot. Whether you’re a collector searching for that signature touch or simply after the thrill of the chase, this collection keeps you on your toes with tantalizing ease. Like a good UFC bout, the excitement doesn’t let up.
The base checklist hovers around a hundred fighters, making it a veritable who’s who of the UFC world. Splashes of color adorn the base run, with twelve captivating parallels to hunt. Among these, the new Black and White and Lime Green designs stand out, echoing the fresh uniqueness of your favorite brawler’s fight kit. The color spectrum is vast: from Bronze to 199, moving to Gold at 188, with Holo Silver dancing to 125, hitting Lime Green at just 99, all the way down to Blue to 50, Red at 25, leaving us breathless with Black to 10. The dazzling Holo Gold shines at 8, while Emerald dares at 5, and the exclusive Platinum claims its throne as a solitary one of one. With such a diverse array, collectors can build vibrant rainbows without feeling like they’re chasing a phantom.
Autographs form the pulsating heart of this card collection, the lifeblood coursing through its cardboard veins. Standard signatures debut with four striking parallels, shaded blue at a balanced 50, dipped in red at an uncanny 25, crowned gold at a bold 8, while Platinum stands as the one of one with pride. These signatures find homes across evocative themes such as Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact—a blend that carries the spirit of the sport itself. A second tier ropes in tighter numbers—Red, Gold, and Platinum—on exclusive AKA Ink, Lasting Impact, and 2012 Throwback Signatures, each capped at a courageous 99.
The artistic curiosity of Collageagraphs is unparalleled, capturing multiple fighting angles within a single frame, capped again at 99, with a dramatic flash of Gold and Platinum for the particularly discerning eye. Multi-signed cards are the scaling alps, where Dynamic Dual Autographs, Triumphant Trios, and Quad Autograph Booklets await as the summits of memorability, each numbered to less than 25, illustriously leading down to as low as 10. These are the cards that legends are made of.
Ink spills over into the realm of memorabilia, where genuinely exciting cards like Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Fight Mat Relics invite collectors to thumb over pieces of the octagon itself, each numbered to a thrilling 199 or fewer. Encounters with these relics reveal Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and singular Platinum detailing, catering to those with an eye for tangible history. The sought-after UFC Champions Autograph Relic Booklet and the Bad Blood-stirring Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet push the signed memorabilia experience to new storytelling heights, each numbered to an exhilarating 10.
For those desiring non-autographed relic delights, the spread glistens across five distinctive sets, embracing textures present in Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, Fight Mat Relics, All In Relics, and Knockout Relics. Each of these are evenly numbered to 175 or less, mimicking the autograph relics’ luxe Blue, Red, Gold, and Platinum parallels.
A new fragrance scents the air as inserts get an exhilarating refresh, flairting under names like Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and Fight DNA, each adding dimensions of intrigue with parallel colors ranging from the frequent Lime Green down to the monumental Platinum. A unique addition, Inception, grants itself a sharply defined color trio: Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one of one again marks its exclusive territory.
Curate this vibrant canvas yourself, and within each box find three autographs and a relic, four packs per box, eight cards per pack, and a sensationally engaging base run. Whether you’re enamored by on-card signatures, mesmerized by multi-signed showpieces, easily captured by encased fight-used material, or delightfully surprised by new inserts, every card promises an addition worth a second look. As you open each pack, expect the unexpected, and within these cardboard walls, touch the resolute glory of the octagon.
