The 2025 Topps Knockout UFC is like a fiery roundhouse kick in the world of sports card collecting, delivering a robust three autographs per hobby box, cementing its stature as a favorite among UFC devotees and collectors alike. Back for a second year, this knockout offering doesn’t pull its punches, ensuring collectors get a face full of engaging content from the very first pack they open. With each hobby box hosting four packs, and each pack containing eight cards, fans are treated to either an autograph or a relic card with every rip. Dance through this well-orchestrated rhythm of three autographs and one memorabilia card per box, and you’ll find yourself in a collector’s utopia with lively pack breaks and an influx of singles that anyone with a passion for UFC can appreciate.
Scheduled for a grand reveal on October 10, 2025, these collector cases march eight boxes at a time, promising a base checklist that sprawls across about a hundred fighters. What better way to get to know the octagon’s heroes and legends than through a cascading spectrum of color? The base set is a kaleidoscope of twelve parallels ranging from the stark contrasts of Black and White to the electric vibrancy of Lime Green. For those who cherish the art of building rainbows, this collection serves as a charismatic playground that won’t lead you astray, offering Bronze to 199, Gold to 188, Holo Silver to 125, among others, all the way down to the elusive Platinum one-of-one. It’s an invitational spectrum for passionate player collectors looking to chase their heroes in a sea of creativity.
Autographs, however, are the true champions of this collection. Touted as the lifeblood of the product, the diversity of themes on offer makes it a veritable buffet of signatures. From Knockout Autographs and the Fearless Fighter Signature line to the enthralling Octagon Warriors and the adrenaline-pumping Full Contact, the variety appeals to every stripe of fan. Dubbed as the more bountiful of the bunch, these autograph cards come with four stunning parallels: Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and of course, Platinum one-of-one. For the die-hard fans looking for the next tier of exclusivity, cards like AKA Ink, Lasting Impact, and the nostalgic nod to 2012 Throwback Signatures reel things in tighter, with equally enticing numbering.
Multi-signed masterpieces elevate the stakes further, with Dynamic Dual Autographs numbering to 25 or fewer, Triumphant Trios to 10 or fewer, and the ultra-rare Quad Autograph Booklets capping at 10. And for those who revel in the tactile appeal of fight-used materials, memorabilia meets ink in a triumvirate that includes Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Autographed Fight Mat Relics. Even these intricately designed pieces follow the familiar Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one-of-one parallel structure, ensuring consistency across the board.
Relics without the famed ink remain no slouches, appearing once per box and spreading their beautifully textured presence across five subcollections. Here, collectors can savor the likes of Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, Fight Mat Relics, All In Relics, and the titular Knockout Relics. The parallels remain, just as dynamic and alluring, mirroring the structure seen across the other card types.
Inserts have not been left on the ropes either and get a refreshing ring entrance with five new members. Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and the intriguing Fight DNA bring a swipe of variety to pack odds that keeps collector enthusiasm at fever pitch. Then there’s the concise yet sparkling appearance of Inception, featuring a select range of parallels that maintain high desirability.
Boiling down the excitement into a quick summary, each hobby box within this decorated ensemble rains down three autographs and a relic across its four packs, accompanied by delightful odds that make every eight-card pack feel like a potent punch. Collectors will largely be impressed by this colorful installation of base cards, powered by an arsenal of on-card autographs and multi-signed sensations paired with authentic fighter memorabilia. Throw in an ample helping of new inserts, and the allure of eye-catching packaging, and the result is evident: the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC is exhilarating, ensuring that no collector walks away unimpressed. It turns every box break into a thrilling main event worthy of a championship title bout.
