Ladies and gentlemen, fight aficionados and card collectors alike, prepare to be delighted and perhaps knocked off your feet by the magnificent showcase that is the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC set. With a one-two punch of dazzling design and superior content, this latest offering promises to pack a punch strong enough to leave you thirsting for more.
Topps Knockout UFC has returned for its second consecutive year, and it’s as though the series spent its off-season training with a purpose. With a slated release for October 10, 2025, this set boasts hobby boxes that contain four packs of eight cards each. Hold onto your fight gloves, because each pack promises a choice cut of either an autograph or a memorabilia card. You’re guaranteed three autographs and one memorabilia card per box, a rousing symphony of ink and fabric to keep your pulse quickening and your breaks anything but mundane.
The base checklist covers approximately one hundred fighters, introducing a vibrant spectrum of colors to the fold. With a staggering twelve parallels to collect, this year’s set introduces two intriguing new shades: Black and White, and Lime Green, joining the existing ranks of vivaciousness. Chase the hues from Black and White, Bronze to 199, all the way through to the elusive one of one Platinum, each incremental step a part of a chromatic ladder bridging collectors to card collecting nirvana.
Autographs sit at the heart of this product, signifying the heartbeat in its chest. The most common signatures boast enduring appeal with parallels in Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and the admirable, often unattainable, Platinum one of one. These illustrious signatures canvas themes such as Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact—cocktails of ink and glory as thrilling as the matches from which they derive inspiration.
Craving more complexity in your card conquests? Enter Collageagraphs—multiple photos melded into an irresistible format, bestowing depth and dimension. With Gold parallels numbered to 8 and Platinum one of one, they offer a compelling narrative to each card, a visual chronicle of martial artistry. And if you’re the kind who has never known restraint, the multi-signed cards like Dynamic Dual Autographs, Triumphant Trios, and the eye-popping Quad Autograph Booklets are crafted to satisfy even the most luxuriant of desires.
Ink seeps into the memorabilia with Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and those mosaic dreams known as Autographed Fight Mat Relics, each carrying bold parallels to 199 or fewer. Additionally, exclusive booklet formats like UFC Champions Autograph Relic and the Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet, both numbered to a mere 10, exist at the pinnacle of this category, truly weaponizing the magic of ink and cloth.
Not everything hits with a signature, though, and non-autographed relics make their statement once in every box. From Combo Relics to the textured intrigue of Fight Mat Relics, these sets lean into varying textures and tactile delight. Numbered to 175 or fewer with the steadfast parallel structure, they remind us of the beauty of diversity and excellence in simplicity.
In perhaps the card world’s answer to recess (but with a type-A personality), inserts receive a revamp, introducing fresh names to stir excitement. Titles like Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, and the revered The Ultimate Fighter promise a varied experience. Each insert line brings its hierarchy of limited parallels adding color and flair to what could easily be humdrum.
For the card collector on the go wanting to simmer it all down, here’s your takeaway punchline: Each hobby box gives you three autographs, one relic, four action-packed packs, and colors galore. This repertoire is an exhilarating medley of on-card signatures, enchanting multi-signed centerpieces, nostalgic fight-used materials, and novel inserts that keep you flipping through packs with fervor, seeking that next eye-catching, heart-thumping, must-have addition to your cherished card collection. Prepare to be wowed, weary collectors; 2025 Topps Knockout UFC is poised to showcase the beautiful brutality of the ultimate fighting universe like never before.
