The year 2025 greets UFC card enthusiasts with a vibrant new contender in the card-collecting arena, the Topps Knockout UFC series. Back for a second consecutive year, it’s not holding back a single punch. Each hobby box is packed with excitement, heart-pounding anticipation, and a promise of three autographs, making it a treasure trove for fight fans and collectors alike. If you’ve got an eye for the niche, a nose for rarity, and a heart for the octagon, this is the golden ticket.
Within each hobby box awaits a thrilling experience: eight adrenaline-fueled cards per pack, with four packs in each box, keeping collectors on their toes. It’s a setup that makes for an electrifying unboxing, as every crinkle of the pack holds the promise of exclusivity and high-octane action. As of October 10, 2025, eight-box cases will be hitting shelves like a champion’s uppercut, boasting a base checklist teeming with around 100 fierce fighters.
Color is no stranger to the Knockout series, serving a kaleidoscope of twelve parallels that will have collectors chasing the spectrum like moths to a flame. The lineup flaunts a newer, bolder palette with Black and White and Lime Green designs adding fresh appeal. From the foundational Black and White through the resplendent shimmer of Bronze, Gold, Holo Silver, and Lime Green, culminating in the elite exclusivity of Platinum one of one – the variation is as expansive as a championship belt.
Autographs remain the beating heart of the series—a collector’s gold, embodying both individual skill and the essence of the sport. The most abundant signatures arrive with four knockout parallels: Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and the elusive Platinum one of one. Themes such as Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact ensure each card tells its own unique story of grit and glory.
For those with a finely tuned radar for the extraordinary, a more considered and limited tier awaits. Concepts like AKA Ink and Lasting Impact, along with 2012 Throwback Signatures, offer rarities that cling tightly to their numbering, sparking a fervor among passionate collectors. But the pièce de résistance might well be the Collageagraphs, a stunning tableau of images woven into a single narrative, numbered to 99 with precious Gold to 8 and shimmering Platinum one of one parallels.
Stacking ambitions higher are the multi-signed masterpieces. Dynamic Dual Autographs, Triumphant Trios Autographs, and the grandiose Quad Autograph Booklets set collectors’ pulses racing with low-numbered exclusivity, allowing fans to literally hold UFC’s magic in their hands.
Yet it doesn’t end with ink. There’s an artistry that wraps around the memorabilia here. Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Autographed Fight Mat Relics infuse the cards with octagon authenticity, each numbered to 199 or fewer—a testament to the authenticity fans crave. The ultimate collectibles like UFC Champions Autograph Relic Booklet and Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet weave tales of battles past into tangible art, numbered to a mere 10.
Non-autographed relics find their place too, falling gracefully within boxes, unfurling across five sets such as Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, and Fight Mat Relics. Each set, numbered to 175 or fewer, challenges collectors with color parallels that confine to Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one of one.
The inserts receive a creative reboot, introducing five fresh themes: Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and Fight DNA. These intriguing additions inject variety into pack odds, layered with vibrant parallels that excite the bounty hunters of the card world. And the sophisticated Inception series joins the lineup, meticulously crafted to offer Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one of one.
So if you’re ready for the abridged version: imagine the rush of three autographs and one relic per box, four packs per box, and a color-fevered base run of depth and intrigue. Mix in on-card signatures, multi-signed showpieces, fight-used relics, and a wealth of inserts – every pack is a new adventure. Whether you’re a steadfast devotee collecting rainbows of your favorite fighters or a new fan stepping into the card colosseum for the first time, there’s something in the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC card set to keep your adrenaline levels pumping and your collector’s instincts sharp.
