Get ready to lace up those collecting gloves because the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC set is here to shake things up in the world of sports card collecting. As the latest installment in the Knockout series, this year’s release promises to deliver a heady mix of autographs, dazzling colors, and enough thrilling surprises to satisfy even the most ardent UFC aficionado.
Scheduled for release on October 10, 2025, each hobby box boasts a tantalizing prospect for collectors: a total of three autographs and one memorabilia card across four packs filled with eight cards apiece. It’s a formula poised to keep collectors on the edge of their seats, as they navigate the promise of vibrant parallels and hard-to-find signatures.
With this new release, Topps has really embraced the rainbow, offering no fewer than twelve different parallels, each providing its own unique twist on the base cards. Among the novelties, collectors will find the stark contrast of Black and White and the zing of Lime Green. The full chromatic journey will have collectors chasing parallels that range from Bronze, numbered to 199, to the coveted Platinum one-of-one. This expansive spectrum means that player collectors can craft truly impressive collections that showcase their dedication without delving into a labyrinth of scarcity.
But the true heart of the Knockout series has always been its autographs, and on that score, 2025 is no slouch. The set includes the Knockout Autographs, Fearless Fighter Signature, Octagon Warriors, and Full Contact series, each with parallel versions like Blue to 50, Red to 25, Gold to 8, and Platinum one-of-one. Innovation is the spice here, with designs like Collageagraphs layering multiple photos into a single card—a veritable homage to the dynamic spirit of the UFC.
Upper-tier autograph designs are the showstoppers in this pack. Here, collectors will find Dynamic Dual Autographs numbered to 25 or fewer, Triumphant Trios Autographs capped at 10, and the decadent Quad Autograph Booklets which bring together four signatures in a compact yet awe-inspiring format. These treasures are tailor-made for the collector who seeks to showcase showstopping signatures at their finest.
Equally noteworthy are the memorabilia cards that transcend mere scraps of the past. The Tier One Dual Relic Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, and Autographed Fight Mat Relics interweave autograph and artifact with aplomb, each limited to 199 or fewer. Topping these relics are two particularly notable booklets—the UFC Champions Autograph Relic Booklet and the Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet, both numbered to a mere 10, offering a collector’s dream of top-level sport and skill memorabilia.
The relics that don’t boast autographs nonetheless retain their allure. Featured sets such as Combo Relics, Momentous Materials, and Fight Mat Relics, all capped at 175 or fewer, still appeal to those who appreciate tangible connections to their favorite fighters while keeping the ever-important element of rarity intact.
But the set’s ingenuity doesn’t stop at autographs and memorabilia. The insert selection is freshened up with five new series: Knockout Artists, Final Face Off, Ferocity, The Ultimate Fighter, and Fight DNA. Each injects a little extra punch into each pack, their colorful parallels offering dazzling sights from Lime Green to Platinum one-of-one. Just to keep things even more intriguing, there’s the Inception series, with its exclusive, tighter-run Red to 25, Gold to 8, and the ever-desirable Platinum.
Despite its abundant offerings and complex chase hierarchy, the 2025 Topps Knockout UFC set is nothing if not approachable for collectors of all levels. With the potential to unearth three autographs, a treasured relic, and a kaleidoscope of base card colors, each hobby box is designed with the aim of making every pack feel like a standout experience, a promise that should keep collectors eagerly returning whenever the next bell rings.
