Get ready to rumble collectors and UFC enthusiasts alike, because the 2025 Topps Chrome UFC is back, promising to be as thrilling as a main event match inside the Octagon. Last year’s introduction of this set was like a well-landed punch, catching collectors by pleasant surprise and sending waves throughout the collecting community. Now, its sophomore season is prepared to mesmerize with an electrifying lineup of colorful parallels, splendid refractor varieties, and intriguing inserts that will leave collectors breathless and hungry for more.

Let’s step into the ring with the base set overview, where each of the 200 cards is a ticket to a front-row seat of the UFC universe. Covering the creme de la creme of both men’s and women’s divisions, the checklist is as thick as Joe Rogan’s excitement at a heavyweight clash. Thirty-four different refractor parallels ensure that no two collecting experiences are alike; it’s a kaleidoscope that beckons collectors to chase rainbows with abundant colors destined to catch the eye and captivate the mind. While some refractors are as elusive as an Anderson Silva head kick, others are generously sprinkled throughout the myriad box types available for every kind of collector.

Autographs, the crown jewels of this set, are front and center like an adrenaline-pumping main card fight. Each hobby box guarantees two autographs, and these aren’t your typical “cheesy 80s movie” types, either. We’re talking about six distinct autograph sets that are more diverse than an undercard. Rookies and veterans shine across the Chrome Rookies (1:11 packs) and Chrome Veterans (1:97 packs) sets, while Future Stars (1:204 packs), Octagon Legends (1:347 packs), and the profoundly prestigious Mark of a Champion (1:792 packs) keep the stakes high.

These autographs come embellished with a bouquet of numbered refractor parallels, adding that extra panache. Collectors, prepare to revel in the lustrous hues of Green (/99), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5), and the holy grail for autograph hunters: Superfractors (1/1). Rookies and veterans also enjoy the shimmering spotlight with traditional Refractors (/199), and rookies get extra love via Blue Refractor parallels (/150). Some sets like to show off with classy Geometric Refractors, adding a sophisticated twist that could leave one “tappin’ out” in sheer delight.

Now, what’s an explosive set without some striking inserts? Not just a supporting act, these inserts weave intricate stories into the fabric of UFC at large, and 2025 Topps Chrome UFC delivers them in droves. With nearly two dozen insert sets up for grabs, collectors are likely to feel like kids in a candy store. Common inserts such as Tale of the Tape (1:5), 1955 Topps (1:5), and Mission Control (1:7) come with plenty of refractor parallel options, while more spirited pulls like Big Ticket (1:40) and Fists of Fury (1:48) offer an engaging chase.

Need a greater challenge? Then take on the tougher inserts, where Kings and Queens (1:72) stands alone with exclusive 1/1 Superfractor parallels, and the likes of Bezerker (1:144) and Radiating Rookies (1:288) push your collecting prowess to the limit. For those opening value and mega boxes, special insert sets such as Allen & Ginter and Titan – a notorious case hit – add another layer of intrigue with their colorful refractor options.

With such an array on offer, a frenzy will ensue among collectors eager to bust open packs. Each hobby box thoughtfully packs 8 cards per pack, with mega boxes offering just as much excitement in 6 packs per box, while value blasters impart their own sense of discovery in 6 packs, too. As the bell rings on June 27, 2025, expect collectors to rush the “digital” gates as eagerly as fans at a live fight night. Whether you’re aiming to lay claim to those luminous refractors, snap up iconic fighter signatures, or simply bask in the glory of your favorite UFC legends rendered in cardboard, the 2025 Topps Chrome UFC set is poised to deliver a year more striking than a Chuck Liddell overhand right.
