2025 Topps Chrome UFC Blue Wave Refractor Ilia Topuria #43 /75
The Blue Wave Refractor version of Ilia Topuria's Topps Chrome UFC #43, from 2025: only 17 of the 35 versions of its number are scarcer. It is a base parallel, from his fourth year with cards. Print run limited to 75 numbered copies. According to Topps, a card of this parallel, of any fighter, came 1 in every 42 packs of a Hobby box. With 200 cards in its section, Ilia Topuria's own comes, by our estimate, 1 in every 8,400 packs. That parallel is 21 times harder to pull than the Negative Refractor. We have confirmed 11 sales of it; the latest on 26 June 2026. There is 1 graded copy: 1 by PSA.
What the back says
Ilia Topuria has a deep self-trust that has fueled his success in UFC. “There is something different when you prove to yourself that, ‘Yes, I was right,’” he says. “That belief creates realities.” Topuria gave Alexander Volkanovski a reality check at UFC 298, handing the powerful fighter his first loss in the featherweight division to claim the belt. It was the fourth straight bout in which Topuria claimed a post-fight bonus.
