Midnight is Topps's after-dark line: chrome over black backgrounds and dark finishes made for the display case. From 2024, the year Ilia Topuria took the featherweight crown.
When this collection came out, on 15 May 2024, Ilia Topuria's record was 15-0, 7-0 in the UFC, and he was the featherweight champion. He was coming off a win over Alexander Volkanovski by KO at UFC 298: Volkanovski vs. Topuria, 88 days earlier, with the title on the line. His next fight was UFC 308: Topuria vs. Holloway, against Max Holloway, 164 days later: he won by KO.
What 2024 Topps Midnight UFC is
The first UFC Midnight: black chrome in a single-rip format, one 7-card pack with 3 autographs per box, on sale 15 May 2024 per Topps. Ilia Topuria is #82 of a 100-card base set.
Base #82: unnumbered Moon Beam, Morning /125, Twilight /99, Dusk /75, Moonrise /25, Midnight /12, Daybreak /5 and Black Light 1/1 (1:262 packs per the official odds sheet).
Lunar Tide #LT-3 (1:9), with a ladder up to Black Light; After Hours #AH-19 (1:64) and Dream Chasers #DC-22 (1:53), with only Daybreak /5 and Black Light 1/1.
No Ilia Topuria autograph in 2024.
What gets confused
One pack is one box: After Hours at 1:64 is one per 64 boxes.
There is no Zodiac in 2024: that parallel is born in 2025.
“Twilight” is a /99 parallel and a separate insert, as in later years.
