Ilia Topuria 2024 Topps Midnight UFC #82: the base card and every parallel
Card #82 is Ilia Topuria's base card in the first Topps Midnight UFC, the 2024 edition, and here it is in full: we have catalogued 10 versions of that number, from the base to the Black Light 1/1, with the promo and the official odds of every colour. 10 have a photo of the actual copy.
Front: Ilia Topuria standing, facing forward, with a pink glow around his figure, blue rings behind and mountains at his feet; at the bottom, “Midnight” and “Ilia Topuria | Featherweight”, per the photo of our copy.
Back: with his height and weight (5'7" and 145 lbs) and the “Featherweight” class, it says three of his first four UFC wins came by knockout, two of them in the first round, and that he headlined his first event at UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Topuria on June 24, 2023, winning by unanimous decision. Per the photographed back of our copy.
The same design in every colour; in our list each parallel carries in brackets the colour you see on the card: green Morning, pink Twilight, orange Dusk, aqua holo Moonrise, purple Midnight and gold Daybreak. The base has no colour name: the official sheet calls it just “Base Cards”, even though its glow is pink and aqua.
Which box the 2024 Midnight #82 comes from
The first UFC Midnight came out on May 15, 2024: a box is one 7-card pack with 3 autographs, 12 boxes per case, at $299.99 in the Topps presale and $319.99 on release day, per Checklist Insider, a secondary source, which adds that each box has just one base card. One pack is one box: per-pack odds are per-box odds.
The #82 ladder: odds and print runs, colour by colour
No Zodiac: that parallel is not on the 2024 sheet; it first appears on the 2025 one.
The #82 promo
Our list includes a Promo of #82, with the same design. The odds sheet does not mention it because it is not a pack pull: per Checklist Insider, a secondary source, promos covering most of the base set were handed out at the Topps Industry Conference, with a reported print run of 15 copies. Topps has not published that figure and our catalogue gives it no print run.
How scarce the #82 is, in numbers
Any fighter's Black Light 1/1 falls once every 262 boxes, per the official sheet: the toughest of the three base Black Lights (1:196 in 2025, 1:198 in 2026). Ilia Topuria's in particular, once every 26,200 boxes, about 2,183 cases of 12: our estimate, assuming an even spread across the 100.
The Moon Beam falls 1:6, far more often than in 2025 (1:24) or 2026 (1:14): compared with the numbered parallels on the same sheet, around 45 copies per fighter. That is our estimate, assuming the sheet spreads copies in proportion to the print run.
