Ilia Topuria 2025 Topps Stadium Club UFC #23: the paper and Chrome base cards with every parallel
Card #23 of 2025 Topps Stadium Club UFC is Ilia Topuria's base card in Topps' photography set, and it exists twice: on paper and in chrome, as #C-23. Here they are together, with their whole rainbow: we have catalogued 28 versions of both, from the paper base to the Gold Rainbow Foil 1/1 and from the Chrome to the SuperFractor 1/1. 27 have a photo of the actual copy.
Ilia Topuria is #23 in the base set of 2025 Topps Stadium Club UFC, and the official Topps checklist repeats it in chrome as #C-23, in the “Base Cards I Chrome Variation” section. That is 200 paper cards (Base Cards I and II) and another 200 in Chrome. This page brings the two together because they are the same card on two stocks; the whole set, with its inserts and autographs, is on its own page.
Front: a horizontal, full-bleed, borderless photo of an exchange of strikes in the Octagon, as Stadium Club does it; running vertically, his name on a red banner and “Lightweight”.
Back, the same text on both: a portrait with the belt and a text recalling that through his first eight UFC fights he ranked fifth all-time among featherweights for least bottom-position time (one minute, 25 seconds), and his third-round knockout of Max Holloway at UFC 308 on 26 October 2024, which retained the featherweight title and earned his fourth Performance of the Night bonus in five fights. We read it on the photographed backs of our #23 and #C-23 copies.
