Ilia Topuria 2025 Topps Chrome UFC #43: the base card and every parallel
#43 is Ilia Topuria's base card in 2025 Topps Chrome UFC, and here it is with its whole rainbow: we have catalogued 35 versions of that number, from the base to the SuperFractor 1/1, with the official odds of every colour in Hobby, Breaker's Delight, Value and Mega. 35 have a photo of the actual copy.
Ilia Topuria is #43 of the 200 cards in the base set of 2025 Topps Chrome UFC, per the official Topps checklist, which splits the base set into two runs of a hundred. This page gathers every colour of that number; the full set has its own page.
Front: a horizontal card with a fight photo, Ilia Topuria squaring off with his opponent, with the division under his name: “Featherweight”.
Back: it talks about the self-belief that drove his success in the UFC and about UFC 298, where he handed Alexander Volkanovski his first featherweight loss to take the belt; it adds that it was his fourth straight fight with a bonus, per the photographed back of our copy.
One design, many finishes: every parallel repeats front and back; the chrome changes and, on numbered cards, the print run.
Which parallels come from which box
The official odds sheet has columns for Hobby, Breaker's Delight, Value and Mega (the last two with near-identical odds for their SE and EA variants). What is exclusive to each format:
Hobby: Negative Refractor (1:2), Red & Blue Refractor (1:2), Purple Refractor (1:4), OctaFractor /8 (1:285) and the FrozenFractor variation (1:455), which the official checklist lists separately as “FrozenFractor Variation”.
Breaker's Delight: the Geometric family, from the unnumbered Geometric (1:1) to the Black Geometric /2 (1:32).
Value: Sepia Refractor (1:2).
Mega: X-Fractor (1:1), Red/White/Blue Refractor /88 (1:18) and Black & Gold Refractor /8 (1:197).
Value and Mega: the RayWave family: Green (1:47), Gold (1:118), Orange (1:235), Red (1:587) and Black (1:2,918 in Value SE).
Prism Refractor comes from Hobby (1:12), Value (1:3) and Mega (1:3), not Breaker. The base card has no row on the sheet.
The core ladder: odds in Hobby · Breaker · Value · Mega
Geometric (Breaker), per the official sheet: Blue /99 at 1:1, Gold /50 at 1:2, Orange /25 at 1:3, Purple /10 at 1:7, Red /5 at 1:13 and Black /2 at 1:32.
RayWave (Value and Mega): Topps publishes their odds but not their print runs, and the secondary sources disagree. Our catalogue lists Green /125, Gold /50, Orange /25, Red /10 and Black /2, the serial numbers of the copies we have seen or recorded.
In Mega the /8 is Black & Gold; in Hobby, the OctaFractor. Two different /8s for the same #43, each in its own box.
How scarce the #43 gets, in numbers
The fewest copies belong to the SuperFractor 1/1, listed among Ilia Topuria SuperFractors; next come the /2s: Black Geometric (Breaker only) and Black RayWave (Value and Mega; /2 per our catalogue).
In 2025 the SuperFractor fell more often in Hobby than in Breaker per pack: 1:3,146 against 1:6,021. The opposite of the 2026 #1, where Breaker gives it at 1:1,054.
For any fighter, a SuperFractor turns up on average once every 262 Hobby boxes (12 packs per box). With 200 cards in the base set, Ilia Topuria's turns up once every 629,200 Hobby packs. Our estimate from the official sheet, assuming an even split among the 200.
The Red /5 has four short-print siblings: the Red Geometric /5 in Breaker, the Hobby FrozenFractor and, below them, the two /2s.
