Ilia Topuria 2026 Topps Chrome UFC #1: the base card and every parallel
Card #1 of 2026 Topps Chrome UFC is Ilia Topuria's, the card that opens the base set, and here it is in full: we have catalogued 41 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. 39 have a photo of the actual copy.
Ilia Topuria is card #1 of the 200 in the base set of 2026 Topps Chrome UFC, per the official Topps checklist (archived copy; Topps has removed it from its server). This page does not repeat the set page: it gathers the whole rainbow of that number.
Front: a horizontal card with Ilia Topuria arms spread against the Octagon fence, and the division printed under his name: “Lightweight”.
Back: it introduces him as a two-division champion and recounts the first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira at UFC 317, at 2:27, landing 21 of 29 significant strikes (72%), and his perfect 9-0 record, per the photographed back of our copy.
The same design in every colour: what changes from one parallel to the next is the chrome finish and, on numbered cards, the print run.
Which parallels come from which box
The official odds sheet separates four formats, and each has a family of its own that the other three do not carry:
Hobby: Prism Refractor (1:4), Negative Refractor (1:4), Sonar Refractor (1:6), OctaFractor /8 (1:636) and the FrozenFractor, numbered -5 to -1 (1:529).
Breaker's Delight: the Geometric family, from the unnumbered Geometric (2 per pack) to the Black Geometric /2 (1:31).
Value: UFC Glove Refractor (1:2) and the RayWave family, from Blue /150 (1:64) to Red /5 (1:1,912).
Mega: X-Fractor (1:1) and the Mini Diamonds family, from Blue /150 (1:20) to Red /5 (1:575).
In all four: the classic ladder from Magenta /399 to SuperFractor 1/1. The base and the Refractor come from Hobby, Value and Mega, not Breaker.
The core ladder: odds in Hobby · Breaker · Value · Mega
Geometric (Breaker), per the official sheet: Blue /99 and Green /75 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 1:31.
RayWave (Value): Blue /150 1:64, Purple /75 1:128, Gold /50 1:192, Orange /25 1:383, Black /10 1:956, Red /5 1:1,912.
Mini Diamonds (Mega): Blue /150 1:20, Purple /75 1:39, Gold /50 1:58, Orange /25 1:115, Black /10 1:288, Red /5 1:575.
One print run, four different cards: there is a /5 in each format (Red Refractor, Red Geometric, Red RayWave and Red Mini Diamonds). They share a print run, not a card.
How scarce the #1 gets, in numbers
The fewest copies belong to the SuperFractor 1/1, listed among Ilia Topuria SuperFractors; next comes the Black Geometric /2, Breaker only.
For any fighter, a SuperFractor turns up on average once every 423 Hobby boxes (1:5,081 packs, 12 packs per box). With 200 cards in the base set, Ilia Topuria's own turns up once every 1,016,200 Hobby packs. Both figures are our estimate from the official sheet, assuming an even split among the 200.
Per box, Breaker is the shortcut: its box is a single 12-card pack (configuration per Checklist Insider, a secondary source), so any fighter's Black Geometric /2 turns up on average once every 31 boxes. Ilia Topuria's, once every 6,200 boxes, by our estimate.
One /8 and five below zero: the OctaFractor /8 and the five FrozenFractors numbered -5 to -1 come from Hobby only.
The #1 buyback
