Ilia Topuria black and white cards: Black & White and Monochrome
We have catalogued 5 black and white Ilia Topuria cards from 5 sets: the Black & White parallel and the Monochrome insert from 2025 Topps Finest. 5 have a photo of the actual copy.
Black & White is a parallel: the same base card, with the photo and design turned to greyscale. Monochrome is something else: an insert with its own design, conceived in black and white from the start. Both are here, because to the eye they are one family.
Ilia Topuria's Black & White parallels, set by set
2023 Goodwin Champions, base #73 (SSP): the first one. It comes only from e-Pack packs, as “Black and White Variations”, 1:1,120 packs for any of its 45 cards, per the official e-Pack odds and its checklist; Ilia Topuria's, around 1:50,400, our estimate. It is the only version of its number without the word ROOKIE, and its back tells his lightweight debut: the KO of Jai Herbert on March 19, 2022.
2025 Topps Stadium Club UFC, base #23: unnumbered and horizontal, with an action photo in the Octagon. We have not found an odds sheet for that set; the official checklist has none. Its back tells UFC 308, the title defence against Max Holloway.
2026 Topps Stadium Club UFC, base #6: Ilia Topuria with both belts and the flag after UFC 317. It only comes from Hobby boxes, 1:48 packs for any base card, per the official odds sheet; his, one in every 9,600, our estimate.
2026 Topps Knockout UFC, base #25: the only numbered one, /15, a new rung between the Red /25 and the Black /10. Topps has not published odds for 2026 Knockout, per Cardsmiths (a secondary source), so there is no estimate.
Monochrome: the greyscale insert of 2025 Finest
“Monochrome is a 20-card case hit insert”, Topps writes in its 2025 Finest UFC spotlight: a case hit, the kind that turns up about once per distributor case. Ilia Topuria is #MC-2, per the official checklist.
Design: a silver refractor with a circuit-board background and Ilia Topuria in his guard, all in greys; only the refractor shine adds colour.
Back: it tells his KOs of Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 and Max Holloway at UFC 308.
It is Monochrome's only appearance in MMA cards, and Topps did not publish odds for 2025 Finest UFC.
What gets mixed up
Sepia is not included: it is a brown tone, not black and white. Ilia Topuria has it in 2024 and 2025 Topps Chrome, 2025 Knockout and 2025 and 2026 Stadium Club, and it is on those numbers' pages.
Nor is 2022 Immaculate's Black/Red/White: it is a /49 tricolour parallel, with red.
Black Refractor, Black & Gold or Black Light are black parallels, not greyscale.
Format exclusives cover the Goodwin one (e-Pack only) and the 2026 Stadium Club one (Hobby only); case hits, the Monochrome.
