Ilia Topuria Big Ticket #BT-16: 2026 Topps Chrome UFC
We have catalogued 5 versions of Ilia Topuria's Big Ticket #BT-16, the 2026 Topps Chrome UFC insert designed as a ticket to a Las Vegas fight night. 5 have a photo of the actual copy.
Big Ticket is a Hobby-exclusive 25-card insert in 2026 Topps Chrome UFC featuring Alexandre Pantoja, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili. Ilia Topuria is #BT-16, per the official Topps checklist.
Front: Ilia Topuria with a championship belt over each shoulder against a backdrop of neon lights; “Las Vegas 2026” runs vertically on the left, and at the bottom a gold ticket reads “Big Ticket” with a printed seat: “Sec 7 · Row 0 · Seat 2”. Under his name, “Lightweight”.
Back: the number BT-16, the same ticket and “Las Vegas 2026” over a lit-up Octagon, and a single line: “Big Ticket card from 2026 Topps Chrome UFC”. It tells no fight story. We read it on the photographed back of our copy.
Big Ticket 2025 and 2026: same insert, a different ticket
Big Ticket debuted in 2025 Topps Chrome UFC, where Ilia Topuria was #BTT-18 of 30, per the official 2025 checklist. In 2026 it returns with 25 cards and the BT prefix: its second appearance in UFC cards, since it was not in 2024 Chrome UFC, per Checklist Insider (a secondary source).
2025: a horizontal card shaped like a ticket, with a close-up of Ilia Topuria, “Featherweight”, “Las Vegas”, dice, chips and playing cards; on the back, a “Welcome to Las Vegas” stamp. Two versions: the one listed on this site as Refractor, 1:40 Hobby packs, and the SuperFractor 1/1, 1:14,677, per the 2025 odds sheet, which lists the first simply as “Big Ticket”.
2026: a vertical card, two belts, “Lightweight” and five versions, from base to SuperFractor. The front follows the division printed each year: featherweight in 2025, lightweight in 2026.
Which box it comes from and how often
Big Ticket comes only from Hobby packs: one in 57 holds one, of any fighter, per the official odds sheet. A Hobby box holds 12 packs of 8 cards and a case 12 boxes, per Checklist Insider (a secondary source), which dates the release to 8 May 2026.
Adding up the five versions, some Big Ticket of Ilia Topuria turns up on average once every 1,214 packs: about 101 Hobby boxes, just over eight cases. Our estimate, with an even split among the 25, who share odds and print runs.
The BT-16 parallel ladder
Per-pack Hobby odds from the official sheet; print runs from Checklist Insider, a secondary source, matching our catalogue. In brackets, Ilia Topuria's card (our estimate, odds × 25):
Base, unnumbered: 1:57 (1:1,425).
Gold Refractor /50: 1:432 (1:10,800).
Black Refractor /10: 1:2,157 (1:53,925).
Red Refractor /5: 1:4,313 (1:107,825).
SuperFractor 1/1: 1:21,565 (1:539,125).
Worth knowing
A short ladder: from the base it jumps to the Gold /50, without the coloured Refractors from Magenta /399 to Orange /25 that his base #1 does have.
About 380 copies of the base per fighter: the 1,250 Gold /50 at 1:432 and the 25 SuperFractors at 1:21,565 both point to about 540,000 Hobby packs; on that figure, the unnumbered base at 1:57 would have been printed about 380 times per fighter. Our estimate from the official sheet, which warns that actual contents may vary; not a Topps figure.
Same odds as his dual card: Split Decision #SP-4, with Charles Oliveira, repeats the five versions and the 1:57. Fight Night Flashback #FNF-7 has the same ladder with longer odds and only 20 cards.
