Ilia Topuria and Dana White Thoughts From The Boss #TBA-TW: 2025 Topps Finest UFC
We have catalogued 3 versions of Thoughts From The Boss #TBA-TW, Ilia Topuria's dual autograph with Dana White in 2025 Topps Finest UFC: Black Refractor /25, Red Refractor /5 and Superfractor 1/1. 0 have a photo of the actual copy.
Thoughts From The Boss is a set of 10 dual autographs in 2025 Topps Finest UFC: every card pairs UFC president Dana White with a fighter. Ilia Topuria's is #TBA-TW, per the official Topps checklist; the other nine feature Tom Aspinall, Max Holloway, Islam Makhachev, Jon Jones, Kayla Harrison, Conor McGregor, Sean O'Malley, Alex Pereira and Valentina Shevchenko.
Checklist Insider describes it as a dual autograph set that pairs Dana White with a fighter (a secondary source).
What the card looks like: we are not saying yet. None of the three versions has a real photo so far (their pages show AI recreations, labelled as such), and without a copy in view we cannot describe the design or tell whether the two signatures are on-card or on stickers.
Thoughts From The Boss before 2025
The dual autograph with Dana White is not new to UFC cards, but it is new for Ilia Topuria: 2025 is his first Thoughts From The Boss. These are the earlier editions we have traced, all duals with Dana White, per Cardboard Connection (a secondary source); there may be more:
2012 Topps Finest UFC: 15 cards /25, on which Dana White also shared his view of the fighter (Cardboard Connection).
2015 and 2016 Topps Knockout UFC: 10 and 17 cards, /50 (Cardboard Connection).
2025 Topps Finest UFC: back in Finest, with 10 cards.
Which box it comes from
To pull it you need 2025 Finest UFC Hobby boxes, on sale since November 7, 2025: 6 packs of 10 cards per box and 8 boxes per case, per Topps' official guide, and two autographs in every box, per Checklist Insider (a secondary source).
There are no odds to work out how often it falls: Topps did not publish them for this product, and Cardsmiths (a secondary source) is still waiting for them before giving its pull rates.
The TBA-TW ladder
The three versions we have catalogued, with print runs from Checklist Insider (a secondary source):
Black Refractor /25.
Red Refractor /5.
Superfractor 1/1.
Why there is no unnumbered version on the list: the #TBA-TW sales we have reviewed are of these three versions, with the Red at /5, and no unnumbered copy. Some secondary sources present them as parallels of a base, and Cardsmiths lists the Red as /10; if a copy turns up that confirms it, we will add it.
The Black /25 has the same print run as the Black Refractor of his Golden Moments and Intimidators inserts, but here it is the most common of the versions we have catalogued.
