Ilia Topuria Twilight #TL-13: 2025 Topps Midnight UFC
We have catalogued 3 versions of Ilia Topuria's Twilight #TL-13, the after-dark portrait case hit of 2025 Topps Midnight UFC and his first Twilight. 3 have a photo of the actual copy.
Twilight is a 20-card insert in 2025 Topps Midnight UFC and Topps calls it “a signature Midnight UFC case-hit insert” in its brand history. Ilia Topuria is #TL-13, per the official checklist; he shares the insert with Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Alex Pereira and Charles Oliveira.
Right before him is Max Holloway, #TL-12: the fighter he beats in the text on his back.
A portrait with no title
Front: a close-up of Ilia Topuria with half his face in shadow, on black, with his name and “Featherweight” running vertically on the right and the UFC logo at the bottom. The word “Twilight” is not on the front: you identify it by the number on the back.
That is the idea the insert was born with: in 2024 Checklist Insider described it as a nearly all-black scheme showing only the portrait and the name (secondary source).
The Black Light 1/1 swaps the plain black for geometric neon lines, per the photo of our copy.
Back: “Featherweight” and two nights: at UFC 298 he made history as the first Georgian and Spanish champion by knocking out Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight belt, and defended it eight months later at UFC 308, beating Max Holloway by third-round KO/TKO (official result).
TL-13 odds, rung by rung
The official Topps sheet gives per-pack odds, and in 2025 Midnight a box is a single pack (8 boxes per case, per Checklist Insider, a secondary source). In brackets, Ilia Topuria's own card, our estimate (odds × 20):
No colour, unnumbered: 1:52 (1:1,040).
Daybreak /5: 1:213 (1:4,260).
Black Light 1/1: 1:1,062 (1:21,240).
Added up, some TL-13 turns up on average once every 804 boxes, about a hundred cases. And if copies follow the odds, the no-colour card would number about 20 per fighter. Our estimates.
Twilight: three different things with one name
The Twilight /99 parallel is a base-set colour: on the 2025 Midnight #11 it falls 1:2. The insert carries the TL- prefix and its own ladder.
“TL-12” is not Ilia Topuria in 2025: it is Max Holloway. In 2026 it is him: Ilia Topuria's Twilight #TL-12, with “Lightweight” on the front.
2024 Twilight existed, without him: 20 cards with the TT- prefix and 1:80 odds, per the checklist and the 2024 odds sheet. The 2025 version is easier to pull on every rung.
Checklist Insider contradicts itself: it lists 2025 Twilight among the case hits in its text but does not mark it as one in its checklist (secondary source). Topps does call it a case hit, which is why it is in Ilia Topuria's case hits.
