We have catalogued 66 Ilia Topuria relic cards across 8 collections, from 2023 to 2026. Only 5 carry material from a real event; 33 are fighter material with no event, 2 carry another material and for 26 the origin is not stated. 38 have a photo of the actual copy.
A relic is a card with a piece of something embedded: fabric, octagon canvas, a patch. What makes it valuable is not the piece but where it comes from, and the maker says so on the card itself. Every relic on this list carries its tag, taken from its back, its front or its official listing:
Event-used: material from a real event with a name and a date.
Fighter-worn: the front says “FIGHTER-WORN MEMORABILIA” but ties it to no fight.
Another material: neither from the fighter nor from an event; here, a stone.
Origin unconfirmed: the card does not say, or we could not check it.
Event-used: the UFC 308 canvas
Only one of his cards carries material from a specific fight: the 2024 Topps NOW #27 with octagon canvas from UFC 308, the night he knocked out Max Holloway. Its back says the canvas “came specifically from UFC 308”, and Topps sold it in a sealed pack with five parallels, from Blue /49 to Gold /1, per its official listing. The full story is on the Ilia Topuria event-used cards page.
Fighter-worn, no event
Most of his relics. The front promises fighter material; the back, when we have seen it, makes clear it comes from no specific fight:
2025 Topps Midnight, Relic Autographs (VRA-IT): autograph relic, from Base to Black Light 1/1. Its back: the material “does not come from any specific match or event”. Odds on the official sheet.
2025 Topps Knockout, Fight Mat Relics (FMR-IT): despite the “Fight Mat” name, the front reads “FIGHTER-WORN MEMORABILIA” and the back says it does not come from an event. Checked in hand. It is on the official checklist.
2025 Topps Knockout, relic booklets: UFC Champions Autograph Relic Booklet (CAR-IT) and Bitter Rivals Dual Autograph Relic Booklet, on the same official checklist. More in Ilia Topuria booklets.
2025 Topps Royalty: Grand Royal Relics (GR-IT), with three fabric pieces, and Prodigious Pairings (PRP-TD), a dual, per the official checklist.
2023 Goodwin Champions, Black Diamond Stone Relics (BDRR-IT): its relic is not fabric or canvas but an inlaid black stone, in the Black and the Pure Black Double Diamond 1/1. It comes from neither the fighter nor an event, but it is a named relic from his rookie year.
Origin unconfirmed
2026 Topps UFC Freedom 250, Relics (6-R): ten parallels and no photo showing what the piece is.
2023 Panini Immaculate, Jumbo Memorabilia: hoodie, gloves, hat and shorts, one piece per card; nothing on it says where it comes from.
2025 Topps Royalty, Dual Fighter Relic Autographs (DFA-TD): the signed dual; no photo of the copy.
2025 Topps Royalty, Supreme Royalty Signatures (SUR-IT): an autograph relic, in the “Autograph Relic” block of the official checklist; with no photo of a copy, we do not know what material it carries.
A photo of the back of any of them is enough to move it to its place.
The one that looks like a relic but is not
The 1997 coin card from his birth year: it carries a quarter, not a relic.
How to read this list
The list is live: any card tagged as a relic in our catalogue joins on its own, with the quote from its back, front or official listing.
The only event canvas 1/1 is the Topps NOW Gold: every other unique piece is in Ilia Topuria 1/1 cards.
