Enter the octagon at your own risk. Be warned. Two contestants will enter, but only one will come out victorious. Que Queen’s Princes of the Universe song from the Highlander films… haha!
I can’t open a box of UFC Knockout without thinking about the first box of this stuff I opened back in 2015. Waiting for me inside one of the mini-boxes was a Ronda Rousey/Miesha Tate Auto/Relic Booklet #’ed/5. Absolutely nuts!
UFC Knockout is a staple when it comes to the Topps brand of UFC products. Collectors look forward to it as it is very hit driven. The 2019 incarnation has (4) packs per box. Each pack comes with (2) hits. That’s a total of (8) hits per master box. Lots of opportunity for some interesting looking relics and autographs.
Most fans open boxes of UFC Knockout for the hits. But there is a base set to put together. (100) cards make up the base set. Its a good mix of veteran fighters along with rookies. I like the smokey design. Three levels of parallels can be found – Green #’ed/149, Blue #’ed/88, Purple #’ed/25, Red #’ed/8, and Gold #’ed 1/1. Outside of the base set there is one insert – UFC Fire. The UFC Fire set consists of (24) total cards, and comes with that artistic Fire look we’ve seen in other products.
As I mentioned before this is a very hit driven set. Hits include Knockout Autographs, Knockout Autograph Relics, Autograph Jumbo Fight Mat Relics, A.K.A. Ink, UFC Fire Autographs, UFC Champions Autograph Relic Books, Dual Autographed Jumbo Relic Books, Knockout Relics, Jumbo Fight Mat Relics, and One-Two Combination Relics.
The on-card autographs found in the Knockout Autographs, A.K.A. Ink, and UFC Fire Autographs sets looks extremely cool. Not everything is signed on-card though. Some are on stickers.
My box delivered quite the variety of hits. Much more than just base-level cards. A lot of color compared to what I’m use to seeing from this brand. When opening this box things felt more exciting.

42-to-1. Those were the odds James “Buster” Douglas was given to beat Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo. Only one casino gave the odds as most others thought Tyson was a guaranteed winner. Douglas pulled together a Han Solo “Never tell me the odds.” attitude, and ended up beating Tyson. It was an upset the boxing world didn’t see coming. For a little over eight months, Douglas held the heavyweight championship title before losing it to Evander Holyfield.
Considering he’s a boxer, collectors have plenty of options when it comes to his cards. About (74) cards make up the James “Buster” Douglas checklist. They start in 1991, and go all the way to 2016. Thanks to products such as 2009 Upper Deck Prominent Cuts, 2010 Ringside Boxing Round 1, 2011 Ringside Boxing Round 2, 2013 Leaf Sports Heroes, 2013 Leaf Pop Century, and 2016 Leaf Pop Century, he has many autographs and relics available.
Some of his cards command quite the price. Especially if Mike Tyson is on there with him. One of the more expensive items you could add to your James “Buster” Douglas collection isn’t even a card at all. Its a video game for the SEGA Master System. Going into the fight as an underdog, and defeating Mike Tyson comes with it’s share of perks. SEGA quickly signed him to a deal, and pictured him on the front of James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing.
Personally, I’m not familiar with the Master System. At that time I had a Nintendo Entertainment System, and SEGA’s newer system the Genesis. Released in 1990, James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing came out an entire year after the Genesis had already been out. This game came out when demand for Master System games was on the decline. Very few copies were produced and/or sold. By then, SEGA fans wanted Genesis games.
Owning a copy of James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing for the Master System will cost you more than a lot of his cards combined. Complete copies sell for $600+. A Genesis version does exist, but is barely worth anything.
Sports video games traditionally tank in price over the years. Its difficult for that genre to hold value. Whenever I come across one that hasn’t tanked, I enjoy learning about it.

Its been three years since I’ve gotten my hands on a box of UFC Knockout. The first box of this stuff I opened was in 2015, and I pulled a monster hit. That Ronda Rousey/Miesha Tate Auto/Relic Booklet #’ed/5 was insane. It is also one of only a few booklet cards I’ve pulled. Topps has done really well with it’s line of UFC products. Boxes of their first UFC product, Round 1, continue to sell for a decent amount. Upwards of $250 to $300 in most cases. For a premiere flagship product nine years after it’s debut, I consider that very good. Sometimes this can happen with new products. The same thing happened to 2006 Allen & Ginter.
If you’re a UFC fan or just want to open a box full of hits, Knockout is totally the product for you. Each box comes with (4) packs. Inside every pack you’ll find (2) hits. That is a total of (8) hits per box. A master box goes for about $130. Considering all the hits you’re guaranteed, that isn’t too bad of a price.
When a product is configured like this, the base set isn’t what most box breakers are after. With that being said, there is a base set to put together. It consists of (100) cards. Parallels that you can pull include Green #’ed/199, Blue #’ed/99, Red #’ed/8, and Gold #’ed 1/1. You should get (8) parallels in every box.
Outside of the base set and it’s parallels, there is one insert. These come in the form of Notable Knockouts. There are (10) cards in this set. Although they aren’t serial numbered, only (100) copies of each card were printed. The photos Topps used for these are fairly intense and show a lot of action.
Hits! Hits! Hits! That certainly is the focus of UFC Knockout. I enjoy the Tier One Autographs signed in gold paint pen. The AKA Ink set is nice looking too. I’m a big fan of cards featuring dark backgrounds and paint pen signatures. Lots of big names.
