Each pack contains one guaranteed auto and one guaranteed relic. With 4 packs per box, you\u2019re looking at 8 hits. That\u2019s in addition to the inserts and parallels included in each pack.<\/p>\n<p>Topps sent me a box of Knockout to review and it was loads of fun to open. The base cards are very simply designed, with action photos on the front and a short biography on the back. Card orientation changes between horizontal and vertical; I preferred the horizontal photos because they provided a much better action shot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3266 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bigleaguebreaks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_0161-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The middle of the pack is home to both hits. In my four packs, I got a first autograph card of Aspen Ladd #\/99, an auto\/mat relic of Tatiana Suarez #\/99, an auto\/relic of Sean O\u2019Malley #\/99, and a purple auto of Sean O\u2019Malley #\/25. The base autographs are on card, while the auto relics have sticker autos. O\u2019Malley is an undefeated fighter, but was suspended last year for\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">violating leagues anti-doping policy. That said, he is scheduled to return in July and there is a lot of excitement around his next fight. Ladd, also undefeated, just won her eighth match about a week ago and is one of the most exciting female fighters out there today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3265 \" src=\"https:\/\/bigleaguebreaks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_0162-533x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Relic cards are a mainstay in UFC Knockout. I got a base relic #\/150 of Khabib Nurmagomedov, the Russian fighter who currently owns the longest undefeated streak in MMA. My other single relic was a blue parallel #\/50 of Brazilian fighter Rafael dos Anjos. My jumbo mat relic of another Brazilian, Amanda Nunes, was also a blue parallel #\/50. My dual relic was a purple parallel #\/25 of Daniel Cormier, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3262 \" src=\"https:\/\/bigleaguebreaks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_0163-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For baseball card devotees, there\u2019s a familiar feeling coming from the Fire insert set, seeded 1:8 packs, or every other box. This insert set uses the design from the retail-only Topps Fire baseball set. There are also Fire autographs, though I didn\u2019t receive one.<\/p>\n<p>Colored parallels abound and appear at the end of each pack. I received 4 green #\/149, 2 blue #\/88, and 2 purple #\/25. The purple was the most attractive parallel to me; I\u2019m usually partial to blue parallels, but in this case, the blues look much too similar to the base cards, which already have a blue color palette.<\/p>\n<p>2019 Topps UFC Knockout is loaded with hits and parallels. Whether you\u2019re a fan of MMA or not, you\u2019ll have fun opening this product. You could even try your hand at a single pack, but my guess is that you\u2019ll be itching to open the rest of the box if you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking for hits, 2019 Topps UFC Knockout packs plenty of punch.
