Ultimate Fighting Championship card collectors have a fresh
concept to get excited about.
Topps has exclusively produced UFC cards since signing a deal with
the promotion last year. Topps and the UFC have now collaborated
for a Debut Patch Program, starting with
UFC Vegas 107 “Blanchfield vs. Barber” on May 31.
All UFC debutants on the card will wear a small patch on the right
sleeve of their walkout jersey, starting with Andreas
Gustafsson on the prelims. The patches will later be removed
and made into a one-of-one trading card signed by the fighters
themselves. These cards will be available as Topps UFC products in
2026, and the program will continue with each event going forward.
