Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria is one of the hottest names in the sport ... and now he is shattering records in the hobby.
Topuria’s top rookie card, his 2022 Prizm UFC Black Prizm 1/1, sold privately via Goldin Auctions for $101,000, the auction house announced Wednesday.
The sale marks a record for any UFC card, besting the previous high held by Khabib Nurmagomedov’s 2014 Topps UFC Knockout Autographs 1/1 which fetched $79,200 in May 2022.
The six-figure share is an astounding price for Topuria, whose previous record sale was just $6,000.
According to Market Movers, Topuria’s sales volume over the past year (not counting the most recent record sale) was $55,500. That volume is up more than 56% year-over-year.
