Collect the Greatest Welterweights to Hit the Octagon
Since its inception, the UFC welterweight division has been one of the deepest and most competitive in the company’s history. Even with welterweight GOAT Georges St-Pierre dominating the Octagon for years, the 170-pounders behind him have consistently provided some of the brightest talent and most colorful characters ever known in the sport.
And in the heyday of GSP, Topps was there, featuring him in their inaugural set in 2009, and continually immortalizing MMA legends over the years, such as Matt Hughes and Nick Diaz in iconic sets such as Topps Chrome® UFC, and the latest Topps Finest UFC.
