What's Buzz-worthy: This one delivered very well with several parallels with posted odds of one in 15 packs and one as tough as one in 20. I'm not sure if all boxes deliver this well, but it makes for a fun break with plenty of color and variety for UFC, which isn't really always the most-colorful kind of release. The energy of this one simply from some dashes of color, particularly in the base design, just feels a little more standout than recent releases, making this one that leaves me with a decent feel afterward. Most of the hits here are on the rarer side and the on-card autos are a nice touch though one isn't as special as it seems as Valentina Shevchenko signed all of her cards as "Bullet," her nickname. While this is a hits-based brand you still get a good mix in every pack with a pair of hits, a pair of parallels and a decent volume of base cards. All in all, I liked this break though I don't do a ton of UFC boxes. This seems like a safe break with some higher-end potential possible without a super-high-end price.
