Why this card matters
Faber's earliest confirmed trading card, and the reason he is a Topps-WEC case rather than a Topps-UFC one. Main Event was Topps' third UFC product and the first to carry a block of WEC fighters; Faber lands in that WEC Fighter run at #144, roughly a year before he ever fought in the Octagon and two years after he had already lost the WEC featherweight title. He is absent from the 200-card 2010 Topps UFC Series 4 (Round 4) checklist, so there is nothing of his from between his 2003 pro debut and this card.
Identification
Missing a back scan. Contribute one.
- Base-set card #144, catalogued under the 'WEC Fighter' subset heading — the first block of WEC fighters in any Topps UFC product
- Collectibles.com's register carries it as '2010 Topps UFC Main Event #144 RC Urijah Faber'
- Shown as a WEC fighter, not a UFC fighter — he had no UFC bout until UFC 128 in March 2011
- eBay pick-lists for this product simply read '#144 Urijah Faber'; the WEC/RC wording appears only on the catalogue entry
| Faber's rookie is a 2011 Topps UFC card, because that is when he joined the UFC. | Topps had already put him in the 2010 Main Event base set as a WEC fighter at #144, more than a year before UFC 128. |
| Faber is in 2010 Topps UFC Series 4 / Round 4. | Jeff Allender's full Round 4 checklist has no Faber card at all — that set ran 200 base cards of UFC fighters and personalities. |
Disputed
Rookie status only, and the sources now lean one way: Collectibles.com's register and eBay's catalogue both designate the card a rookie, while SportsCardsPro's structured rookie field reads 'No'. The card's year, set, number and WEC Fighter subset agree across all of them.
