The rookie case
2022 Panini Prizm UFC #32
His base card in 2022 Panini Prizm UFC, which TCDB dates to March 25, 2022, the same month as his second UFC win. It's the Prizm-brand rookie and the one with the longest parallel rainbow.
Sources disagree: Panini prints its RC logo on 2022 Panini Instant #14 (UFC 272), which probably came first, but TCDB does not flag it RC and flags Prizm #32 instead.
SportsCardsPro's item details list Prizm #32, Select #81 and Chronicles #77 as 'not a rookie card', while TCDB and the printed RC logos say they are. Instant cards are sold as 'RC' and do carry the logo, but their '/1114' and '1 of 334' numbers are announced print runs, not serials.

Umar Nurmagomedov's rookie card: 2022 Panini Prizm UFC #32 — Umar Nurmagomedov.
TCDB lists no Umar Nurmagomedov cards before 2022. It flags 2022 Panini Prizm #32, Select #81/#236/#355 and Chronicles #77 as RC; Prizm #32 released first (25 March 2022, per TCDB), and SportsCardsPro listings sell it as his RC. 2022 Panini Instant #14 (UFC 272, 5 March 2022) prints Panini's RC logo and probably reached collectors slightly earlier, but TCDB does not flag Instant cards. FightCardboard's rule for Panini Instant cards: the working pick is the earliest TCDB-flagged RC in a regular release, and the Instant card is recorded as the other candidate.
