Why it matters
Topps acquired the UFC licence in October 2008 and Round 1 was the result — Topps's first UFC-licensed set. (It was not the first MMA set: 2006 PRIDE FC, issued in Japan, came three years earlier.) What it does not carry is a Jon Jones card.

2009 Topps UFC Round 1 is a 102-card base set and contains no Jon Jones card.
The archive carries NSLists' count of 102 commons; TCDB's checklist for the same product stops at 100. Either way the set matters here because at least one widely-cited secondary source implies the Jones rookie belongs to Round 1. It does not.
