Reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is working at his local hobby shop in a new commercial from Topps, which is promoting a trading card buyback event. Topps and participating hobby shops will buy back 2024 Topps Chrome Alex Pereira cards and offer store credit in exchange for “Poatan.”

Here’s how it works:

  1. Buy 2024 Topps Chrome UFC and collect Alex Pereira cards.
  2. Bring those Alex Pereira cards to your local participating hobby shop
  3. Exchange the cards for store credit

Topps has a list of participating partners at its website here. If you don’t live near a participating hobby shop, Topps has partnered with three retailers to service mail-in UFC Main Event buyback cards.

Pereira, 36, is expected to defend his 205-pound title at some point later this year, with former champion Jiri Prochazka and top contender Magomed Ankalaev both in the running for the next light heavyweight title shot.
