On Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 12 PM PT, fans will visit the UFC Strike Now website to choose the athletes they think will win. If the fan's selected athlete wins, the collectible will be upgraded to include exclusive video footage celebrating the victory. If the fan's selected athlete is defeated, the collectible will be updated to include only basic upgrades. Collectibles are available at purchase, and upgrades happen shortly following the event.

Collectors have until 7 PM PT on Saturday, January 20, 2024 to make their picks. Once a card submission is made, the picks are locked in for the week. So make sure to answer all the questions to maximize your potential points!
