What's Buzz-worthy: It's been a while since UFC hit the card-aisletagon, but if all of the boxes deliver as well as this one did, there will be more to come. My first pack in this one yielded an autograph with on-card ink and posted odds of one in 120 packs. Then, I landed a Green Refractor (one in 32) as well as three inserts that should all not have been found in one box as they all had odds of one-in-11 or higher. The easiest insert, a 1984 set, I didn't even get. The Sepia Refractors have some good potential here with some strong photos in the set -- my pack wasn't that good on that front, but I can imagine some of the good photos I did land on cards would look even better as that parallel. The odds here are long on a lot of stuff, but there are Superfractors, printing plates, variations and more to be found here. If these boxes consistently over-deliver, they might be worth a look but the hobby boxes that guarantee plenty aren't too expensive -- hit that link above -- so I'd probably go that route first if you're a regular UFC buyer. If you're more of a dabbler like I am, this one might be worth checking out.
