Fans reacted as Daniel Cormier unboxed a rare Jon Jones card in his set of UFC trading cards. UFC trading cards have become a popular collectible in recent years, with some highly valued based on their rarity, the popularity of the fighter, and their legacy, among other factors.

In a recent video posted by @UFCStats on X, Cormier, alongside Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, unpacked a set of cards. To Cormier's surprise, he discovered a Jones card with a 'Gold Label', one of the most sought-after and valuable categories in the trading card world.

An excited 'DC' exclaimed:

"I got Jon Jones, a Gold Label Jon Jones. Don't touch it, that's mine. It's one-of-one [Only one of its kind with no other similar card]... Yeah, it's one of one..."
