Recommended Videos

  • Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (UFC 81, 2008) – A sensation in PRIDE and a champion through and through, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira added a UFC interim heavyweight belt to his collection with a guillotine of former champ Tim Sylvia at UFC 81.
  • Derrick Lewis (UFC Fight Night 185, 2021)Most assumed Derrick Lewis would get smothered by the dominant wrestling of Curtis “Razor” Blaydes. However, for the first six minutes of their bout, a mild-mannered kickboxing match took place — until Blaydes changed levels and met a vicious Lewis uppercut that sent him to the canvas cold.
  • Dominick Reyes (UFC 247, 2020) – A blistering six-fight win streak in the UFC’s light heavyweight division was Dominick Reyes’ ticket to standing across the Octagon from divisional GOAT Jon Jones. Reyes proved himself worthy, losing a close decision in a gritty, back-and-forth affair many thought he won.
  • Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort (UFC 12, 1997) – When Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort stepped into the UFC Octagon for the first time in 1997, he was just 19 years old with no known weaknesses. He’d deliver on the hype, dispatching Tra Telligman and Scott Ferrozzo in two minutes flat to claim the heavyweight tournament crown.

In case you missed it, EA Sports UFC 5 became available on Game Pass and the EA Play List a few weeks ago. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play members who haven’t purchased the game can download it for free with their subscription on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

As a bonus, members can claim the Bruce Lee Bundle, which includes alternate versions of the legendary martial artist. This exclusive bundle is available in the Perks section at no extra cost until February 11.

The team released UFC 5 patch 1.19 last week, introducing Asu Almabayev to the roster. The in-game store now offers clearer details on which fighter is used for Alter Ego stat and move comparisons. Check out the brief patch notes below.

Gameplay

  • Fixed a bug where performing a muscle-modified transition could apply an extra stamina cost to a future action. This issue affected submissions, where it could cause an exaggerated stamina drain when denying the opponent’s fakes.

Bugs

  • Fixed an issue where an empty reward flow is triggered
  • Fixed some rare issues where broken text layouts were appearing for some languages 
  • Fixed some rare clipping issues with certain clothing items and body types
