Our focus in this update is to bring a wealth of new and exciting content in time for International Fight Week and UFC 303. Gameplay adjustments are still one of our primary focuses and we will have new gameplay updates to share with you in the near future. Please keep the feedback coming as it’s vital to our gameplay tuning processes. 

We hope you’re pumped for this huge final round of new fighters coming to EA SPORTS UFC 5 on June 24th. Don’t worry though, after incorporating these additional fighters into the extended roster, we will continue our normal update cadence of introducing 2-3 fighters with each patch and ensuring that the in-game roster remains up-to-date with the current UFC Athlete Rankings.

There are 15 new fighters in this update, it’s the most fighters we’ve added in one update in any EA UFC game. Let's take a closer look at four of the big names on the list:

Kayla Harrison (#4 WBW) - Kayla made a statement in her UFC debut by submitting her opponent with a rear-naked choke at UFC 300. With Judo as her base, dominant cage control, and a stifling top game are what’s in store if you pick Kayla Harrison in UFC 5.

Michel Pereira (#13 MW) - “Demolidor” or Demolisher in English is the perfect nickname for Michel Pereira. This former welterweight has demolished the competition since moving up to middleweight. True to his style, Michel will have one of the wildest move sets in UFC 5, just to name a few: Rolling Thunder, Cage Running Superman Punch, Showtime Kick, and Handplant Kick.

Joaquin Buckley (#11 WW) - If you can’t tell just by looking at him, Joaquin Buckley has power. A former middleweight who moved down to welterweight, Buckley has looked great in the lower-weight class, rattling off 4 wins in a row (3 by finish). Powerful kicks, great head movement, and fast takedowns round out the game of “New Mansa” in UFC 5.

Caio Borralho (#12 MW) - A dark horse in the middleweight division. Caio’s methodical pace has given many middleweights problems. When you think he’s going to strike, he shoots, when you think he’s going to wrestle, he throws a quick combination. “The Natural” has an astounding 6 wins in a row and is knocking on the door for a Top 10 spot in the UFC Rankings. A sound stand-up defense and dangerous ground game are your best tools when you pick Caio in UFC 5.
