EA Sports has officially announced the UFC 6 video game with two different versions available. The standard edition will feature Alex Pereira on the cover, while the Ultimate edition showcases Max Holloway. This represents the latest installment in the popular EA Sports UFC gaming franchise. Both fighters have become major stars in the promotion and are known for their exciting fighting styles. The announcement marks a significant milestone for both athletes. Additional details about release dates and game features were not included in this initial reveal.
EA Sports has officially unveiled UFC 6, the next entry in its long-running mixed martial arts video game franchise, with two marquee cover athletes: Alex Pereira on the standard edition and Max Holloway on the Ultimate edition.
Pereira, who holds the UFC light heavyweight championship, brings genuine star power to the standard cover. The 38-year-old Brazilian stands six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach and carries a professional record of 13-4. Fighting out of Teixeira MMA and Fitness, "Poatan" lands 5.16 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 62 percent, numbers that reflect the surgical power striking that has made him one of the most feared finishers in the sport.
Holloway is no less compelling a choice for the Ultimate edition. The 34-year-old Hawaiian, ranked fourth in the lightweight division and ninth pound-for-pound, owns a 27-9 record and fights out of Gracie Technics. Standing five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach, "Blessed" generates 7.2 significant strikes per minute — among the highest volumes in the UFC — while connecting at 48 percent accuracy. He currently ranks as one of the division's premier contenders.
Why it matters
- Pereira's championship status and knockout power make him one of the UFC's most marketable current athletes
- Holloway's elite striking volume and pound-for-pound ranking cement his status as a fan-favorite face for the franchise
- Dual cover versions give EA Sports a cross-divisional promotional reach, pairing a Brazilian champion with an American fan favorite
- No release date or gameplay details were included in the initial announcement
