EA Sports has officially announced UFC 6, the next entry in its long-running mixed martial arts video game series, with two cover athletes headlining a standard and an Ultimate edition of the title.
Alex Pereira graces the cover of the standard edition. The Brazilian knockout artist, known as "Poatan," currently holds the UFC light heavyweight championship and carries a professional record of 13-4. Standing six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, the 38-year-old trains out of Teixeira MMA and Fitness and has built his reputation on elite striking, landing significant shots at a rate of 5.16 per minute with a remarkable 62 percent striking accuracy.
Max Holloway appears on the Ultimate edition cover. The 34-year-old Hawaiian, nicknamed "Blessed," is a former featherweight champion and the current BMF titleholder. Now competing at lightweight, where he sits ranked fourth in the division and ninth in the pound-for-pound standings, Holloway holds a 27-9 record and is one of the sport's most prolific volume strikers, landing 7.2 significant strikes per minute with 48 percent accuracy across his career.
Why it matters
- Pereira's cover placement cements his status as the face of the light heavyweight division and one of the UFC's biggest stars.
- Holloway's inclusion reflects his crossover appeal, built through a decorated featherweight career and his BMF title run.
- No release date or feature details were announced alongside the reveal, leaving specifics about gameplay and platform availability still to come.
