EA Sports has officially announced UFC 6, the next installment in its long-running mixed martial arts video game franchise, with two cover athletes headlining separate editions of the title.
Alex Pereira, known as "Poatan," will appear on the cover of the standard edition. The 38-year-old Brazilian holds the light heavyweight championship and carries a professional record of 13-4-0. Standing six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, Pereira is one of the most physically imposing fighters in the sport. He lands 5.16 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 62 percent, among the highest marks in his division. He trains out of Teixeira MMA and Fitness and competes out of an orthodox stance.
Max Holloway, nicknamed "Blessed," will grace the cover of the Ultimate edition. The 34-year-old American currently ranks fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound standings, holding a record of 27-9-0. Holloway stands five-foot-eleven with a 69-inch reach and is one of the most prolific strikers in UFC history, landing 7.2 significant strikes per minute with 48 percent accuracy. He trains at Gracie Technics and competes out of an orthodox stance.
Why it matters
- Pereira's championship status in the light heavyweight division makes him a natural face for the standard edition
- Holloway's pound-for-pound ranking and volume striking record give him crossover appeal that suits a premium edition
- The pairing of a current champion and a top-ranked contender from separate weight classes broadens the game's marketing reach across the fanbase
