The official trailer for EA Sports UFC 6 has been released. The trailer includes footage of Max Holloway knocking out Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira finishing Ciryl Gane. The post notes these matchups as potential hints from EA Sports about future fights. Both matchups shown in the trailer have not occurred in real life. The footage appears to be from the upcoming video game rather than actual fight announcements.
EA Sports dropped the official trailer for UFC 6 on May 5, 2026, and the footage has drawn immediate attention for the matchups it chose to put on screen — most notably Max Holloway knocking out Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira finishing Ciryl Gane, neither of which has taken place in real life.
Holloway, 34, enters the virtual cage as one of the sport's most active strikers. The Hawaiian holds a 27-9-0 record and sits fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound rankings. He lands 7.2 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, numbers that have made him one of the most prolific volume strikers in the sport's history.
Pereira, the reigning light heavyweight champion at 38 years old, carries a 13-4-0 record and a 62 percent striking accuracy mark that underlines why EA Sports cast him in a finishing role. The Brazilian, who stands six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, has built his reputation on powerful, precise striking under the Teixeira MMA and Fitness banner.
His digital opponent, Ciryl Gane, is equally imposing on paper. The French heavyweight is ranked second in his division with a 14-2-0 record. Standing six-foot-four with an 81-inch reach and landing significant strikes at 61 percent accuracy, "Bon Gamin" is widely regarded as one of the most technically sound heavyweights in the world.
Why it matters
- Neither trailer matchup — Holloway vs. McGregor or Pereira vs. Gane — has been officially announced as a real bout, though both have drawn speculation.
- Pereira vs. Gane would pit the light heavyweight champion against the number-two ranked heavyweight, crossing divisional lines.
- EA Sports has a history of using game trailers to reflect culturally relevant or fan-desired matchups, lending the footage an added layer of intrigue for fight fans.
