EA Sports dropped the official trailer for UFC 6 on May 5, 2026, and the developer made sure to turn heads with its choice of highlight moments — showing Max Holloway finishing Conor McGregor by knockout and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira doing the same to Ciryl Gane.

Holloway, 34, represents the United States out of Gracie Technics and currently sits fourth in the lightweight division and ninth in the pound-for-pound rankings with a 27-9 record. He is one of the most prolific volume strikers in the sport, landing 7.2 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, making his inclusion in a marquee knockout sequence a natural fit for a game trailer built around highlight-reel violence.

Pereira, 38, is the reigning light heavyweight champion out of Brazil and carries a 13-4 record. The Teixeira MMA and Fitness product is built for exactly this kind of promotional moment — standing six-foot-four with a 79-inch reach, landing significant strikes at 62 percent accuracy, his finishing reputation needs little editorial help from a game developer.

On the receiving end of that sequence is Ciryl Gane, the 36-year-old Frenchman ranked second in the heavyweight division with a 14-2 record. Gane trains out of MMA Factory and at six-foot-four with an 81-inch reach, he is among the more technically refined strikers in the heavyweight division, posting 61 percent striking accuracy of his own.

Why it matters

  • EA Sports placing Holloway over McGregor signals a deliberate nod to one of the sport's most recognizable potential matchups at lightweight.
  • The Pereira-Gane pairing in the trailer reflects the heavyweight contender's standing as the second-ranked fighter in that division and a logical opponent for cross-divisional speculation.
  • Game trailers from the UFC franchise have historically fueled fan debate about which matchups the sport should be making in reality.
