Patch 1.15 goes live tomorrow and addresses two new registered fighters, a new punch card with several Alter Ego rewards including Daniel Cormier UFC 226 Alter Ego, aka Champ Champ (Community Vote Series), and attack silencing effects Contains gameplay fixes. Landing from inaccurate striking ranges, speed of leg kicks when used in punch-starting combos, issues with low single leg takedowns being accessible to all fighters rather than just those with a sufficiently high level of wrestling takedowns. .
So let’s check out the two new roster fighters coming to tomorrow’s UFC 5:
Shara Magomedov – If being a UFC champion was based on looking intimidating, Shara would already be wearing the UFC middleweight championship belt. Shara is on a three-fight win streak since joining the UFC and looks like he could be a real contender for Shark Tank, the UFC’s middleweight division. When picking Shara for UFC 5, look for fast and powerful kicks combined with agile footwork.
Matt Frevola – STEAMROLLAAA is finally making it to UFC 5. Primarily known for his punching power that led to three consecutive KO wins at one point in his UFC career, Matt comes from the same gym as Merab and Arjo, who can also wrestle and counterwrestle, only improving his submission defense. Do you want a tough, gritty fighter with the power to crush any opponent and end a fight? The SteamRolla is perfect for the job in UFC 5.
Here are the details you need to know about Alter Ego at UFC 5 today.
Daniel Cormier (UFC 226|2018) – It took Daniel Cormier 4 minutes and 33 seconds to become the second person in history to hold two UFC Championship titles at the same time, but he spent hours on the wrestling mat. He fought 11 fights in two UFCs. Department up to this point. There was nothing stopping DC from becoming the Baddest Man on Earth and Champ Champ in the same night at UFC 226.
Thank you to the EA SPORTS UFC 5 community for participating in the in-game community voting event and voting to add Daniel Cormier’s UFC 226 Alter Ego to the game. The remaining community-voted Alter Ego series will be added on October 22, 2024.
Leon Edwards (UFC 278|2022) – Leon Edwards was bullied for four and a half rounds in the UFC 278 main event. Salt Lake City, Utah’s altitude took its toll on Birmingham, England residents fighting in enemy territory. That’s what everyone thought, but that wasn’t the cloth Leon was torn from. With less than a minute to go, Edwards landed a head kick that sent Usman crashing to the canvas. “Headshot, dead.” With this, Britain became the first UFC welterweight champion.
Justin Gaethje (UFC 291|2023) – Salt Lake City and what is a head kick? Nearly a year after Leon scored a come-from-behind victory with a head kick near the end of round 5 at UFC 278, Justin Gaethje at UFC 291 -Gaethje decided he didn’t want to wait that long and knocked Dustin unconscious with a head kick. He won within the first minute of round 2, becoming the second BMF champion.

Gameplay updates
Reduced the muffling effect of attacks from inappropriate distances. For example, if you poke someone at close range, the damage of the incoming attack will be barely reduced. Fixed an issue where lead leg kick was too slow when used in a post-punch combo. Fixed an issue where all fighters could access the Low Single Leg Takedown instead of only those with a high enough Wrestling Takedown level. Fixed a rare bad situation where fighters could not attack with standing moves. Fixed a rare bad condition where players would get stuck between rounds.
Other additions and updates
Various new vanity rewards have been added.
