New Alter Egos:

August 14

Paddy Pimblett (UFC 304) (LW) – A callback to one of Paddy’s favorite PRIDE FC fighters. The King in the North is coming off a fresh UFC 304 win with some fresh and fun custom shorts.

Forrest Griffin (TUF 1) (2005) (LHW) – One of the very first TUF champions, Forrest’s TUF 1 Finale fight thrust the UFC into the mainstream.

Diego Sanchez (TUF 1) (2005) (WW) – The very first TUF champion. Diego “The Nightmare” Sanchez would go on to have many epic clashes inside the Octagon but this is where it all started.

Rashad Evans (TUF 2) (2005) (HW) – “Suga” Rashad Evans was a natural light heavyweight who took on some truly giant heavyweights in the second season of The Ultimate Fighter and came out as the winner in the TUF 2 Finale. Rashad proves that size does not matter if you’ve got heart and the will to win.

Leon Edwards (2024) (UFC 304) (WW) – Leon rocked these custom fight shorts at UFC 304. Emblazoned with the Jamaican and Union Jack Flags, these shorts pay tribute to his place of birth and adopted home.

August 20

Alex Pereira (2024) (UFC 303) (LHW) – The Number 2 Pound for Pound fighter in the world blew the roof off of UFC 303 by delivering another highlight reel finish while sporting the same custom shorts he debuted at UFC 300. The shorts are a callback to his indigenous roots that represent the Pataxó culture and people. This Alter Ego of Alex will have his in-game stats updated to reflect his win at UFC 303 and will now sport the gold gloves befitting a champion.

August 27

Ian Garry (2024) (UFC 303) (WW) – At UFC 303, Ian Machado Garry debuted his custom purple fight shorts and took home a W that night. These custom shorts worn by the UFC 303 Alter Ego of Ian Garry serve as a callback to his early days fighting on the regional circuits in the same color shorts. “The Future” is looking bright and so are his custom shorts!

Gameplay Updates

Fixed an issue that made the special lead hook block counter too slow and allowed opponents to partially block it in some weight classes.
Fixed an issue that allowed fighters to walk unrealistically while recovering from stationary sways.
Fixed an issue that allowed the Body Crane Kick to track side lunges.

General Updates

Addressed an exploit that allowed players to view their opponent’s selected fighter before the start of an online ranked match. The issue was addressed by reducing the time allowed to lock in your fight during the fighter selection phase.
