Check out the full patch notes here.

Roman Dolidze

EA Sports patch notes:

“Roman Dolidze (#11 MW) – Brutal best describes Roman Dolidze’s fighting style. In the clinch or on the ground, this Georgian powerhouse will not stop striking his opponent until they submit or go unconscious.”

Luana Pinheiro

EA Sports patch notes:

“Luana Pinheiro (#12 SW) – Luana made her name known in the UFC in a back-and-forth battle with UFC vet Michelle Waterson-Gomez. A Judoka with an aggressive fighting style, Luana will blitz with fast strikes to close the distance on her opponent and get them to the ground where she will systematically hunt for a submission to end the fight.”

Benoit Saint-Denis

EA Sports patch notes:

“Benoît Saint-Denis (#13 LW) – An all-action fighter boasting a UFC record of five wins with only two losses, with all five wins coming by finish. Benoît Saint-Denis does not know the meaning of the word quit. When BSD steps into the UFC 5 Octagon, WAR is coming with him!”

Anthony Hernandez

EA Sports patch notes:

Anthony Hernandez (#14 MW) – Don’t let his nickname fool you, nothing is “Fluffy” about Anthony Hernandez’s fighting style. This relentless wrestler will ragdoll his opponent around the Octagon until they only want one thing, a way out, and “Fluffy” is more than willing to give that to them in the form of a quick submission.”
