UFC 5 – UFC 302 Update

  • 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 (#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.
  • 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 (#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.

Regarding the notable gameplay adjustments in this update, we've addressed an issue that allowed players to partially block the special lead hook block counter, fixed a rare strike-tracking issue against the head movement that distorted the strike trajectory and led to unfair hits, and fixed an inconsistency with the advancing lead hook to straight combo, when performed with the Celtic Cross.
