Pereira And Holloway Get Separate UFC 6 Covers
Pereira is a former UFC middleweight champion and two-time UFC light heavyweight champion. He is listed at 13-3 in MMA, with his latest listed bout a first-round TKO win over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 on October 4, 2025.
Holloway is a former UFC featherweight champion and former BMF titleholder. He is listed at 28-9 in MMA. His recent history also explains why some fans immediately brought up Ilia Topuria, who knocked out Holloway at UFC 308 on October 26, 2024.
Topuria is listed as the current UFC lightweight champion and previously held the UFC featherweight title. He is not part of EA’s first UFC 6 cover rollout.
EA’s game page describes the new title this way:
“UFC 6 is powered by fighters. Evolved striking and motion systems bring UFC stars to life in the Octagon, while new game modes introduce immersive storytelling that makes every fight feel personal. Square up and fight your fight.”
The Standard Edition includes the base game and an Iconic Moments Bundle. The Ultimate Edition lists seven days of early access from June 12-18, a Fighter Pass with 8 UFC Legends, an Expansion Pass, VIP Pass, Rivalry Bundle, and 500 UFC Points.
EA’s current preorder page lists console versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version is listed there.
