Game company Electronic Arts officially revealed upcoming sports video game EA Sports UFC 4.
EA revealed the game’s official cover athlete duo, which are UFC welterweight contender Jorge “Gamebred” Masdival and middleweight champion Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya. The upcoming new title will bring a new experience that puts player and their created fighter at the center of the action.
The upcoming game will feature an all-new unified progression system, overhauled takedown and ground mechanics, more fluid clinch-to-strike combinations, and the chance to experience the origins of combat sports in all-new environments. The fourth title will deliver the most polished mixed martial arts experience to date. Pre-ordering the game will get players the bonus of getting world heavyweight boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury on day one.
UFC President Dana White stated:
EA SPORTS UFC 4 is the best fighting game ever made. Fans can play in the top arenas, as well as in Backyard and Kumite environments. This game allows you to play with the top athletes in UFC history, plus legends like Bruce Lee and boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. It’s crazy how good this game is.
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya says:
I am the face of the new wave of UFC fighters, so it feels right to represent the sport on this new generation UFC game. I look forward to my fans playing as me as much as I have enjoyed playing as myself.

Players can developer and customize characters through a unified progression system across all modes to go from unknown amateur to UFC superstar in new Career Mode. Four new environments will be introduced like The Kumite, The Backyard, UFC Apex and Action Avenue, challenge the world in new Blitz Battles or Online World Championships.
