2. Fighter Pass (Ken Shamrock + Randy Couture): If you’re a die-hard MMA fan, the Fighter Pass included with your Ultimate Edition is something you won’t want to miss. It will add 8 additional fighters to the UFC 6 roster: 2 UFC Legends will be unlocked at the start of early access, with 6 more arriving at a later date.

Let’s talk about those two UFC Legends:

For the first time in EA SPORTS UFC History, two UFC Hall of Fame Legends make their debut in UFC 6:

  • Randy Couture: Known as "The Natural", Randy was the first fighter in UFC history to hold championship titles in two different weight divisions: Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight. Couture also holds the record as the oldest fighter to win a UFC title (at 43) and the oldest to defend one successfully (at 44). To quote the legend himself, “Not bad for an old man”.
  • Ken Shamrock: Can you even be considered a die-hard MMA fan if you don’t know about "The World's Most Dangerous Man”? From his legendary rivalries inside the octagon to becoming the first Superfight Champion (A precursor to the UFC Heavyweight Championship). Ken’s legacy is forever etched into the UFC Hall of Fame.

With your Fighter Pass enabled, the remaining fighters will be added to your UFC 6 roster with every major content update. Follow our social channels and blog to stay updated on when they go live.

The Ultimate Value for UFC 6

When we set out to create the Ultimate Edition of UFC 6, our goal was not only to honor the legacy of combat sports but to deliver meaningful extra content that adds real value to your experience. From legendary Hall of Famers in the Fighter Pass to future expansions filled with new content and unexpected surprises, this is more than a collection of cosmetic add-ons. These are fully realized fighters with distinct playstyles, along with expansions designed to deepen the experience and keep the action going long after launch.

The Ultimate Edition also gives you the chance to step into the Octagon early and experience why we believe MMA is the greatest sport in the world. Feel the pressure rise with every walkout, the intensity build with every exchange, and the stakes hit harder with every moment in the cage. In UFC 6, every fighter has a unique identity, every battle tells its own story, and no two fights ever play out the same.

There is no better time than now to secure your pre-order for Ultimate Edition.
