NEW ROSTERED FIGHTERS UPDATE
GABRIEL BONFIM
&q=40)
Pro MMA Record: 20-1-0 | 8 First Round Finishes
Division / UFC Ranking: Welterweight, #5
Bio: A fast-rising welterweight from Brazil who is known for his well-rounded MMA game and finishing ability. Bonfim is a former champion in other organizations who earned his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series. He has scored notable wins over several established UFC fighters and, most recently, a former UFC Welterweight Champion.
His inclusion in UFC 6 brings an exciting, well-rounded competitor to the welterweight division, giving you a fighter capable of finishing opponents with both striking and grappling.
UFC 6 Keys to Victory:
- PRESSURE WITH PURPOSE – Close the distance with aggressive combinations, keep opponents on the back foot, and create openings for takedowns.
- CONTROL THE GROUND GAME – Use control and ground-and-pound to wear opponents down, open up submission opportunities, and dictate the pace of the fight.
- HUNT FOR THE SUBMISSION – Use Bonfim’s elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu to threaten submissions at every opportunity.
JOSELYNE EDWARDS
&q=40)
Pro MMA Record: 18-6-0 | 2 First Round Finishes
Division / UFC Ranking: Women's Bantamweight, #2
Bio: Hailing from Panama, “La Pantera” is known for her aggressive striking and constant forward pressure. Edwards made history as the first Panamanian woman to compete in the UFC and has earned victories by KO and submission. Racking up wins over rising contenders and wily veterans, she climbed to No. 2 in the UFC women’s bantamweight rankings in 2026.
Her inclusion in UFC 6 brings an explosive, fast-paced striker to the women’s bantamweight division, giving players a fighter who works best moving forward and can finish fights on the feet or on the ground.
UFC 6 Keys to Victory:
- UNLEASH THE STRIKING – Use La Pantera’s aggressive kickboxing and combinations to pressure opponents and create opportunities for KOs.
- KEEP THE FIGHT AT YOUR RANGE – Take advantage of Joselyne’s reach; use long-range attacks to control distance and punish opponents trying to close in.
- STAY DANGEROUS EVERYWHERE – Mix in takedowns and submission threats when opportunities arise to keep opponents guessing and prevent them from settling into their rhythm.

BENSON HENDERSON (UFC 144 - 2012)
&q=40)
Pro MMA Record: 15-2-0
Bio: Benson “Smooth” Henderson made a statement at UFC 144, defeating Frankie Edgar by unanimous decision to capture the UFC Lightweight Championship and earn Fight of the Night honors. Known for his dynamic striking, innovative kicking game, and high-level grappling, Henderson is one of the defining lightweight champions of his era and a pioneer of the lighter weight classes.
Benson’s inclusion in the UFC 6 Fighter Pass celebrates a legend of the sport. It allows players to step into the Octagon with an elite, well-rounded competitor and relive one of the sport’s most exciting eras.
UFC 6 Keys to Victory:

GAMEPLAY UPDATES
TUNING
- Improved the responsiveness of the Ground Game:
- After canceling animations in the Ground Game, fighters can now act sooner after faking transitions.
- After going from Ground and Pound (postured positions) to the Ground Game (tight positions), Fighters can act immediately after completing Ground and Pound transition outcomes: posture breaks, posture downs, transitions, sweeps, reversals, and elbows.
Developer comment: These changes are a follow-up to the ground responsiveness improvements of the last two patches. All facets of the Ground Game are now more seamless.

&q=40)
- Tuned Heavy Roundhouse Kicks and Calf Kicks to improve their utility:
- Increased their Speed by 2 frames.
- Decreased their Base Damage slightly.
Developer comment: There has been feedback about these Heavy Variants being an inferior option - their extra power is too hard to apply because the kicks are too slow and hard to land. As such, we are making them less extreme: faster but not as powerful. Naturally, they remain slower and more powerful than the Fast Variant. Furthermore, these changes are a net buff, as the reduction in power is ** lower than the increase in speed. For instance, a kick that gains 9% speed loses only 6% power. This favorable proportion applies to all the kicks being changed.
&q=40)
- Reduced the Anvil Flow State Damage and Duration bonuses from 35% to 25%.
Developer comment: Anvil is among the Flow States that can greatly benefit combos and lead to big pay-offs with relative ease. It was overperforming. The Anvil Flow State has been rebalanced to align with the design ranges of other flow states.
