EA has recently announced the introduction of the great Muhammad Ali in the latest teaser of the highly anticipated UFC 5. Not only Ali, but other boxing legends like Mike Tyson and Fedor Emelianenko will be available as playable characters in the game.

Not only that, the pre-order bonus will offer an online career mode XP boost and the 30th Anniversary Vanity Bundle, which packs four extra in-game cosmetics. Last but not least, players will get three days of early access to the full game as a reward for pre-ordering.

This edition of UFC is going to be the biggest of its series so far. This will be the first instance in this MMA simulation series that a game of this franchise is to be released on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
