UFC 6 Reveals Alex Pereira & Max Holloway as Cover Stars and Release Date for New Video Game

The UFC tabbed two of its most popular superstars to grace the covers of the latest installment of its famed video game series.

On Monday, it was announced that the cover athletes for EA Sports UFC 6, which releases on June 19, will be former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira on the Standard Edition and former BMF champion Max Holloway on the Ultimate Edition:

EA Sports UFC 6 will be released on June 19 and is available for pre-order now. Fans who purchase early access can experience the game a week early from June 12-18. Both editions feature an "Iconic Moments Bundle" pre-order bonus with three fighter skins.

The Ultimate Edition can include the Rivalry Bundle with two fighter skins and 500 UFC points, the VIP Pass with additional fighter skins and VIP cosmetic items, the Expansion Pass with new modes coming in winter 2026 and summer 2027, and the Fighter Pass with two UFC legends included at launch and six added in the future.

Pereira vacated his light heavyweight championship for the opportunity to face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight championship at the Freedom 250 event at the White House on June 14. If he wins, he will become the first fighter in UFC history to ever hold a title in three different divisions, as he is also a former middleweight champion.

Holloway lost his BMF championship to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 last month in a one-sided affair. Despite the setback, he hasn't lost his stature within the company, as he's been rumored to be a potential opponent for Conor McGregor's highly anticipated return fight this summer.

Landing on the covers for EA Sports UFC 6 is another milestone for Pereira and Holloway in their respective legendary careers.
