EA Sports UFC 5 is set to release in late October 2023 and information about the game keeps on taking social media by storm. Its latest leak suggests how the TKO stoppage is going to take place in the game. However, it has left some fans utterly disappointed.
As it was previously rumored, UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was revealed to be the cover face of the UFC 5 Deluxe Edition. On the other hand, former UFC Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and current UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski feature in the standard edition.

Reports suggest that the new game has introduced many new features such as “Cinematic K.O. Replays for those epic fight conclusions, Doctor’s Checks to assess injuries, fresh Strikes and Hit Reactions, Seamless Submissions, and the immersive Fight Week experience featuring Alter Egos.”
These enhancements that have been added to the UFC 5 were set to bring fresh air to it. However, leaked footage has ruined the excitement of fans.
Fans left disappointed as UFC 5 leaked clip is “same as UFC 4”
Leaked footage of the UFC 5 TKO stoppage has been released on X (formerly known as Twitter) as well as Reddit. Fans on both platforms have noticed the similarity between UFC 5 and UFC 4. They have not hesitated in calling out EA Sports for this.
One fan on X commented, “So the exact same as UFC 4? All of these games are literally reskins I can’t even see a difference.”

One fan on Reddit gave their complete understanding of how the ground game has not changed.
They wrote, “I like the smooth transition from when Herb comes in to stop the fight. But the Ground game looks identical to UFC 4, animations too. I understand its an early build. But from the dev interviews on YT, It sounds they didn’t change anything with the ground game. So it makes me believe they didn’t do shit with the ground game. 3 F**KING YEARS EA…….”
An important point stated in this comment is that this is an early build. As stated in the Reddit post, the leaked footage is from a build earlier this year. There are chances that the game has got better and developers have worked on it. It should also be noted that no official source has posted it. So, we should wait for more information from official sources and hope for the best.
