EA Sports UFC 5 Launches New Ultimate 90s Alter Egos
What Would Today’s UFC Stars Look Like If They Had Fought At UFC 1?
EA SPORTS UFC 5 is introducing a nostalgic twist just in time for the holiday season with the Ultimate 90s Alter Ego collection.
For the first time, UFC 5 ventures into the world of fictional characters, asking the question: What would today’s UFC stars look like if they had fought at UFC 1? This latest update offers fans a fresh and imaginative take, blending today's favorites with a retro look that goes back to the early days of MMA. Featuring new Alter Ego characters for Jon Jones, Sean O’Malley, and Valentina Shevchenko, this update reimagines these fighters in a 90s style, showcasing unique looks inspired by their backgrounds and personalities.
First in the lineup is Jon Jones, whose 90s inspired look pays homage to his college wrestling roots. This version of Jones is outfitted in red and black shorts with matching wrestling shoes capturing the athletic energy of his early competitive years. This Alter Ego transports Jones back to the basics, giving a glimpse of what he might have looked like stepping into an early UFC octagon.
Next up is “Suga” Sean O’Malley, known for his outgoing personality and colorful style. In this Ultimate 90s update, O’Malley’s Alter Ego doesn’t disappoint. Sporting a vibrant “Suga” tank top and pink karate pants with his hair dyed to match his tattoos, O’Malley’s colorful persona has been brought to life with some 90s flair.
Rounding out the Ultimate 90s Alter Ego update is Valentina Shevchenko, whose look takes inspiration from her early martial arts journey, specifically her Taekwondo background. She is outfitted in a traditional Gi, a nod to her disciplined journey in combat sports. Shevchenko began training at just five years old, and her 90s Alter Ego reflects her long-standing dedication to mastering her craft. This reimagining pays respect to her journey from a young martial arts prodigy to a seasoned UFC fighter.
The Ultimate 90s update for EA SPORTS UFC 5 celebrates the legacy of these modern UFC icons by blending their individual traits with old school designs. Fans can look forward to a playful, nostalgic experience as they explore this creative “What If?” scenario, seeing their favorite fighters through the lens of 90s UFC.
