In the highly-anticipated EA UFC 5, fans expressed their initial excitement upon witnessing the covers. Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko made their first entry as the covers of an official UFC game.

Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will make another entry into the franchise. Adesanya has a marketable personality and fighting style. This made EA Sports to make the official cover for the deluxe edition of the game. However, Volkanovski’s appearance on the poster caught the fans’ attention for the wrong reasons.

Volkanovski deserved his entry as the cover of the upcoming. Over the course of his career, he has amassed an outstanding fight record. However, many fans pointed out that designers did not quite nail the featherweight champion’s looks. Meanwhile, Shevchenko’s inclusion made history as she became the first female cover athlete since Ronda Rousey featured on EA UFC 2. Game developers have remained tight-lipped about specific details. However, the digital exclusivity of the game remains an intriguing aspect of the deluxe edition.
