The character design of Max Holloway for UFC 5 has generated buzz around social media. The former featherweight champion appeared like a cartoon of a caveman in the new game. It is pertinent to mention that, later on, Max himself confirmed this was a fake image. The 31-year-old recently won the featherweight main event against The Korean Zombie in Singapore. The bout lasted until the third round when Holloway landed a perfect punch to win by TKO.

Speaking of the allegedly leaked image from the UFC game, several inaccuracies were spotted by fans, from his tattoos to his face. However, it is not the first time a video game has faced criticism for inaccurate caricatures of players. After all the controversy, Holloway posted it was a troll version, but when he thought this was real, he deleted it and confirmed it was fake.

Irrespective of all this design saga, excitement for UFC 5 has remained high. According to EA Sports, the game is set to be released on October 27. The fans surely want this new version to be a better version of UFC 4.

Interestingly, apart from Max Holloway, the MMA game will also feature boxing icons such as Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson in the octagon. On the standard edition’s cover, Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko will grace the cover.
