UFC 6 trailer sees Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira’s return against Ciryl Gane

EA Sports UFC 6 has released its first trailer, showcasing several highly anticipated matchups.

Last month, Alex Pereira and Max Holloway were confirmed as the game’s cover stars ahead of its 19 June release date.

The so-called “cover curse” is already being talked about, especially with the game dropping so soon after the White House event, where Pereira is a major part of the build-up.

This comes just days after Holloway’s fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, where ‘Blessed’ delivered one of the year’s best knockouts to claim the BMF title at lightweight. UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso will feature as a special guest commentator for women’s fights in UFC 6.

While Tyson Fury and Muhammad Ali were available as pre-order bonuses for UFC 5, Amanda Serrano and Claressa Shields are expected to be added through post-launch updates this time around. The full roster will be revealed over the next few weeks before pre-orders open on May 31 for PlayStation and Xbox Series X/S.

As both fighters appear on the EA Sports UFC 6 cover, it’s no surprise that Alex Pereira and Max Holloway feature prominently in the game’s debut trailer.

The promo kicks off with a simulated fight between Holloway and Conor McGregor, a rematch reportedly being lined up for the main event of UFC 329 in July.

In the opening segment, Holloway drops and finishes ‘The Notorious’, avenging his previous loss to one of MMA’s most recognisable names.

Later in the video, Pereira secures a similar outcome against his next opponent, Ciryl Gane. The footage shows Gane initially having the upper hand before ‘Poatan’ turns things around.

Pereira’s turnaround is highlighted by an enthusiastic call from commentator Jon Anik as he lands the decisive blow against Gane.

The trailer also showcases several new cutscenes for career mode and brief highlights from other matchups across the game. In one sequence, Ilia Topuria is seen landing heavy punches against Justin Gaethje, Paddy Pimblett, and Arman Tsarukyan—although some fans expected him to be on the cover instead.

The closing shots feature Randy Couture, who will be available as a pre-order bonus through the fighter pass.
