Although not a high-ranked fighter, Ruffy is slowly building up an impressive resume. At the time of writing he has no scheduled fight so far. But we expect to see him back in action soon enough.

Fun Fact: his moniker Ruffy was given to him by his brother, and was inspired by One Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy.

Overall, the update’s patch notes mention a few notable changes. Firstly, there was a big focus TJ Dillashaw. Essentially, the developers fixed a couple issues with the fighter, which should lead to less issues. Another fix includes one to his animation during his Signature Lunges.

Furthermore, the update addresses some minor bugs, like rare camera and crashing issues. Essentially, the experience should be a bit smoother with hopefully less crashing. Additionally, the update mentions new and upcoming Alter Egos, which are coming to the game on April 8th, 2025. Lastly, all active fighters will now wear the pre-Apri 2024 Official UFC gloves to heighten the authenticity.

Overall, that includes everything you need to know about the UFC 5 Update 1.21 Patch Notes. We look forward to trying out Ruffy in this exciting new update. Hope you enjoy the latest update!
