  • George St. Pierre (2017) Even after four years away, up a weight class, and fighting for the title in The World’s Most Famous Arena, Georges St. Pierre wouldn’t be swayed or denied. A picture-perfect counter left floored middleweight champ Michael Bisping in the third round, and it was only a matter of time before the Welterweight GOAT grabbed his opponent’s neck and the strap. 
  • Kamaru Usman (UFC 268) Well on his way to establishing himself as one of the best Welterweights to ever walk this earth, Kamaru Usman would once more have to defend his title against bitter rival Colby Covington. While he wouldn’t get the finish like in their first meeting, this close but clear decision victory for the “Nigerian Nightmare” solidified him as a divisional great.
  • TJ Dillashaw (UFC 217) A heated, personal rivalry with former teammate and then Bantamweight champ Cody “No Love” Garbrandt would come to a quick and violent head as former Bantamweight king TJ Dillashaw reclaimed his crown by TKO in the second round. Dillashaw the second of three new champions named on that fateful night in the Garden.

The team released UFC 5 patch 1.16 last week, adding a couple of fighters, gameplay updates and enhancements tailored for users that picked up the PlayStation 5 Pro. In case you missed it you can view the details here.
