UFC 5 roster
UFC 5 launched on 27 October, and we have had access to the official UFC 5 roster for around a month now. The UFC 5 roster is filled with great fighters, with current-day superstars such as Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya, or some of the GOATs of the sport such as Anderson Silva or Georges St. Pierre.
There are plenty of fighters available, but despite that fans weren't really happy with the UFC 5 roster. The UFC community complained about the lack of new fighters in the game and even pointed out that some currently high-ranked fighters aren't in the title.
Fortunately, the UFC 5 dev team quickly addressed this problem and answered all the complaints fans had about the game's roster. Starting in December, UFC 5 will add new fighters each month, furthermore, they will listen to the community feedback to choose which fighters to add.
This is all part of the Fight Week live program, which will also bring fans new Alter Ego fighters every month. Alter Ego fighters are unique versions of top fighters.
So, we can expect the UFC 5 roster to be in continued expansion, with new fighters entering the game every month. This will ensure the UFC 5 roster is always up to date, and that it's also the most complete roster of any title in the franchise.
You can take a look at the full UFC 5 roster below, including the fighters that will be added to the game in the months to come.
There are 108 total fighters including two new fighters joining UFC 5! However, as was mentioned above, more fighters will be added in the upcoming months.
