The cosmetic drops follow the game's first major post-launch gameplay update, which introduced three new fighters, Fight Week content, extensive balancing changes across striking and grappling, and updates to more than 20 gameplay perks.

With McGregor vs. Holloway finally set to run back after more than a decade, EA Sports is leaning into the excitement by giving players a chance to relive both the past and present inside the virtual Octagon.
