New fighters

Carlos Prates
- One of two “Fighting Nerds” coming into UFC 5. Carlos made a splash in the UFC by KOing opponents in the second round and has since racked up two more KO victories. Prates' fighting style is Muay Thai through and through, he uses each of his eight limbs to devastate his opponents until they can't stand him anymore and decide to shoot and take down, but then it's too late and the next thing they know they're looking at the referee and asking with what happened Accurate quick striking, clean footwork and good takedown defense are what you get with Prates in UFC 5.
Jean Silva
- To say Jean Silva is a wild man is an understatement, just look at his post-fight debut barking at the camera after knocking out an opponent in the first round or the war he had in his last fight with the ultra-tough Drew Dober . “Lord” can be a bit wild, but he's also well-rounded, strong and can take a hit, two or three. Silva is also on a three-fight winning streak in the UFC, which is a testament to his team and training with the Fighting Nerds. Powerful punches and kicks and stellar takedown defense round out Silva's UFC 5 game.

Game update

Fixed an issue that allowed a submissive fighter to immediately pop up from the ground and pound after a dive or when a dominant fighter transitioned into a hold after diving for a cage knockdown.
