UFC 5: A Knockout Game in the Making

Baron Corbin

Fight fans, get ready to rumble! The highly anticipated UFC 5 is currently in production, and the release date is just around the corner. Following the success of its predecessor, UFC fans have high hopes for this upcoming installment, which promises to be one of the most complete and exciting UFC games in recent memory.

But wait, there’s more! In a surprising turn of events, the giant of wrestling, WWE, has merged with UFC to form TKO Group Holdings. This unexpected development opens up the possibility of some exciting cross-over action between the two sports. Imagine your favorite WWE stars stepping into the UFC Octagon and going toe to toe with some of the top athletes. It’s a gamer’s dream come true!

Now, let’s take a look at some of the WWE stars who have the potential to shine in UFC 5:

10. Baron Corbin

Having shed his Happy Corbin persona, Baron Corbin is reclaiming his lone wolf status, which brought him success in the WWE ring. While Baron Corbin may not be the first name that comes to mind for inclusion in UFC 5, his boxing accolades should not be overlooked. As a two-time Golden Gloves boxing champion and a multi-sport athlete, Corbin could surprise us with his skills inside the UFC cage.

9. Sonya Deville

Sonya Deville, known for her versatility in the WWE, has a lesser-known background in professional MMA. Prior to joining the WWE, Deville had a few professional MMA fights with an impressive record of 2-1, including wins via technical knockout and submission. With her well-rounded skill set, Deville could be a hidden gem in UFC 5 if WWE decides to push for some of their stars to be included.

8. Chad Gable

Highly regarded among wrestling fans, Chad Gable is not only an underrated entertainer but also a formidable athlete. Before joining the WWE, Gable had a successful career as an Olympic wrestler, representing the US in freestyle wrestling. With his impressive wrestling background, Gable would be a perfect fit for UFC 5, as wrestlers have a history of success in the cage.

7. Shayna Baszler

From putting opponents to sleep with devastating chokes to a stint on The Ultimate Fighter as part of Ronda Rousey’s team, Shayna Baszler has a solid foundation in professional mixed martial arts. Although her time in the UFC was not as successful as she had hoped, Baszler’s skills should not be underestimated. While her appearance in UFC 5 may be less likely due to her short time in the company, the merger between WWE and UFC could make it a tantalizing possibility.

6. Roman ReGameTopics

Roman ReGameTopics, the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, has been a dominant force in the WWE for over a decade. Known for his incredible storytelling and unbeatable record, ReGameTopics is undoubtedly one of the company’s biggest stars. Given the recent merger between WWE and UFC, it would be fitting to have ReGameTopics represent the WWE in UFC 5. While his martial arts skills might require a touch of imagination, his arsenal would surely include a devastating Superman Punch.

5. Matt Riddle

Before becoming the Original Bro, Matt Riddle made a name for himself as a professional mixed martial artist, even competing in the UFC and appearing on The Ultimate Fighter. After a successful career in the UFC, Riddle made a smooth transition to the WWE, showcasing his talents in NXT. With his previous appearances in the UFC, there’s a good chance we’ll see Riddle as a playable fighter in UFC 5.

4. Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley, known for his intimidating physique and elite athleticism, has excelled both in MMA and the WWE. With an impressive record of 15-2 in MMA, Lashley’s fighting skills are unquestionable. However, his previous affiliation with Bellator, UFC’s main competitor, could be a stumbling block to his appearance in UFC 5. Nevertheless, with the recent merger, including The Almighty in the game would be a thrilling novelty.

3. Logan Paul

Logan Paul’s popularity as a social media sensation has opened doors to various athletic opportunities. Despite debates about his credentials as a wrestler or boxer, Paul has gone toe to toe with Floyd Mayweather and made appearances at WrestleMania. What makes him an intriguing candidate for UFC 5 is his business relationship with the UFC, as a sponsor with his energy drink brand, Prime. With his WWE contract and UFC event sponsorships, don’t be surprised if Logan Paul steps into the UFC Octagon as a playable fighter or DLC.

2. Ronda Rousey

As a pioneer of women’s MMA and the first-ever woman to hold a championship in the UFC, Ronda Rousey has had an undeniable impact on both the UFC and WWE. Despite her polarizing run as a professional wrestler, her involvement in both companies cannot be overlooked. With her time in the WWE possibly coming to an end, it would be a travesty not to include Rousey in UFC 5. She truly deserves a spot in the game.

1. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar, the ultimate athlete, has achieved the remarkable feat of holding championships in both the UFC and WWE. As one of the scariest-looking athletes to step foot in the cage and wrestling ring, Lesnar’s freakish physique and elite athleticism propelled him to the top of the food chain in both sports. With Lesnar’s impact on both companies and his previous appearances in their games, it’s safe to say that he is a guaranteed inclusion in UFC 5.

The countdown to UFC 5 is on, and we can’t wait to step into the virtual Octagon and experience the thrill of these incredible athletes in action. Stay tuned for the official release date announcement in September 2023.
