The new update for EA UFC 6 drops on August 6 and it will feature UFC 330 content, which is good because that card is looking pretty shabby on paper. There’s also a mound of new gameplay tweaks coming to health and stamina, perks and flow states and general fixes. Last but not least, the new update will deliver two new fighters: Josh Hokit and Kyoji Horiguchi.
EA Sports UFC announced the update.

Hokit arrives with a real credential behind him. He beat Curtis Blaydes by decision at UFC 327 in a fight that set the all-time UFC heavyweight record for combined significant strikes, with 351 landed. Horiguchi trains in Florida alongside flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja.
On the stamina change, EA said it “will reward skillful play, being accurate, making the opponent miss,” pointing to a community complaint that stamina had been too plentiful and counter-punching too lightly rewarded.
