Ahead of a full-scale reveal later this week, Canadian publisher and developer, EA Sports have received flak for their apparent new character models on next generation video game consoles, ahead of the release of UFC 5 later this year.
Reports emerged late last month detailing how the publisher had decided on undisputed featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, and former undisptued flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko as the cover athletes for the new release of EA Sports UFC 5 later this year.
And furthermore, ahead of his own Octagon return at UFC 293 this weekend in Sydney, Australia, undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya – who featured as a cover athlete for EA Sports UFC 4, has returned to the cover, exclusively on the deluxe edition of the video game, however.
Reacting to the confirmation of the news, fans across social media have scoffed at apparent new character models created for EA Sports UFC 5 – particularly questioning the similarities and likeness of featherweight champion, Volkanovski, and his non-digitially created counterpart.
“The Great (shaking hands emoji) The Bullet,” EA Sports UFC posted on their official X account,” Your @UFC5 Standard Edition cover athletes Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko.”

Slated to make his return on the cover of EA Sports UFC 5 later this year, undisputed middleweight champion, Adesanya featured as a cover athlete on the prior instalment of the video game, alongside the recently-retired former two-time welterweight championship challenger, Jorge Masvidal.
Following his loss to Alex Pereira at UFC 281 back in November of last year, on digital versions of the video game, the Brazilian replaced Adesanya on the cover of EA Sports UFC 4 – before the City Kickboxing staple was reinstalled as the cover athlete after his own KO win over Pereira in April of this year.

Travelling to Australia this week ahead of his premier championship challenge under the banner of the UFC this weekend, surging middleweight contender, Sean Strickland has revealed he was already involved in an altercation with an overzealous fan of defending champion, Israel Adesanya.
Strickland, the current number four ranked middleweight contender, enters his championship tangle against City Kickboxing staple, Adesanya at UFC 293 this weekend off the back of a stunning second round TKO win over Abusupiyan Magomedov back in July of this year.
The Covina native added the German resident to a prior January decision win over French prospect, Nassourdine Imavov – in an impromptu light heavyweight matchup.
And travelling ‘Down Under’ for his championship foray with Adesanya, Strickland who remarked his confusion with the culture in the Oceanic country, also revealed he has committed a self-confessed assault on a fan of Adesanya, not long into his stay in Sydney.
“Initially, I thought the guy was coming up for a photo,” Sean Strickland told Fox Sports. “‘Izzy (Israel Adesanya) is gonna f*ck you up.’ Boom, [punched him] right in the guts.”
“I’d only been in Australia a day and already I’d committed an assault,” Sean Strickland explained. “If you wanna come up to me and run your f*cking mouth, I’ll smack you like I smack anybody else. Uppercut to his stomach. Then I walked away. But if I see the guy again, man, no problems… I thank him for not pressing charges.”
As for Adesanya, Strickland will come as the Nigerian-Kiwi’s first attempted title defense of the middleweight title as part of his second title reign, having reclaimed the throne in a thunderous second round KO win over arch-rival and common-foe, Alex Pereira back in April at UFC 287.

Reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya does not believe traditional school is beneficial to our children.
On Saturday night, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will return to the Octagon for a highly anticipated title tilt with outspoken top ten contender Sean Strickland. The pair will headline UFC 293, emanating from Qudos Bank Arena in Australia. It will be Adesanya’s first defense of the 185-pound crown since regaining the title in his rematch with longtime foe Alex Pereira at UFC 287.
Before stepping back into the cage, Israel Adesanya shared his candid opinion about the current education system courtesy of an interview clip shared by @CensoredMen on X (formerly Twitter).
“Honestly, f*ck school,” Adesanya said without hesitation. “I don’t why we still have this outdated concept of school to build workers. Because we know what the f*ck school was made for. Why are we pretending? We know school was created to create workers.
“What the f*ck is X? I’m still waiting. When in my life as an adult have I know what the f*ck X is? No f*cking idea. A lot of useless information got passed onto me and I sucked at school because I was sh*t at memorizing. I didn’t really learn anything. I dropped out. School doesn’t teach you much, honestly. It teaches you the basics. I understand math, English, comprehension, and that kind of stuff, but when you come to social studies and algebra and calculus, I’m like, are you going to use those in the real world? So f*ck school.
Israel Adesanya did not presume to know how to fix some of the issues he takes with the education system, but he already has a plan in place for how he would like to raise and educate his own children, making athletics just as important as academics.
“My plan is when I have kids, I’m going to have a tutor that’s going to teach them at home from say 9 a.m. to mid-day,” Adesanya said. “They’ll have an hour of homework and then the rest of the day we’ll just go have adventures. But then, they’re going to do gymnastics because I want to make sure they know their body. The foundation of athleticism. And jiu-jitsu so I know that they’re involved with other kids and not socially awkward.
“I want to make sure they have those skills by interacting with other kids through gymnastics and jiu-jitsu or other activities. But school, going in there, clocking in, and sitting down. Watching the teacher write some shit on the board. Nobody there is teaching. Literally, some of these people are there to just catch a paycheck and I’ve seen it. I was in school. You see them write the sh*t on the board. ‘Copy this.’”

Israel Adesanya is "rooting for" Khamzat Chimaev, but Paulo Costa is a "hard fight"

Announcing plans for a potential third outing this year ahead of his second walk this weekend at UFC 293, Adesanya has warned Chimaev about the ability of former foe, Paulo Costa ahead of his own respective return in October – however, expects him to eventually prevail with a win.
“I don’t know who’s going to win but I think if I’m favoring, I might be favoring Khamzat (Chimaev) a little bit more,” Israel Adesanya told MMA Fighting during a recent interview. “Because I like new blood.”
“I just made Paulo (Costa) look easy but trust me, he’s a hard fight,” Israel Adesanya explained. “He’s a hard fight but I made him look easy. But I think I’m rooting for Khamzat more in that fight.”
Slated to make his comeback fight at UFC 294 in October, Chimaev has been sidelined since he submitted Kevin Holland with a one-sided first round D’Arce choke submission win over the Californian striker in the co-main event of UFC 279 in September of last year.
Drawing Costa in his comeback to the Octagon, Chimaev has weighed up the pursuit of a middleweight title fight with Adesanya in the past, and is expected to land in and around championship contention with a successful outing against Brazilian rival, Costa in an October return.
