Want to finally get good? Start using these fighters.


  • UFC 4’s roster is an expansive one, and it can be difficult to know what characters to go for if you want to consistently demolish the competition. Luckily for you, we’ve put together a list of the most effective fighters to choose, with a variety of different styles too! Time to pick your new favourite.

10. Petr Yan

This clip highlights the combination ability of Petr Yan.

UFC 4’s online meta is very striking heavy, and there is no fighter better suited than the boxing savant Petr Yan. His combinations are very effective, covering distance with phenomenal speed and power while also having incredible head movement. What’s not to like?

 

9. Conor McGregor

In this video, Conor's striking ability is demonstrated. Perfect for knocking out your friends!

 The poster boy of the UFC, Conor’s long-range striking within UFC 4 allows you to pick apart any opponent with ease. His lengthy boxing skills, unorthodox kicks and strong anti-grappling skillset make fighting an experienced Conor player a nightmare of a task. Plus, he’s got some cool taunts.

 

8. Jose Aldo

Aldo's leg kicks are the stuff of legend, and the game knows it, as shown in this match above.

 A leg kicker’s dream, choosing Jose Aldo will allow you to start decimating foes with sublime leg kicks and impeccable leg kick defence. This, coupled with Jose’s strong boxing, make him difficult to deal with as he unloads varied combinations.

 

7. Sean O’Malley

If knocking people out spectacularly is your thing, watch this video.

 If you’re a fan of unconventional, long-range striking, O’Malley is the choice for you. His kicks are lightning fast, and his size advantage over the other fighters in the bantamweight division allows him to dictate range with ease. Even his submissions can catch an unexpected player off guard.

 

6. Alexander Volkanovski

Volkanovski is the choice if you want to master everything, as this player shows.

 Being well-rounded is key. And no one does it better than Volkanovski. His boxing, leg kicks, offensive wrestling and speed are all incredible, allowing an experienced player to mix it up effectively and dictate the pace. 

 

5. Charles Oliviera

Finishing ability everywhere if you play as Charles, as the clip highlights.

Power, submission ability, striking variety. Charles has a lot of everything, and it allows you to be more than capable no matter where the fight goes. No one will dare to try to take you down, unless they want to get wrapped up in a triangle.

 

4. Israel Adesanya 

Izzy can control range masterfully, which this player shows.

 Long-range striking is everything here. Adesanya’s lengthy frame coupled with his incredible kicking ability allow him to dictate the range. If an unsuspecting opponent gets a bit too close, his head movement allows him to decimate foes with lethal counter striking on the inside. 

 

3. Valentina Shevchenko

Knockouts, submissions, wrestling. Valentina can do it all.

 She can do a bit of everything. Valentina has a vast, dominant wrestling game with a variety of submissions, while also being a savant on the feet. Her kicking skillset is wide and allows her to chew opponents up on the outside while being more than prepared for the mat.

 

2. Robert Whittaker

Whittaker's boxing is his specialty, shown by this player's gameplay.

 Speed is king. Whittaker’s speed in striking gives him an incredible advantage in the middleweight division. His offensive wrestling is superb too, and his well-roundedness makes it very hard to pinpoint faults in his game.

 

1. Max Holloway

Holloway is basically unstoppable, as this video emphasises. How do you stop him?

Imagine having boxing, kicking, submissions, takedowns and sublime head movement in one toolkit. Then imagine pairing that with an unbreakable chin. Max Holloway is an incredibly difficult task for anyone, and his character can rarely be hurt. How do you beat that?
