Electronic Arts is a giant video game company that is a leader in sports titles, thanks to the fact that it has a lot of licenses from organizations around the world. One of them is that of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the highest mixed martial arts (MMA) company. However, the most renowned fighter in this discipline believes that the current game in the series is “garbage”.
Of course, we are talking about Conor McGregor, an Irish fighter who became the first to hold the belt in the lightweight and featherweight categories. Among many other achievements, they earned him the appearance on the cover of the 2 video games UFC 2 Y UFC 3.

Conor McGregor believes that the current EA Sports UFC it’s rubbish
Despite this, McGregor took advantage of the last days of the year to attack Electronic Arts via Twitter, saying that the current game of the franchise, EA Sports UFC 4it is “garbage”, not like the first ones, which “were the best”.
The license for the UFC games belonged to THQ, but in 2014 Electronic Arts took over the reins of the franchise, after THQ went bankrupt, so the last 4 installments have been run by EA.
Apparently the fighter has not liked how Electronic Arts has handled the series since then. Let’s remember that the last game in which McGregor appeared on the cover was UFC 3which debuted in 2018. Furthermore, by consensus, it is considered that EA Sports UFC 2 It is the favorite of the fans of this sport.
In case you missed it: Electronic Arts lost the FIFA license, but will continue to make soccer games under another name.
In his statements, McGregor did not specify which early UFC games he is referring to: the ones made by THQ or the original ones by EA Sports. However, apparently it is the latter, since he accompanied his opinion with an image in which he is seen playing UFC 2 alongside KSI at a distant press event on the occasion of the title’s premiere.
Curiously, EA Sports UFC 4 It’s not a bad title judging by the reviews on Metacritic, which are around 80%. In LEVEL UP we rate it with an 8.5 and we highlight its visual section and its fluid movement and physics.
