Alexander Volkanovski, Valentina Shevchenko set as ‘EA UFC 5’ cover athletes; Israel Adesanya gets special edition
The cover athletes are set for the next iteration of the UFC video game.
The primary edition of “EA UFC 5,” which is set to release later this year, will see featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and former women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko share the cover space.
A special deluxe edition of the game will feature middleweight champion Israel Adesanya on the cover. It will be the second time Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) is on the cover of the game. He was featured on “EA UFC 4” alongside Jorge Masvidal.
Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) will get his first cover spot, while Shevchenko (23-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) becomes the first female cover athlete since Ronda Rousey on “EA UFC 2.”
