UFC Career — MMA Fighter Your octagon. Your legacy. Your GOAT story. From unknown to UFC Champion — every punch, takedown, and submission is YOUR decision. This is the most immersive MMA career simulator ever built for mobile. BUILD YOUR FIGHTER FROM SCRATCH Choose your background — Boxer, Wrestler, BJJ Specialist, or Kickboxer — and mold your fighter across 11 attributes. Every training session matters. Every recovery week counts. Push too hard and you're injured. Play it safe and your rivals pass you by. FEEL EVERY FIGHT This isn't tap-and-pray. When the moment comes — a submission attempt, a knockdown, a KO shot — YOU take control. Real-time minigames put your fate in your hands. Escape that rear-naked choke. Finish the fight when your opponent is rocked. Heart-pounding finishes every single time. Your fighter’s attributes directly influence the difficulty and duration of each challenge, creating realistic advantages and disadvantages against different opponents. There is no random winner: if neither fighter secures a finish, the victory goes to the fighter who performed better throughout the fight and controlled the action most effectively, just like a real judges’ decision. THE GRIND IS REAL Start in the regional circuit. Impress the scouts. Land that Contender Series contract. Then survive the UFC — where every opponent is elite and one bad night can derail everything. Manage your finances, negotiate contracts, cut weight, and build rivalries that shake the entire division. BECOME THE GOAT Multiple careers. One Hall of Fame. Compete on the global leaderboard for the greatest UFC record of all time. Wins, losses, title defenses, championship reigns — every stat tells your story. Will you dominate one weight class or chase glory across them all? EVERY DECISION MATTERS * • 8 weight classes from Flyweight to Heavyweight • Train 11 unique fighter attributes • Real weight cuts with consequences — miss weight and pay the price • Injuries that can derail your title shot • Rivalries, title reigns, and main event appearances • Global leaderboard — prove you're the best in the world The cage is waiting. Are you ready to answer the call?
