Today Electronic Arts officially revealed EA SPORTS UFC 3 featuring UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, the only UFC athlete to hold UFC titles in two weight classes simultaneously, as the game’s official global cover athlete. The game introduces a new generation of fighting for fight fans powered by Real Player Motion (RPM) Tech, a revolutionary new gameplay animation technology that delivers the most fluid and responsive motion in EA SPORTS UFC history.
“Two belts, two covers-EA SPORTS got it right again. It’s an honour to be on the cover and I can’t wait to play the game,” said UFC Lightweight Champion, Conor McGregor.
Real Player Motion (RPM) Tech is a revolutionary new EA SPORTS animation technology that sets a new bar for motion and responsiveness in the best-looking – and now the best-feeling – EA SPORTS UFC game ever.

Every punch, kick, block, and counter has been recaptured and rebuilt on cutting-edge animation tech to look and feel life-like and responsive, delivering the most strategic, competitive fighting experience in franchise history.
“UFC 3 and RPM Tech mark a new generation of gameplay in EA SPORTS games. The new animation technology has allowed us to take a massive leap forward in motion and responsiveness. The result is a complete overhaul to gameplay where every move is more strategic and looks more authentic and beautiful,” said EA SPORTS UFC 3 Creative Director, Brian Hayes.
