One of the strengths of UFC 4 has nothing to do with gameplay or career mode. MMA and UFC fans can choose a fighter to use in UFC 4 from a list of over 100 contestants who are currently active (as well as inactive, in the case of Legends) in the UFC, and can build long-awaited rematch, as well as dreamy superfights.
Want to see who comes out on top in a rematch between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor? You can simulate it in UFC 4. What about a superfight between Georges St. Pierre and Isreal Adesanya? You can create a lot of potential matches, but what about Openweight matches? Can you create Openweight matches in UFC 4? The answer to this question is yes, and here is how you can achieve it.
First of all, you need to go to the home screen and select Fight Now. From there, you'll see a series of match parameters that you can set for your fight, such as how many rounds you want to go, as well as which arena you want to use. When you see this screen, scroll down until you see the Weight Class setting and select it. You will see two options: Strict and Combined. When set to Strict, fighters can only access people within their weight class. When set to combined, fighters will be able to select other fighters from other weight categories. To create an Openweight fight, make sure this parameter is set combined. From there, you can choose any fighter from any class.
So if you've ever wanted to see what a big, bad heavyweight like Stipe Miocic could do against a featherweight like Jose Aldo, now is your chance to see what that would look like.
