Unlocking the Power of Alternate Arenas in UFC 5

The UFC has made significant progress since its initial days when it faced prohibition in 50 states. It has played a crucial role in making mixed martial arts a well-recognized and mainstream combat sport, hosting events at prestigious venues like Madison Square Garden and the MGM Grand. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that UFC 5 comprises a range of renowned arenas as well as some lesser-known ones.

Nonetheless, locating these arenas in the game menu may not be as noticeable as it was in the previous installment. UFC 5 offers several impressive locations for fighting in the Octagon, ranging from a backyard setting to the esteemed T-Mobile Arena. This guide aims to assist players in locating these arenas and provides information on the variety of options available.
