SB Nation UFC in-5 Daily Trivia: Test Your MMA Knowledge in 5 Minutes Flat

Think you know your UFC history? Ready to flex those MMA brain muscles? The SB Nation UFC in-5 daily trivia game is back, and it’s better than ever. If you haven’t jumped on this bandwagon yet, you’re missing out on one of the most fun ways to prove your fight IQ while killing time between events.

I’ve been playing this game religiously for months now, and let me tell you – it’s addictive in all the right ways.

What Makes UFC in-5 Trivia Different?

Unlike other MMA trivia games that drag on forever, UFC in-5 is exactly what it sounds like – five minutes of pure, concentrated MMA knowledge testing. The format is brilliant in its simplicity: five questions, ranging from softball gimmes to brain-busters that would stump even Joe Rogan.

And yes, I’ve definitely shouted “I KNOW THIS ONE!” at my phone screen more times than I care to admit.

The beauty of this format is that you can play it during your morning coffee, on your lunch break, or while waiting for the prelims to start. It’s the perfect bite-sized MMA content for busy fight fans.

Today’s Trivia Challenge: Can You Beat Yesterday’s Champions?

Each day brings a fresh set of questions that test different eras and aspects of UFC history. Yesterday’s trivia had people sweating with a particularly tough question about early UFC tournament winners. I saw comments from players who’ve been watching since UFC 1 getting stumped!

Today’s challenge just dropped, and from what I’ve seen, it’s focusing more on recent championship changes and notable fight stats. Perfect for newer fans who might not remember the Tank Abbott days.

Sample Questions You Might Face

While I won’t spoil today’s specific questions, here’s the type of MMA knowledge you might need to succeed:

  • Which fighter holds the record for most UFC title defenses?
  • Name the only fighter to win UFC championships in three different weight classes
  • Which event featured the famous “Desert Storm” upset?
  • What submission ended the longest championship reign in UFC history?

I’ve seen questions range from painfully obvious to “how would anyone possibly know that?!” The mix keeps it fresh and ensures everyone gets humbled occasionally.

Community Aspect: Share Your Scores!

One of the most fun aspects of UFC in-5 is comparing scores with other MMA diehards. The comment section under each daily game turns into a fascinating mix of celebrations, humble brags, and good-natured trash talk.

I’ve connected with fellow fans who, like me, somehow remember random prelim fights from 2013 but forget what we had for breakfast. There’s something weirdly bonding about collectively remembering obscure MMA moments.

Score Bragging Rights Level
5/5 Championship Material
4/5 Title Contender
3/5 Main Card Fighter
2/5 Prelim Prospect
0-1/5 Still in Fight Camp

How to Play UFC in-5 (For First-Timers)

Getting started is super simple:

  1. Head to the SB Nation MMA section or follow their social media accounts
  2. Look for the daily UFC in-5 trivia post
  3. Read each question carefully (some have tricky wording)
  4. Answer all five questions within the time limit
  5. Share your score and discuss with fellow fight fans

The game resets daily, so even if you bomb one day (we all do), you get a fresh shot at redemption tomorrow. Just like fighters coming back from a loss, right?

Pro Tips From a Daily Player

After months of playing, I’ve noticed some patterns that might help you score better:

  • Questions often coincide with upcoming fight cards or anniversaries
  • At least one question usually focuses on recent events (last 1-2 years)
  • Championship history is a recurring theme
  • Don’t overthink the easy ones – sometimes the obvious answer is correct

Why Every Fight Fan Should Be Playing

Beyond the fun competitive aspect, I’ve found that playing UFC in-5 has genuinely improved my MMA knowledge. It’s like studying for a test you actually want to take.

Plus, it gives you perfect ammunition for those bar arguments about “who was the first fighter to…” or “which championship fight had…” We all have that one friend who thinks they know everything about MMA – now you can put them in their place!

Ready to Test Your MMA Knowledge?

Jump into today’s UFC in-5 challenge and see how you stack up against other hardcore fans. Share your scores in the comments and let us know which question had you scratching your head. Was it harder or easier than yesterday’s edition?

Remember, it doesn’t matter if you’re a casual fan or someone who can name every UFC champion in order – the game is about having fun and celebrating our shared love of the sport. Though I won’t lie… getting 5/5 feels pretty damn good.

See you in the comments section, and may the fight gods grant you perfect memory!
