SB Nation UFC in-5 Daily Trivia: Test Your MMA Knowledge and Join the Community
Fight fans, gather ’round! If you haven’t been testing your UFC knowledge with the SB Nation UFC in-5 daily trivia game, you’re missing out on one of the most entertaining ways to flex your MMA brain muscles. As someone who’s been obsessed with the sport since the days when Tank Abbott was considered technical, I can tell you this daily challenge has become my morning ritual alongside coffee and fight tape review.
What Makes UFC in-5 Trivia a Must-Play for MMA Diehards
The beauty of this trivia game is its simplicity combined with just the right level of difficulty. Each day, you’re presented with five questions that range from softball gimmes (“Who knocked out Conor McGregor at UFC 257?”) to the kind of deep cuts that would impress even the most veteran MMA journalists (“Name all three fighters who submitted Frank Mir in the UFC”).
I’ve noticed the questions often follow recent UFC events or historical anniversaries, making it both timely and educational. Just last week after UFC 300, the questions centered around previous centennial events, and I embarrassingly discovered gaps in my knowledge that sent me down a YouTube rabbit hole.
How the Game Works
For newcomers wondering about the format, it’s refreshingly straightforward:
- Five daily questions about UFC history, fighters, and events
- Multiple-choice format makes it accessible for casual fans
- Share your score with the community and compare results
- Track your progress over time to see how your knowledge improves
- New questions drop every morning – perfect for your daily MMA fix
What I appreciate most is how the game caters to both hardcore fans who can name every UFC champion in chronological order and newer enthusiasts who might have jumped on board during the McGregor era.
Why This Trivia Game Is Building the Best MMA Community Online
The sharing aspect of UFC in-5 is what transforms it from a simple trivia game into a community-building tool. After completing your daily questions, you can post your score on social media, which has created a friendly competitive atmosphere among fighters, journalists, and fans alike.
I’ve seen Dana White himself reference somebody’s score during a press conference, and several UFC fighters regularly post their results. Last month, I witnessed Michael Bisping playfully mock Daniel Cormier for scoring lower than him – the kind of interaction that makes this community special.
Notable UFC Personalities | Known Best Scores |
---|---|
Ariel Helwani | 5/5 (frequently) |
Jon Anik | 5/5 (almost always) |
Daniel Cormier | 3/5 (surprisingly inconsistent) |
Michael Bisping | 4/5 (solid performer) |
My Personal Experience with UFC in-5
I’ve been playing daily for three months now, and my average score hovers around 4/5. Yesterday’s questions about early UFC tournaments exposed my weakness in pre-Zuffa era knowledge – I completely blanked on who Royce Gracie defeated in the UFC 4 tournament final (it was Dan Severn, and I’m still kicking myself).
The game has legitimately improved my MMA knowledge and given me ammunition for those heated debates at the bar during fight nights. Nothing silences a casual fan faster than dropping precise statistics about Demetrious Johnson’s title reign.
Today’s Questions: Did You Know These UFC Facts?
While I can’t reveal today’s exact questions (that would spoil the fun), I can hint that if you’re familiar with the heavyweight title picture of the late 2000s and the early WEC merger fighters, you might ace today’s challenge.
I’m particularly enjoying how the questions sometimes focus on the business and production side of the UFC. Yesterday included a question about the first event to use the octagon-shaped cage – something many fans wrongly assume was present from UFC 1.

I’ve found the community to be surprisingly supportive – when I missed a question about Valentina Shevchenko’s title defenses, several fans messaged me with helpful resources to brush up on women’s flyweight history.
The Future of UFC in-5
Word has it that SB Nation is considering expanding the concept with special editions around major PPV events and themed weeks focusing on legendary fighters or specific weight classes. I’m personally lobbying for a Pride FC edition – those were the days when soccer kicks were legal and entrances were more elaborate than the fights themselves.
The development team has also hinted at potential prizes for consistent high-scorers, which might include UFC merchandise or even ticket discounts. While nothing is confirmed yet, the growing popularity of the game suggests we’ll see expansions soon.
