UFC in-5 Trivia Game Returns: SB Nation’s Daily Challenge for MMA Fanatics

MMA trivia buffs, rejoice! The wildly popular SB Nation UFC in-5 daily trivia game is back for another round of brain-busting questions designed to test even the most dedicated fight fans. If you’ve been missing your daily dose of octagon-related knowledge challenges, today’s your lucky day.

I’ve been playing this game religiously since it launched, and let me tell you – it’s become my morning coffee companion. There’s something uniquely satisfying about starting your day by proving you know your Poirier from your Holloway.

What Makes UFC in-5 Trivia Different?

Unlike other MMA trivia games that focus on basic stats or obvious championship history, UFC in-5 delves into the obscure corners of fight lore. You’ll be tested on everything from submission techniques to fighter nicknames that were used for exactly one event in 2011.

The format is simple yet addictive – five questions daily that range from softball gimmes to head-scratchers that would stump Dana White himself. And yes, I’ve found myself going down YouTube rabbit holes at 2 AM researching random UFC 47 prelim fighters more than once.

How to Join the UFC in-5 Community

The beauty of this game isn’t just testing your knowledge – it’s the community aspect. Players are encouraged to share their scores and discuss the questions on social media, creating a virtual fight club of trivia enthusiasts.

Here’s how to get involved:

• Visit the SB Nation MMA section daily for new questions
• Track your scores over time to measure your progress
• Share your results with #UFCin5 on social platforms
• Challenge friends to beat your daily score

Today’s Burning Questions

While I won’t spoil today’s specific questions (that would defeat the purpose!), I can tell you that today’s batch includes a particularly tricky one about a fighter who made their UFC debut during the pandemic era.

I scored 4/5 today, missing only on a question about a specific referee’s appearance at an early UFC event. Still kicking myself about that one!

New to UFC in-5? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re just discovering this addictive little game, you’re in for a treat. The instructions are straightforward, but the challenge lies in the depth of knowledge required.

The game follows a simple format – five questions daily that test different aspects of UFC knowledge. Questions range from fighter statistics to historical events and everything in between. After completing the questions, you’ll receive a score that you can compare with other players.

What makes this particularly fun is tracking your improvement over time. I started as a casual fan who could barely name fighters outside the main card, but now I’m identifying obscure submission specialists from 2008 Fight Nights like it’s nothing.

Why UFC Trivia Matters to True Fans

In a sport as dynamic and ever-evolving as MMA, connecting with its rich history creates a deeper appreciation for what we’re watching today. Knowing that a current contender once lost to a forgotten prospect in a regional promotion adds layers to their current journey.

Plus, let’s be honest – there’s nothing quite like dropping a perfectly-timed bit of obscure UFC knowledge during a fight night with friends. That moment when you casually mention that the referee once competed in PRIDE FC and everyone looks at you in amazement? Priceless.
