While most are aware of all the UFC 4 latest updates in the game, how to touch gloves in UFC 4 is a much-wondered query among the most seasoned players even.

EA Sports UFC 4 is the latest installment in the widely-successful video game franchise based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It was released on August 14, 202, and has received fairly positive reviews thus far.

The video game offers an improved playing experience compared to its predecessors. It is bannered by more authentic and responsive striking features, more fluid controls, and an even more realistic sense of controlling the fight.

So, is it possible to touch gloves in the EA UFC 4 video game?

Since the video game tries to achieve a realistic, authentic octagon experience, elements of a real UFC fight are present, including blood, damage to the body, fatigue, taunting, and even the customary touching of gloves before a fight or a round.

Touching gloves in the game is fairly simple to do:

For Playstation users, hold down L2 and for XBox users, hold down LT.

On the flip side, the video game's touch of gloves feature also allows players to sneak in dirty tactics to get the upper hand, such as faking a touch of gloves and then throwing a strike:

UFC 4 latest updates: Partnership extension and new fighters addition

Just months after the release of the EA UFC 4 video game, the UFC and EA Sports announced that they would be extending their partnership for 10 more years.

The two companies began collaborating back in 2014 releasing the maiden EA UFC title. Since then, there have been three more major titles in the video game franchise.

The EA UFC video games have been fairly well-received, with all four titles getting at least 70/100 on Metacritic. It has been the highest-rated to date, with a score of 84/100 for the PlayStation 4 version. It has also been labeled as the best MMA video game ever made.

UFC 4 latest updates added several exciting new fighters to its roster.

Over the past few months, the game has also added Merab Dvalishvili, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Mateusz Gamrot, Jamahal Hill, and Amanda Lemos to its ever-growing roster of fighters. The in-game roster currently comprises 229 fighters with 81 different versions.

The light heavyweight champion is a four-star rated fighter in the game, and the women's strawweight contender boasts a four-and-a-half-star rating. Both fighters' striking stats are expectedly high, considering they are known for their fight-ending power.

Fans can now use Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) alumni Bo Nickal and Raul Rosas Jr. as playable characters in the game as well. Rosas Jr. became the youngest fighter to be signed by the UFC at seventeen after a dominant decision win over Mando Gutierrez in the DWCS last year.

While gamers certainly welcomed the new additions, a few fighters were rubbed the wrong way when White announced their induction into the game back in September last year.

Kevin Holland notably expressed his discontent and questioned the partiality of the UFC towards the two fighters, considering the announcement of their addition was made before their promotional debuts.

UFC 5 is rumored to release in the summer of 2023, although there has been no official announcement on it yet. Daniel Cormier recently said he was doing voiceover work for the game.
