Dave & Buster recently launched an exclusive new arcade game to their venues called UFC Challenge. Based upon the popular MMA sport, this seeks to elevate the fight-night experience for its customers. The brand-new game was created in collaboration with Rider, IGPM Group, Adrenaline Amusements, and Betson. This high-energy attraction lets fans put their stamina, accuracy, and skills to the test like never before — right inside their favorite entertainment destination.
Whether you’re a longtime UFC fan or just someone who loves a good arcade challenge, UFC Challenge brings the thrill of the Octagon to life in a way that’s hard to miss and even harder to master. It can only be found at US Dave & Busters locations.
A Game Designed for Champions
UFC Challenge isn’t just another punching machine. It’s a massive 11-foot-wide, 12-foot-tall setup weighing over 1,700 pounds, packed with official UFC visuals and elements that make it feel like you’re stepping into the real Octagon.
The gameplay has been built for both solo players and competitive matches:
- Single-Player Mode: Players go three rounds to rack up as many points as they can. Reach over 200 points, and you earn the title of UFC Champion.
- Two-Player Mode: Face off against an opponent in real-time. Points shift based on accuracy and speed — but be careful, misses will cost you. Hit zero, and you’re knocked out!
Besides throwing punches, players must also master knee strikes, making it a more authentic and strategic fighting experience.
The Look and Feel of the Octagon
One of the coolest parts of UFC Challenge is how much attention went into making it feel real. The game features:
- Authentic UFC branding throughout the cabinet
- Fighters wearing Venum Fusion fight kits and UFC gloves
- Legendary anthem “Face the Pain” by STEMM blasting in the background
There’s even a cage-style setup around the game, mimicking the look of UFC arenas. Combined with huge LCD screens and lively graphics, it’s about as close as you can get to stepping inside the Octagon without signing up for a real fight.
Built for Fans of All Ages
Whether you’re testing your endurance alone or squaring up against a friend, UFC Challenge is easy to jump into but hard to master. It focuses on speed, precision, and endurance, making it a fun challenge for casual players and hardcore competitors alike.
The gameplay is fast, but it’s not mindless — players have to think on their feet, mix up punches and knee strikes, and avoid getting sloppy. It’s this mix of strategy and action that makes the game addictive, keeping fans coming back for another round.
More Than Just a Game
The launch of UFC Challenge isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s part of a growing partnership between Dave & Buster’s and UFC that started in 2022. Now, not only can fans catch every Pay-Per-View and Fight Night event on massive 40-foot WOW Walls with immersive audio, but they can also get hands-on with the action before the fights even start.
Plus, with deals like the Eat & Play Combo starting at just $19.99, it’s easy to spend an entire night at Dave & Buster’s without breaking the bank. Fans can even upgrade to Unlimited Game Play for an even bigger arcade experience.
UFC Challenge perfectly captures what makes UFC so exciting — the speed, the tension, the physicality — and turns it into a game that anyone can jump into. It’s a smart move for Dave & Buster’s, and a real treat for fans who want a taste of the Octagon without taking any hits themselves.
If you’re looking for a new arcade experience that actually feels fresh, competitive, and high-energy, head over to your local Dave & Buster’s and give UFC Challenge a shot. Just don’t be surprised if you end up throwing a few extra rounds trying to beat your best score.
