Superman Punch controls in UFC 5

In UFC 5, many fighters that carry a Superman Punch, like Henry Cejudo and Robert Whittaker, have a Superman Punch or modified Superman with the following settings:

• Xbox: LB + B + Y
• PlayStation: L1 + Circle + Triangle

This also rings true for created fighters. However, there is some variance.

One, some fighters will have different control setups, depending on whether one is in the southpaw or not. Second, other fighters may not have a Superman Punch equipped.

If the move is not equipped for a fighter, then it can’t be used. This applies to all fighters in UFC 5, not just created ones.

For those who are looking to do the Superman Punch in UFC 5, first check the fighter’s moves to see the exact controls and whether one is equipped. This can be done in Practice.

Just press Pause and select ‘Game Help.’ Then, select ‘View Moves.’

For created fighters in Career Mode that don’t have this move, be on the lookout for training sessions with other UFC fighters. Fighters can learn moves from sparring sessions throughout Career Mode.
