First off, you need to complete the introduction phase of the career mode. This means that you must have finished your four matches as an amateur. Once you do that, you will have full access to the hub screen. Here, you have a variety of options available to you, including accepting or declining fight offers, checking your record, and having the option to train for upcoming fights.

At the bottom right of the screen, there are three additional options you can select from. To access these options, press RS/R3 and select the icon on the left, which is Fighter Evolution.

At the Fighter Evolution screen, you can perform many activities. Players can upgrade their attributes, as well as see their moveset. You’ll also be able to equip perks at this screen, and to do this, press RT/R2 until you get to the Perks option. Once there, you will be able to buy perks with any Evolution Points (which you can acquire through sparring sessions) you have, and can then equip them to your fighter.

You can equip your fighter with a maximum of five perks. One of those perks will be the first perk that your fighter acquired when you selected a fighter type. Once you finish at the amateur ranks, you will be able to add a second perk. However, to add additional perks, you need to unlock those slots. Here’s how you unlock the other three perk slots:

  • 3rd Slot – Unlocked when you become a UFC fighter
  • 4th Slot – Unlocked when you become a ranked UFC fighter
  • 5th Slot – Unlocked when you become a UFC champion
