⚡ QUICK ANSWER
On the UFC 6 fighter select screen, press X to drop in a random fighter and A to lock it in — repeat for the second slot to get a random-versus-random matchup that takes you straight into the fight.

Picking a random fighter in EA Sports UFC 6 is a one-screen action, not a buried menu setting. From the standard fighter select screen you roll a fighter, confirm it, and do the same for the opposite corner — and the moment both slots are filled the game sends you into the bout. Here’s the exact input order and where it lives.

The fastest way to roll a random fighter

🔑 keyOn the fighter select screen, a single button press drops a random fighter into your slot, and one more locks it in. Do it again on the second slot and you’ve set up a random versus random matchup without ever scrolling the roster grid. There’s no currency, no unlock gate, and no separate “Surprise Me” menu — it’s all handled right on the select screen with the on-screen prompts.

Where this works and what else you can randomize

💡 pro tipThe demonstrated method lives on the standard fighter-select screen, the one you reach when you’re setting up a fight and choosing a corner. Because both slots take the same input, you’re not limited to randomizing only yourself — pressing X on the opponent’s slot effectively gives you a random opponent too, which is the quickest way to keep matchups varied.

⚠️ watch outWhat isn’t confirmed is whether that same random prompt shows up in every mode — Career, Ranked, or Online — or whether it’s tied to standard exhibition fights. Adjacent randomization that players often want next, like rolling a random weight class or arena, isn’t something the select-screen method covers; for now the verified action is the random fighter (and random opponent) roll itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the button the same on a PlayStation controller?

The inputs shown here are on an Xbox controller — X to randomize and A to confirm. The PlayStation and PC equivalents aren’t confirmed, but UFC games typically map these to the same face-button positions, so the PlayStation Square and Cross buttons are the most likely match. Check the on-screen prompts on your platform to be sure.

Does random fighter select work online and in every mode?

The roll is demonstrated on the standard fighter-select screen for a straightforward fight. Whether the same prompt is available in Career, Ranked, or Online play — versus only offline or exhibition bouts — isn’t confirmed. If you don’t see the random prompt in a given mode, that mode may simply not expose it.

Can you also randomize the weight class, arena, or opponent?

You can absolutely randomize the opponent — just press X on the second slot the same way you did for your own fighter, which is how you get a random-versus-random matchup. A dedicated random weight class or random arena option isn’t confirmed by what’s been shown, so treat those as unverified rather than guaranteed features.
