UFC-sluggeren Nate Diaz satte en stopper for vinnerrekka til Conor McGregor i forrige måned, og han er naturligvis med i UFC 2. Hans signaturslag "The Stockton Slap" har ikke vært med i spillet foreløpig, men nå har EA valgt å legge til det nedverdigende slaget. Det handler altså om å klappe til motstanderen med håndflaten, en provoserende handling Diaz bruker for å vippe motstanderne av pinnen. EA har også lagt til følgende i oppdateringen:
