Nate Diaz, UFC-sluggern som mirakulöst nog lyckades klå den favorittippade irländska fjäderviktsbödeln Conor McGregor för ett par månader sedan, är naturligtvis en del av EA Sports senaste UFC-spel; UFC 2. Hans signaturmove "The Stockton Slap" har dock inte funnits med i spelet men nu har EA rättat till detta och lagt till hans respektlösa "bitch slap" i spelet. Det handlar alltså om att piska sin motståndarens anlete med öppen handflata, likt en äkta 209-Thug. EA har även passat på att uppdatera följande saker i spelet:
GAMEPLAY UPDATES:
• Strike Intercept: Strikes landed within the opponent's initial wind up phase of a strike will halt them from completing their strike.
• Stockton Slap - 209 move added.
• If a parry is mistimed, the block is not activated automatically.
• Reduced speed of clinch attempts.
• Improved AI logic for submissions and game plans.
• Elbows and Punches in Muay Thai Clinch cannot intercept transition attempts.
• Swaying away from the opponent will put the fighter at risk for higher body damage.

• Tuned damage on uppercut combos.
• Clinch and Takedown attempts punish more when denied.
• Updated Attribute/Perks/Moves for various fighters.
