Extensive character customization including appearance, tattoos, and movesets that enhances player ownership.
Accessible and simple combat system that is easy to pick up, suitable for casual play and friendly matches.
Affordable price point making it a decent option for MMA fans seeking a PC alternative with some fun and novelty.

Lacks core MMA elements like grappling, ground fighting, submissions, and clinching, limiting it to basic kickboxing.
Combat feels clunky and inconsistent with input lag, unresponsive controls especially on keyboard/mouse, and rough animations.
Limited game modes with no career or progression system, no online multiplayer, and repetitive tournament fights that reduce long-term engagement.

The gameplay is straightforward and offers some fun with decent mechanics and good graphics, making it a decent casual experience at a low price. However, it suffers from shallow combat depth, lack of grappling or ground mechanics, limited modes, input lag issues, and rough execution, which collectively hold it back from fully delivering a satisfying fighting game experience.
- “It has bearable graphics, passable ragdoll mechanics, and it's better than any other MMA game currently out for PC.”
- “Surely some fun to be had, gameplay feels good and graphics are okay.”
- “Its $5, goofy, good graphics, decent mechanics, and just a fun pickup game.”
- “However, its lack of grappling mechanics, shallow combat depth, limited modes, and rough execution prevent it from fully realizing its ambitions.”
- “But the main appeal in a fighting game is the gameplay, which in this case, disappoints a lot.”
- “Gameplay is pretty straightforward; you press/hold various buttons to chain together combos, but the CPU is always better than you due to input lag when using a controller and bugs affecting your character.”

The graphics are generally considered passable and functional, offering a straightforward fighting game aesthetic rather than high-end, cinematic visuals. While not cutting-edge or AAA quality, they are deemed good enough for an indie title and enjoyable within the game's $5 price point. Some users express a desire for graphical updates but acknowledge the visuals are sufficient for casual fun.
- “Presentation does not aim for broadcast-style flair or cinematic drama, instead delivering a straightforward fighting game aesthetic.”
- “It's $5, goofy, good graphics, decent mechanics, and just a fun pickup game.”
- “Graphics aside, as this seems to be an independent game and I understand not everyone can invest in AAA, 4K UHD graphics, the core aspect of this game - the fighting - is woeful.”
- “Graphic aren't the best.”
- “It has bearable graphics, passable ragdoll mechanics, and it's better than any other MMA game currently out for PC.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some finding it annoying or overwhelming, while others consider it pretty good. However, the lack of separate volume controls for music and sound effects limits customization options.
- “The music is insane and the challenge could be a little more, but overall, you will get your 5 bucks worth of content and even more, thumbs up!”
- “Music is pretty good”
- “The music is annoying and the customization system is lacking.”
- “Overall, Ultimate MMA is a bit of a difficult game to recommend, largely due to its underlying issues, like the controller input lag, the funky physics when punching, the rather annoying music, and the complete lack of a ground game.”
- “No separate volume control for sound effects and music.”
