From IGN:
March 13, 2009 - THQ and Zuffa today announced that Forrest Griffin has been tapped to appear on the worldwide cover of UFC 2009 Undisputed. Griffin is a former light heavyweight champion after winning his UFC contract on Spike TV "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show in 2005.
Canada will see a special cover that will only be available to Canucks. It features Georges St-Pierre, a Quebec native. St-Pierre is currently the welterweight champion and was recently named Canada's Athlete of the Year for 2008.Both versions of UFC 2009 Undisputed will ship on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 19. We'll have the GSP box art exclusively on IGN at a later date.

economy…if they in fact are going out of business and just filing for bankruptcy to re-configure or whatever how the company is setup…

The games just full of simple code like with a click on the Denis Kang button the code reads, “Goto and PLAY "Disappointment”.

Yes.

Video on incorporation of striking/ grappling techniques.
Shows some nice knees by Anderson Silva.
I will play my game beneath the spin light.

2:49 of the video you see a glipse of Tito vs. Liddell.
I will play my game beneath the spin light.

EXACTLY!
There nothing in common about Forrest and undisputed.
BJ Penn, GSP, Anderson = Undisputed
Forrest = Not even close
by MMASuPreMaCy on Mar 13, 2009 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, so there’s no reason it should have to be anything in common. Forrest is on there because he is a huge superstar, this is a meaningless complaint.
by Michael Rome on Mar 13, 2009 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
when would supre waste a chance to complain about something zuffa related??
:-)
by Reaser on Mar 13, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So when did Penn, GSP, and Anderson leave the UFC?
Really, I hate that cover and Forrest is only there as a popularity contest.

i could care less if it was forrest or not, as long as it looks good..
this is just amateurish..
by Anton Tabuena on Mar 13, 2009 11:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i was just messin with you supre…
ya, I’de rather Anderson Silva be on the cover…
by Reaser on Mar 14, 2009 12:10 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He is also not a divisive fighter. I could see some BJ Penn fans hating on the game if GSP were to be on the cover.

Machida's elusive nature ruined the plans for his alternate cover

There's a bit of a conehead...
I didn’t feel like spending too much time on a graphic for a comment section so I just ran through it really quick and it is pretty sloppy

Sweet. It comes out the day before my birthday. Can you say “jackpot”?

All the videos over at IGN look awesome. I am real excited about this game.
by Michael Rome on Mar 13, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am too, but with one question.
Can the body scanning even capture an image of Machida?

Sucks that Carwin isn’t in the game, though. I can only hope that Maia is or else I’ll have to make him.

where did you see that about Carwin? (not calling you liar, just for my own eyes)
by Reaser on Mar 13, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It’s somewhere on IGN because they did the interview with him after his win over Gonzaga.
The guy (interviewer) stated he [Carwin] might be on the online update.

I would clean the post up and add some videos, but I am having trouble editing it.
I will play my game beneath the spin light.

… I take it all back. I prefer the bland press release cover that was up on Amazon a couple days ago.
