He had that procedure that Jon Fitch had.

The guy in the second pic, how the hell…never mind.

I'm so glad

That mayhem will be in every weight class. Thiago Alves should take notes on his weight cutting.

So

is Lyman Good the only Bellator fighter in the game?

Much better than last weeks announcement.

Not looking forward to the WW one, but LW will be interesting.

if not

at least you can download characters or create them http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/8/16/1626429/ea-sports-mma-online-features

EA has a GameFace feature which will let you put whoever you want in the game, so their released roster is just a base roster now you know =)

I just hope the career mode has better AI than Undisputed 10, so I don’t have to fight Frank Mir 7 times

Frank Trigg has a few fights at MW

And now you can play him at MW?

It’s been 2 years since he fought at MW.

Toronto FC - Where road games are forfeited and we STILL have no idea how to play from behind.

I’d damn near guarantee that Aoki will be at 170, just for that fight against Sakurai. They’re milking the fighters for all they possible can, and I can’t blame them, imagine the backlash if they didn’t toss in some of these other fighters…hardly any fighters in a division would be catastrophic…not that spreading fighters around is the best solution, they needed to find more talent, but this is better than nothing.

Yep, it’s this vs. fighting a bunch of create-a-fighter’s in career mode…I’ll take this, and be vocal about EA signing more prospects, and international fighters.

This actually seems more fun than the UFC game's MW division

Yeah a lot of people are out of their weight classes and some of these guys are way past their prime now. But itll still be more fun to use Frank Shamrock to fight Joe Riggs than most of the matchups in Undisputed 2010. While they might not be great in real life, people like Cung Le and Scott Smith will be fun to play with

by HighNoon on Aug 23, 2010 7:31 PM EDT reply actions  

So you're a glass half full kind of guy...

cause Frank Shamrock v Riggs ain’t doing much for me.

Glad to see Misaki in the game!

Can anyone explain to me how EA Sports can use Hendo, Arlovski, Sylvia, Trigg etc likeness. in EA Sports MMA but Randy Couture’s likeness can’t be used in UFC Undisputed?

Jack Shields eh?

Jack Shields is also the name of Jake’s father / manager..

This is a definite improvement

over their LHW roster announcement, which had me kinda worried. I honestly expected Shinya Aoki standing on Gilbert Melendez’s shoulders to be an unlockable character at HW.

Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary.

by hobbie on Aug 23, 2010 9:52 PM EDT reply actions  

How do they get away with putting Dan Henderson in the game?

When he’s supposedly signed away his likeness rights in perpetuity to Zuffa and THQ?

Isn’t that what the whole John Fitch fuss was about?
