EA Sports UFC 2 Cover Athlete to be Announced Tomorrow, Any Guesses?

[Steve_OS]

Plenty of EA Sports UFC 2 details are scheduled to be revealed tomorrow, including the cover athlete. Any guesses on who it might be?

99% sure it is Rousey or that Irish guy.

I figure it would be Aldo, Rousey, or Weidman. The two fighters with the highest profiles right now are Rousey and McGregor, but between those two I would pick Rousey since she is the Champion and has many title defenses. McGregor is still just the Interim Champion and it would be odd to put him on the cover with Aldo still technically number 1.

So my pick would be Rousey.

McGregor has a much bigger international appeal then Aldo though. At the very least McGregor will be the cover boy for the non USA version of the game.

True but I expect if they go with McGregor then Aldo will also be on the cover. Pretty much what they did for UFC 1 with Jones and Gustafsson.

I think they go 2 fighters, McGregor and Rousey. It covers the female and male fan base

Seems unlikely they'd go with anyone other than the money machine that is Rousey, with a small chance it could be McGregor (or possibly both.) Going any other direction would be pretty shocking. Weidman, Cormier, etc don't have nearly the casual recognition.

An Aldo/McGregor cover is unlikely because that fight will be long over by the time this comes out.
