After revealing yesterday that EA Sports UFC 2 would have over 250 fighters on the roster, Mike Bohn has posted his EA Sports UFC 2 hands-on impressions over at MMAJunkie.

Below are a few nuggets from the article, but make sure to read the entire thing for more details.

More fighters confirmed (see some other confirmed fighters here): CM Punk, Alexandra Albu and Clay Collard (Brock Lesnar is out)
Audio: Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan return, no surprise there. But on another note, Bruce Buffer's fighter announcements are taken from actual broadcasts.
Complete overhaul of the ground game
Striking styles are unique to each fighter
Submission mini-game hasn't changed
Leg kick TKOs are possible
Knockouts are driven by in-match physics, no 2 knockouts will look the same
Training, Career and Ultimate Team information

"The adjusted defensive striking controls allow users to block low and protect the legs and body or block high and defend incoming head strikes."
- Perhaps a bit too optimistic but hoping that this implies the removal of weak everything block.

"Instead of the classic half-circle rotation to stand up or change position, users are presented the option to hold the joystick in a certain direction to load a bar to achieve a desired move."
- At the very least I think my controllers will last longer because of this change.

Never been big on the half/quarter circle stuff, but it is what it is. Can't wait to check out this new system.

On his Twitter, Bohn confirmed that Lesnar has been removed.

Booyah. CM Punk being in. Yes. Sucks Lesnar is out, but not surprising.

Sweet they brought back the career mode training sim stat thing. That will be amazing. I'm also liking the fact that Buffer's announcements are being taken from actual broadcasts it should add to big fight feels instead of having his title fight calls sound like a Fight Pass prelim.
