Adding them is huge, and fans are going to go nuts when we reveal who the mystery fighter is. I can’t wait.”

Fans excited to step into the Octagon® can pre-order EA SPORTS UFC 2 and get day one access to two legendary fighters: UFC Hall of Famer and three-time King of Pancrase, Bas Rutten; and Japanese MMA legend, “The Gracie Hunter” Kazushi Sakuraba, with an additional mystery fighter who will be named later.* The deluxe edition of the game also includes up to $60 of UFC Ultimate Team™ Premium Packs**.

Finally! Ive been holding in the release date for almost 3 months and Sakuraba and Bas Rutten for weeks.

I think you guys will like the mystery fighter too.

I enjoyed Bas and the McGregor Swagger. Really excited about how the new damage system is looking as well.

The game is looking good. I'm not a legend or Ultimate Team guy so I'd much rather the pre-order incentive be like what NBA 2K did where you can get the game a few days early. Other than that I can't wait to see the full fighter list.
