You probably want to make a separate thread for discussion on this article.

If there is 250 fighters, it's hard to believe any guy that has fought for them recently that is a somewhat known guy wouldn't be in the game.

Thats a great assumption. I'll say this: I just took a look at the roster and I only found 4 fighters who werent in the game that have been on a recent UFC main card. So if a fighter has been on a main card, there is a good chance he/she is in the game.

Also there is a chance that some of the missing guys become DLC.

Bohn confirmed Ben Rothwell, Brandon Thatch and Paddy Holohan. Also for event mode, you can have 11 fights on the card.

# 49 fballturkey @ 12/28/15 01:02 PM

11 is more than I'll ever need. Good stuff.

# 50 BDKiiing @ 12/28/15 02:20 PM

I'm hoping Sergio Pettis is in the game too.

# 51 sportsfan8812 @ 12/28/15 06:39 PM

A little more info from Bahn.....

Wonderboy Thompson and Uriah Hall are confirmed. Fedor and Marco Ruas are 100% not in. I guess DLC are possible

Twitter questions.....

Q: Is an Aldo/McGregor knockout possible?
A: All knockouts are unique so i�m sure it is

Q: Any new added beards or haircuts?
A: I was told CAF is more in-depth than ever before so that should include beard, hair, tattoos, etc

Will fighters be capable of switching divisions? I'm sure we will get McGregor at 155, but could we be able to have Edgar at 135? Weidman at 205?

# 53 sportsfan8812 @ 01/03/16 03:52 PM

Stefan Struve, Korean Zombie and Nick Lentz confirmed via Bohn

I cant give you specifics on this but if the roster list I looked at is too believe there will be more versions of fighters in one or more divisions. Not counting the people who had multiple characters in UFC1, I counted 8 additional fighters who had models in multiple weight classes.

Also, I believe that FW can fight BW in Event Mode so its possible to have Edgar fight a 135er.

In Event Mode, can Middleweights fight Light Heavyweights?

I believe so. The only one that wasnt possible was WW against MW.

Sweet, thanks!

# 58 fballturkey @ 01/03/16 10:28 PM

I hope they focused on younger, up and coming fighters when filling out the roster. I'd much rather have a few guys that don't pan out taking up roster spots than a bunch of UFC journeymen if that means we'll have more guys two years from now that are making waves in the league.

# 59 petbeaver @ 02/03/16 08:24 PM
