No, i dont believe so.

My guess for the Secret Fighter is Joe Rogan.

# 23 mosdef328 @ 01/05/16 02:55 PM

Love the footage of the fighter (not sure who she was, only had time to watch once) taking the other girls back while they were standing. I felt like that was sorely missed in the last game.

# 24 The JareBear @ 01/05/16 02:59 PM

Good stuff. I'm not sure I'm all-in on the ultimate team stuff but props for adding more content for more fans.

Can't wait to get in depth career mode details

Okay, thanks bro, I appreciate it. I didn't think so, but I appreciate it. That was a neat feature of UFC 3, where you did. Last question, if you don't mind. In ufc 3, we would get invited to ufc fights that happened periodically, if you remember where we could watch them.

Do you happen to know, if in this UFC we can watch the fights/title fights in career mode in which we do not appear in? If that makes sense, no really sure how to word it. Thank you again

I dont know the answer to that one.

I don't put too much stock in these trailers because most of what I want to know I can only find out through extended video of gameplay or playing myself, but the game does look very good
Edit: And I really wish they'd let us actually fight out the fight cards whether we're in them or not. It seems like a pretty easy olive branch to extend to us Universe guys.

# 28 Slyone14 @ 01/05/16 03:44 PM

One thing that really bugged me about UFC 1, and please tell me if this didn't bug anyone else. But, So in career mode, you made your ultimate fighter guy, won the tournament. YAY!! Finally, made it into the ufc, ranked 50. Because of the roster, it would literally take sometimes 15-20 fighters before you would crack the top 15, to where you would actually get to fight a named fighter. By, this time, quite a few retired.

Im really hopeful with this new one, with the HUGE expanded roster that this wont happen again. That once I win the ultimate fighter ill be a competitor in the UFC and get some good fighters with named people. Heck! Maybe in this new one, you will come out of the Ultimate fighter ranked higher.

Just my 2 cents, either way ive already pre-ordered the game, so im excited.

Aholbert..... Now that the trailer has dropped and more information has come out, is there any cool little tidbits you can share with us in the areas that info has been released? I know i'm reaching here haha. Maybe its better for us to just ask questions like we have been and you will answer what you can?

Ask questions and I'll try to answer.

Loved the trailer!

Graphics look better than what has been shown so far and the look and feel look different to UFC 1 - which is great!

I was worried with the previous teasers that it looked exactly the same, but this one seemed to show a better flow and animations and of course the knockouts and facial damage!

Woop getting excited!

I think the mystery fighter will be Mike Tyson.

@aholbert32 -

This may have been asked before (maybe even months ago) and confirmed, but do you have to use a Create-a-fighter for Career mode? Or is it possible to use a fighter on the roster?

# 35 sportsfan8812 @ 01/05/16 06:08 PM

Do you know if event mode has any universe-like elements? For instance, can we setup a calendar of different events, track title holders, view fighter rankings and stuff like that?

None. It's very similar to ufc3's event mode.

Will Conor have his green shorts like he did at 194 vs. Aldo?

I don't know but I thought those things were a one time thing because he couldn't wear the same shorts as Aldo since they were both champions.

I think was asked in the other thread. And the answer was no. He could only wear those because he was a champion and Aldo was a champion.
