Roster additions for EA UFC 4

[sdpdude9]

So I expect the next game to come out in early 2020 and if I remember correctly they locked up the roster for 3 near this time. Here's who I'd like to see added to roster. I'm hoping for a universe mode so roster depth is essential for that. I'm sure we won't get all of these but I really hope we get most, especially in the weaker divisions (HW, LHW, BW, FLW). 3's roster was really disappointing for many and while DLC has helped, it still feels dated. I tried to pick fighters that were veterans or seemed impressive enough to stick around for a while.

I want more heavyweights:

Junior Albini
Blagoy Ivanov
Greg Hardy
Omielanczuk

[sdpdude9]

I would love more heavyweights too but of those you mentioned...

Ivanov is 0-1, who knows if he'll stick around much longer.
Albini is 1-2, who knows if he'll stick around much longer.
Hardy isn't in the UFC yet.
Omielanczuk is no longer with the UFC.

Tried to pick guys with multiple fights and a largely even or winning record. Not many options at Heavyweight.

I'd rather have 1/4 of those guys with deeper individuality and signature moves

They locked up the roster for 3 in the summer of 2017. So assuming that the game comes out in early 2020, we have at least 6-9 mos before the roster is locked. FYI, I would love to see all these guys.

Oh I thought it was closer to December 2016. Maybe that will make more room for some up and comers. I hope the roster has much more depth this time, I think many, including myself, were disappointed last time. If they include a universe mode, which I think is entirely possible as it seems to be one of the few modes left to add, they really need to bolster the roster or it will get stale quickly.
