    I can't believe people are running with this story.If Fedor, Overeem, Belfort,Barnett etc are in the EA game then they say i want to fight in the UFC do you think the UFC is not going sign them.If the story is true it is a just poor scare tactic that ufc won't back up.

      That's tough for some fighters. But imagine if they all decided to sign with the EA game. LOL Is UFC really going to ban all their top fighters over a videogame?

      Doesn't really matter anyway to me. If EA uses the create a fighter that is in Fight Night, and allows you to share, you'll have every UFC fighter past and present, along with any other MMA guy you want, anyway.

        I hear what you guys are saying, if it's a scare tactic or not, the UFC saw how very successful there game has been since release and they must wanna keep it that way for them. It could be greed or whatever you. I mean I know it could be competition but why must EA try and copy what someone else does and try and steal there thunder. Stick with the common sports EA. I would have let the MMA to the UFC and THQ. I honestly do not feel that EA's MMA will even come close the the experience I have had with playing the UFC.

          SMH @ Dana for even considering this.

            I wonder what his reasoning is? THQ really captured what the UFC is all about in their game, and doesn't want that tarnished by EA's game..

              The story is total BS. One, does anyone actually think that Dana would release a top fighter if they agreed to be in the EA game? Really? Dana is an ******* but one thing he has shown is he is a smart businessman. This goes against good business.

              Also they cant all sign with EA because the majority of them are under lifetime videogame contracts with the UFC. EA would be immediately sued and have an injunction filed preventing the release of the game if it included fighters signed to the UFC.

                    Does this mean Couture is out of UFC 102? Seems like an empty threat in my opinion.

                      Well he fired Jon Fitch (and a slew of other fighters) for not signing the UFC game deal, so yes I do believe that Dana has the cajones to do something like this.

                        I wouldn't doubt Dana and how he does business. On that same token, I seriously doubt Dana White will tell big name fighters such as Fedor they can't fight in the UFC because of a contract made for a video game.

                        Basic jist: If you aren't a big name, expect White to follow up on his threat. If you are, disregard

                          Good to see EA finally getting a taste of their own crap. Every cooperate money making company is dirty and does not play fair.

                          This gave me a little chuckle. This is about the same as EA trying to F over the NFL hall of fame players that EA got sued and lost for. ONly difference is the age of the people involved.

                            Doesn't matter...EA can fill an awesome roster without UFC fighters. And like Extreme said, all the UFC fighters would be created within days. And after playing Fight Night, I can't wait to play EA's MMA game. They have the athleticsm of fighting down...something THQ doesn't get.

                              But THQ has controls down,something EA doesn't get. To do a takedown press LT,RB,hold B and do a half circle forward! To dodge hold RT,RB,LB,Y,move the left stick with a half circle away for your fighter to lean back and move the right stick to step back! What fun.
