Well, when you put it that way, it sounds like an overall dumb statement of mine.
But that's not what i said/meant. Maybe it came out wrong.
One can be an MMA fan, but not a hardcore MMA fan or not a hardcore gamer. Meaning one can enjoy watching UFC, but when it comes to the games, they want it simple so that they don't have to put a lot of effort when playing them, they might be a casual gamer and still have an MMA game itch.
So yeah those people can still want a casual/relatively easy and forgiving mma game, that they can play from time to time, while at the same time being hardcore MMA spectators.
Basically what i was saying was, EA owns the MMA games market, since they have the UFC license and they don't care about making a quality product that anyone can enjoy, but rather care about milking people who want an mma game but have no other option to choose from.
