In a recent EA Sports MMA chat, Frank Shamrock announced that he would be added to the roster.

Too bad Frank Shamrock hasn't been relevant in a decade.

[goh]

Even more too bad they haven't showed a screen or video yet.

As long as they have EA Share I'll be good. I don't care that much about the roster, I'm just hoping they throw together a solid game.

HOWEVER,

They better get Diaz and Lawler on here lol.

not to be confused with ken. frank can still put on a good fight.

[Bona Fide]

I hope there is an option to have him fight with his braces.

Frank is going to make this game more legit. He is still a world class fighter with a darn fine record.

It's a good addition, but not sure that EA can really get enough names people know in order to get more people to buy it. It's similar to the NFL license, people buy Madden for the teams and players they know. People buying a MMA game will know all the UFC guys and want to fight as them. Aside from Couture, Fedor, and now Shamrock there's not really anyone I care that much about outside the UFC game.

I'm not hardcore into the Japan MMA scene, nor do I really see any of the smaller national/regional promotions...I'm sure EA will get more Strikeforce guys, and that'll help a little, but I tend to think they'll struggle without a license.
