The tapout guys are unlockable chracters in the game.

The thread title seems like a bit of a misrepresentation.

As for the Tapout guys, whatever. I'm not a fan of them being in the game, but it's not really gonna bug me.

Really? Courture hasnt been confirmed to be in the game but the Tapout guys have.

Who wants to use them? Mask is the only dude that I think actually fought at some point. If we didn't have so many real fighters to choose from I'd be kind of upset about this lol.

Yeah, but it's not like THQ sat around one day and went, "Well, we could get Couture, or we could get the Tapout guys. Let's get the Tapout guys."

Couture has long had issues with UFC, especially with regards to licensing issues between him, the UFC, and Couture's Affliction brand. I'm betting that has more to do with Couture not being in the game than any decision THQ made.

Mask was unlockable in one of the old games but that still doesn't add up to 96.

I question the fact that THQ used man hours to create them and ad them to the game but no Guida, Hammill, Couture and a few others.

But my point is a lot of this isn't in THQ's control. Remember the whole situation where Fitch was released for a day when he wouldn't sign a contract giving the UFC the use of his likeness for pretty much whatever they wanted? I'd imagine it's similar for other guys, especially Couture, who has long clashed with the UFC over business issues.

THQ can't just say, "Let's use man hours and put Guida in the game." There's a whole host of business and licensing issues that involve THQ, the UFC, the fighters, their management, potentially even their sponsors, which complicates these things.

Laying the blame solely on THQ for the results is probably a bit unfair.
