Have we confirmed Benson is on the game when it comes out? I know he's on the beta, but I don't think he had signed yet did he? Thanks in advance.

I wont know until I see the game in about 10 days. I think he signed right around the time they closed the roster but I'm not sure.

Do you think full roster lists are going to start leaking out around then? I've almost made up my mind to use actual UFC records and recent histories for fighters and it'll take... a pretty long time to put together.

I think they start leaking around the time the review copies go out. Without spoiling who is in the game, 70% of the roster has already been leaked or announced through trailers so you can get a bit of a headstart by just doing those.

Every fighter who was in UFC 1 that is still under a UFC contract or affiliated with the UFC (Griffin is employed by the UFC) is in UFC 2.

Thx for answering about Griffin. Good to know. Any reason Matt Serra name not mentioned? I know he's employed by ufc.

Tito is a on bad terms with the UFC and is under contract with Bellator so no.

Wandy just got sued by the UFC and released from his contract so no.

No to Ken Flo.

Chael was in UFC 1 and is still technically under UFC contract so I would guess yes unless the UFC asks EA to remove him.

The focus of the roster is to add current fighters to the game not retired fighters. I'm not saying there isnt a chance that there wont be legends added by DLC but the LARGE majority of the 250 fighters are current fighters.
