I was just checking the list of fighters confirmed and rumoured for the game:

Who's missing?

Overeem, Verdum... Bigfoot. Galesic. Choi. I'd love to see Sakuraba and the Gracies in there. Same with some of the other older Pride names (Vovchanchyn, Hunt, Goodridge).

How is Sylvia in this? He was in UFC Undisputed if i'm not mistaken.

Good question. Could have to do with the terms under which Silvia was released by the UFC. I seem to recall him being released, rather than completing his contract and waiting for his contract to expire.

The option to fight in a ring or the new DREAM cage would be pretty slick, too.

I know the game is fairly early in the development process and things can change drastically but man the footage they showed looked absolutely atrocious.

I'll have to track down some of the footage. I haven't tried UFC Undisputed 2009 though either, so I don't really have a basis for comparison.

I thought it looked a lot better than Undisputed.

****, it can't be that hard to make it that much better.

Undisputed was one of the most mediocre games I've ever played.

Can't actually comment on it to be honest. The only MMA game I played was the UFC game on the Dreamcast (incidentally that's the last console I picked up)

It's probably a good thing you don't play undisputed.

The best way to win online is to have a guy good with takedowns take someone down and lay on them until their stamina goes low and then submit them.

You can submit anyone this way. I submitted Silva online with Houston Alexander by laying on him.

It will be fun to have Frank Shamrock doing commentary about himself.

yea i did think that is a little odd to have one of the announcers as one of the fighters

Although it'd be cool if he didn't announce fights he was involved in.

I think it would be cooler if he DID announce the fights he was in, because we'd hear some next level ****.

"You know, I have watched and participated in MMA for a long time, and really Frank Shamrock is one of the greatest MMA fighters ever. When these two collide, it will be a violation of space time. Tear the fabric of reality apart. Thank god it is just a video game."

Frank Shamrock sound bite form upcoming EA MMA game calling a fight with Frank Shamrock vs Frank Shamrock (alternate clothing)

I would love hearing him announce from the ring. Tired and ****. You hear him trying to talk while fighting. "Yeah... uh... [OUCH!]...his striking is great!"

Rumor has it the Electronic Arts Athletic Commission wouldn't license him because of an undisclosed illness. Aleks said he just didn't get his paperwork in on time.
