Slightly concerned as EA Sports MMA was TERRIBLE. Speak for yourself. I think this has huge potential. They can polish up EA MMA into an absolute monster, and with the UFC license its bound to be a winner.

So DREAM has folded, and within seconds basically :-P , their BW Champ has signed with the UFC. EDIT: Should probably mention the dudes name, Bibiano Fernandes. Definitely one of the top fighters outside Zuffa FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU argh, really? Damnit all. They put on the best 8 hour cards.

UFC 147 is shaping up to be...downright disappointing. Sounds like Phil Davis will have to work harder for a win now. With Griggs, I was expecting another 15 minutes of ground grappling. Ken Flo no mo. Guess we know why he was getting some try outs at announcing. Too bad he could never get a belt. He's not a Hall of Famer, but he'll be someone who gets mentioned from time to time. He fought in more weight classes than anyone and was a perpetual contender. Might make it in someday. Yeah. I mean, yes he never won the big one, but he changed weight classes like he changed underwear and was in the top-tier of every single one of those divisions. He won't make it in anytime soon but he will make it someday. As far as Wandy-Ace, I don't think Wandy will actually win the rematch. No, Rich was not impressive in the slightest when he fought Forrest, but at no point did I ever feel like he would crumble after one punch like Wandy has done quite a few times during his UFC tenure. He beat Cung Le......so what? I was never that impressed with Cung Le to begin with. And if the UFC honestly thinks I'm that much of a sucker to shell out 55 dollars to watch Mike Russow co-main evnet, a guy who's only claim to fame was beating a gassed out, overly-muscular guy who was known for one 5 second knockout then they're out of their damn minds. As far as Mayhem goes......good. I'm glad he got cut. I never got the appeal of the guy and him gassing out like that in the Bisping fight and a the not much better performance against CB Dollaway, a mid-tier middleweight fighter at best, was just embarrassing considering all the hype around him coming back to the UFC. Dream folding is no shock. FEG just doesn't know how to run an honest, competent MMA organization.

Undisputed from THQ got better in each edition, IMO. I generally like EA Sports, but I was VERY unimpressed with the MMA game. I'm sure I will give it another try now that the UFC is having them make the game.

I'm especially worried because EA will set it up with their bulls*** online pass and start making yearly versions with little to no changes, like all of their other games.

Speaking of MMA video games Bellator showed this at E3 and dear lord does it look awful.

It wouldn't be as bad if the "arcade gameplay" didn't mean it was all herky-jerky like that. The animations need to be smoother.

Well that should be an easy win for Shogun.

Brandon Vera headlining anything is a disappointment.

Brandon Vera headlining anything is a disappointment. Well the I guess the bright side would be that after Shogun mops the floor with him, Vera will be released for good this time.

Too bad Thiago Silva had to pull out of the fight with Shogun. Dana was saying that Shogun turned down Glover Teixeira, but Shogun's management said they never got the offer to fight him.

Really bad injury timing for UFC. Especially coming off a rather poor rating for the last UFC on Fox.

I have a question regarding the whole deal about EA Sports making the UFC games from now on: Randy Couture was featured in EA MMA by allowing his likeness to be used by EA, who now would do the UFC games. Does that mean that Randy Couture could be a character of some sorts in EA's first UFC game?
