Here’s a peak at the new UFC game for XBox andPS3.   

Unfortunately there is still a lot of mystery surrounding the game (mainly the release date) which will be published by THQ ,but according to IGN the game will include current fighters as well as UFC stars from the past.  With the explosion in the sport’s popularity and its key demographics, it would make sense to put a lot of time and money into a truly world class game.  Dana White seems to agree as he told IGN:

“Interactive is a critical opportunity for us to expand the Ultimate Fighting Championship brand,” said Dana White, UFC president. “Our goal for the UFC games is to give our growing, global fan base the opportunity to experience the most exciting live sporting event in the world — the UFC. THQ’s unparalleled development and pedigree in the fighting/action-sports genre, in addition to their leading position as a global publisher, makes them our best partner to deliver on this objective.”
