With the building promotion of the upcoming EA MMA (which is aiming for a release next summer) the roster continues to be the early focus. Without access to the UFC license that has left EA Sports to sign fighters individually and from a pool limited to those not under contract with UFC at the time of attempted signing. The newest addition to the list is Jason “Mayhem” Miller who confirmed his association with the game in an interview with Bloody Elbow. Below is the updated full list of fighters either officially announced by EA or confirmed by statements from the fighters themselves.

Randy Couture
Fedor Emeliananeko
Gegard Mousasi
Tim Sylvia
Renato Sobral
Frank Shamrock
Tim Kennedy
Jay Hieron
Benji Radach
Cung Le
Bas Rutten
Jason Miller
Mauro Ranallo (Announcer)

Pasta is there any news if EA would consider using legends like Royce Gracie...because that would be mother loving awesome

nacnud

Thats a pretty good lineup.

They should bring in some of the legends too like randleman and gracie that would be sick....

Bas Rutten is in it he is considered a legend ...oh and one more fighter they should put in is KIMBO that would be sick

theron

get michael westbrook

Devion Hintom

i think they should add female fighters to the game like cyborg and carano

MP3

They better get Kazushi Sakuraba, Hayato Sakurai, Akira Maeda, Xavier Foupa-Mokam, Allistair Overeem, Ryo Chonan, Rusty Hand, Kevin Randleman, & Brett Rogers in there. I think all those guys would be great fits. I kinda doubt this game will have a lightweight division though.

I think it's hilarious that EA didn't want to have anything to do with MMA. Now they are trying to get in the game by signing all these crap fighters or UFC re-treads. For the sake of having another good MMA game, I hope this game is good though.

Joseph

Crap fighters? You don't know what you are talking about.

They also have King Mo Lawal in there who is a rising star in mma. I wish they would have legends of the sport also something THQ didn't do.

Joseph

Bas Rutten is in the game, though I don't know if he will be announcing or fighting. Hopefully both!

jkte

All this EA MMA stuff is shaping up to be similar to what 2K did for All-Pro Football......except like in typical EA fashion they always give all the latest news and updates and trying to get as much attention for the game as possible.

Jason Miller has had a beef with the UFC for a long time so his signing comes as no surprise. I would not consider him a big signing at all though. I just hope that they have a "Bully Beatdown" mini game so I can create a PastaPadre character to get his ass kicked!

rfwill13

They should add the Green Power Ranger! I heard the dude that played him is joining some MMA camp

EAroxyesthatisanX

I believe EA will take over the 2k UFC game in days. C'mon everyone, EA will have awesome fighter creator. The fans will make a better Tito than 2k did - lol

Jerkfacefave

well that should be easy considering that 2K is not making a UFC game

thatguy

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!( rick flair style) college football tonight!!11 WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

smokedawg

king206

That's a shithole roster.

Joseph

Its actually a nice roster, and its just the beginning, not to mention they have some of the best fighters in the world, and THE best fighter in the world in Fedor.
