EA Sports MMA (also known as EA Sports Mixed Martial Arts) is an upcoming video game which will be published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon in 2010 and will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. [2]

Game Details

On June 1, 2009, Electronic Arts, announced that an all-new fighting title is in development under the EA Sports brand. EA Sports MMA will be available in 2010 on the Xbox 360 and the PS3. EA Sports President Peter Moore is quoted in press releases as saying "Fans have been begging EA Sports to get into the cage, and EA Sports MMA will put them in control of the sport’s unique combat experience while finally, in an immersive interactive experience, capturing the raw intensity that has made mixed martial arts one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We’re ready for the fight."[3]

As of June 14, 2009, the official site does not reveal any facts about the game-play or its release date, just one link to sign up for the EA Sports newsletter and another that directs people to EA Sport's MMA forum.[4]

Fighters


Mauro Ranallo will be providing commentary. [15]

Controversy

UFC president Dana White has declared himself "at war" with EA over the development of the game and has threatened to blacklist any fighter who signs on to the project from fighting in the UFC, with the exception of Randy Couture due to pre-existing contractual arrangements between Couture and the UFC. White accused EA of acting in bad faith in allegedly refusing to consider a UFC branded MMA game previously due to EA not considering MMA "a real sport". Dana believes EA are motivated to make a MMA based game now purely by the recent commercial success of the THQ published UFC 2009 Undisputed, stating "EA doesn't give a hell about mixed martial arts. They made that very clear." [17]
