It was announced last month that the UFC had struck a deal with EA to make UFC games, and now we're getting a look at who will be making them. EA Canada dudes Dean Richards (Team and Action Sports general manager) and Brian Hayes (creative director) will be at the helm, leading the team that worked on Fight Night. Between the two of them, they've also worked on SSX and NHL games.

"For me personally, the UFC is something that I grew up with," said Hayes. "I remember watching the first UFC events when I was a teenager and it's amazing to see how they have evolved and flourished.

"Ultimately, we're huge fans; we think we have a great team and we are really excited to be taking on this new challenge. We look forward to bringing the UFC video game experience to new heights."

Nothing else has been announced, but THQ still holds the UFC video game rights until March 31st, 2013, so don't expect much of anything anytime soon. Do you think EA will do good things with the UFC license?
