Even though they denied Dana White a UFC video game with the belief that mixed martial arts is "not a real sport," EA Sports is now jumping on the MMA train with EA Sports MMA, now unveiling the game's first screenshot, featuring the very painful armbar.

There isn't a very big-name lineup to boast for the title just yet, with Dana White barring current UFC fighters from signing with EA. That up there seems to be Fedor Emelianenko giving the armbar to an unidentifiable dude who will forever remember what the back of Fedor's knee looks like. Fedor, along with Randy Couture and Frank Shamrock, will be among the fighters playable in the game.

EA Sports MMA is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 targeting a 2010 release.

I can't wait to see what the gameplay is like. I loved UFC 2009 until I played on line to see that spamming high kicks wins the match every time.

Couture is in the game? He's has an upcoming fight against Vera at UFC 105. Looks like he wasn't banned or maybe this was just an error. Anyways, this could be typical EA where they show CG images of the game and not the actual gameplay.

» couture story

while couture had his little "fit" against the UFC and stopped working with the UFC after beating Gonzaga, Couture signed with EA to be a commander in Command And Conqer 3 expansion (correct me if I'm wrong there"

so as far as video games go, EA always had/has his likeness, and the contract probably states he cant sign with another video game

randy signed on for the ea mma game while in between contracts with the ufc by the time randy renewed his contract with the ufc ha had already signed on to do the game and dana couldnt do anything about it

» Cung Le kicked Shamrock's a$$

why not add Cung crazy kicks in the mix as he is the only fighter who doesn't shove men to the ground and body rub them.

Nope, you can use the same tactic whether you're Anderson Silva or Brock Lesner. Spamming high kicks + win.
