THQ has announced that fans of their official UFC Undisputed 3 page on Facebook will receive a free code to download Alistair Overeem. Only those who are fans of the page by January 20 and enter the required information here will be eligible to receive the code which will be sent via email on or around release February 14. The news is timely as Overeem is set to face Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 on December 30 with the winner getting a shot at recently crowned heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.
Overeem was not included in the base roster of UFC 3 presumably because his move from Strikeforce (now owned/operated by Zuffa – parent company of UFC) came too late. UFC 141 represents his first fight with the company. While a few legit names are being held for a pre-order pack at a single retailer (which has led to complaints) the offering of Overeem for free is one that will be greatly appreciated by those looking forward to the game.
