Expect EA Sports UFC to Prominently Feature Women’s Division
Women in MMA games have generally been used as promotional tools. They've been added in an exploitative manner in order to increase exposure for terrible games that were struggling to justify their existence. That will be changing when it comes to the UFC and the product now being developed by EA Sports. UFC president Dana White had long dismissed the idea of creating a women's division but just recently told SI that it is "absolutely going to happen" and in the near future. With the UFC ...

UFC Undisputed 3 Gets New Fighter Stats Update; Still No Sign of Patch
A new update to fighter stats was pushed out today for UFC Undisputed 3. A number of fighters have received ratings adjustments following recent performances.

Development Underway on EA Sports UFC
EA Sports has made the announcement that development on EA Sports UFC has begun. That would appear to be the name of the new series - not that it was much in question - but that there is any news so soon and a tease of more to come following the transfer of the license in early June is a bit of a surprise. (more…)...

Bellator: MMA Onslaught Now Available
Bellator: MMA Onslaught released yesterday on both XBLA and PSN for $15. The game delivers action meant to be fast paced arcade-style with accessible controls, online play, and a roster of just eight fighters - with the focus instead falling on the create-a-fighter feature.

Early reports have not been encouraging - and following the disaster of Supremacy MMA (which was al...
