RONDA ROUSEY FEATURES ON THE COVER OF EA SPORTS UFC 2 OUT SPRING 2016

EA SPORTS Reveals Full Set of Innovative Features, All-New Game Modes, and Game-Changing Visuals So Fans Can Finish the Fight

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced EA SPORTS™ UFC® 2 will launch this Spring, featuring UFC® bantamweight champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey as the game’s global lead cover athlete, check out the new trailer here. Rousey, the undefeated UFC champion (12-0), is the most dominant and recognized fighter in the world. Hear what Rousey thinks about the cover and get a first look of the champ in the virtual Octagon® here.

“EA Sports is a cultural barometer to know what’s going on in sports at the moment,” said Rousey. “As a gamer myself, it’s pretty surreal to be on the cover of the game and to have a woman on the cover of a UFC game shows a lot of progress. I’m really happy to be involved with it.”

EA SPORTS UFC 2 takes the franchise’s stunning character likeness and animation to another level, adds an all-new Knockout Physics System and authentic gameplay features, and introduces the biggest ever roster of real-world fighters in a MMA game who will step back into the Octagon on Xbox One and PlayStation®4.

“Like any champion fighter going into their next fight, we listened to our corner – in our case, the fans – and took a detailed look at everything we can do to take the fight game to a whole new level,” said Creative Director Brian Hayes. “We’re doing that by introducing innovative gameplay features, delivering a game mode for every fighter regardless of their style of play, and adding helpful tools so fans can master MMA, all while producing the jaw-dropping visuals that fans expect.”

Rousey will defend her title tomorrow in the Octagon at UFC® 193: ROUSEY vs. HOLM at Etihad Stadium, to mark the first UFC event in Melbourne, Australia. This event will also make UFC history as the first time two women’s world title bouts will headline a PPV event.

LOL! I always find it funny when people pass on a game because of a cover.

Could care less what you find funny. Last I checked,if I don't want to buy a product because someone I don't like is on the cover, that's my business.

You made that business public my man. You decided you needed to make an announcement that you werent going to buy the game because of the cover. You also felt the need to post the same thing in multiple threads. Just like you have the right to make that announcement, I have the right to acknowledge that its silly and stupid.

Release says she's the lead cover athlete. Will Conor be on the cover in the UK/Ireland markets?

And I have the right to not really care,slugger. I hope it turns out to be a great game, but I'm passing.

Cool. I'm still laughing though.

Hopefully, you will get pass this cover thing and play the game because its good. If not, who cares.

They could wait until Conor/Aldo plays out and tack him on if he's the undisputed champ closer to release.

They could put Weidman or Lawler on if Conor doesn't pan out. At any rate, they made the smart call with Rousey. It'll get some people interested in the game that might not be and anyone not buying it because she's on there (from the phrasing probably paired with a male fighter chosen later) is rare and ridiculous.

Why wouldn't she be on the cover? She's one of the most well known athlete's in the world right now. EA would be stupid not to

I don't really care for Rousey that much, but not buying a game just because she's on the cover is taking it too far. It is LOL worthy honestly. Buy the game digitally or download a custom cover if she bothers you that bad. Sheesh.

Wow..to each their own. But clearly you don't really want the game to begin with. Have you ever heard the term..."don't judge a book by its cover"

[rafaelpaolo84]

Not a big Rousey fan (well I was during her Strikeforce and early UFC days) but it's a good cover, and already looks better than last year's weird poses for Jon and Gus. Next to her would be Conor or Weidman I predict, depending on how their fights go.

She's overrated? Lol.

And it's "could NOT care less".

I really like Rousey as a fighter and she is dominate in a very weak field of female fighters. The best thing would be for Holm to win the fight or lose a razor thin decision. Rousey is way over hyped, but right now, it is all about pushing women in all forms of sports and entertainment, so Dana White jumped on the train as well.

She is nowhere near as dominate as Jones, but thanks to his screw ups, it was easy to make her the face of the UFC. No shock that she is on the cover and to be honest, she deserves it. She has been all class (for the most part) and is a fighting champion, along with being a great ambassador for the sport. However, I still would like to see her get seriously pushed or even lose in this next fight.
