EA Sports UFC Roster: 15 Most Shocking Fighter Omissions

2. Ali Bagautinov

Russian flyweight Ali Bagautinov has looked like a world-beater since his debut in the UFC less than a year ago and €“ three impressive wins later €“ he has quickly earned himself a title shot against one of the pound-for-pound greats in Demetrius €˜Mighty Mouse€™ Johnson. Normally fans would gulp if a man who hadn€™t even been at the UFC for a full calendar year was given a title shot against one of the toughest men in the company, but the Russian fighter inspires rather more confidence than a normal fighter. Bagautinov is a two time World Combat Sambo champion so his grappling is as good as you€™re going to get in MMA. Augmenting his incredible grappling skills is Bagautinov€™s impressive striking game. He is suitably called the Puncher King and it isn€™t hard to see why €“ Bagautinov has demonstrated on multiple occasions that it isn€™t wise to underestimate his kickboxing and he won his UFC debut with a third round TKO. Bagautinov is a crazily talented fighter and Mighty Mouse will be understandably cautious leading up to their fight. Mighty Mouse€™s trepidation will be incomparable to that of EA however €“ if Bagautinov is victorious, their game will be missing not one but two champions. The other champion who we know for a fact isn€™t featured on EA Sports UFC is the man who is #1 on this list€
