The game will feature some 99 fully playable fighters from the UFCs nine weight divisions (including Women Bantamweight) and the EA guys confirmed to us that they intend to expand this roster with downloadable fighters in the coming months. All the main fighters youd expect are here and as you probably know they are all looking incredibly life-like. EA used motion-capture technology on the fighters to make sure they got their builds, facial features and movement styles true to life. We used Irelands up-and-coming Featherweight prospect Conor McGregor and were at points blown away by the realism. The games Creative Director, Brian Hayes, joked that as soon as they had perfected Conors character model the gifted young southpaw got a large gorilla chest-piece tattooed which threw a spanner in the works somewhat. How we suffer for our art!
