EA Sports UFC: 10 Things We Learned After Hands-On Time With The Game

3. The Ultimate Fighter

TUF 17 It was revealed to us that the hugely popular reality television show The Ultimate Fighter would play an important role in the game€™s sprawling career mode. For many fighters, breaking from the ranks of a regional promotion to win a spot on the grand stage of the UFC can be an extremely difficult enterprise. MMA is one of the true global sports and getting noticed by the UFC can supposedly be a difficult task. The Ultimate Fighter was established not only as a source of entertainment for MMA fans but also as a means of replenishing a weight division€™s talent pool. Fighters in the Ultimate Fighter house are tasked to live in the Las Vegas-based facility for six weeks while training under the guidance of an established UFC fighter. The fighters would then be pitted against each other in a knockout tournament with the winner gaining a six-figure UFC contract. The Ultimate Fighter experience could be a hugely rewarding addition to the game€™s career mode.
