EA SPORTS UFC 2: 8 Reasons To Be Excited

5. Largest Fight Roster Ever

In the same game, players will be able to fight as Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee and CM Punk. Did anyone see such a variety of characters coming together? Naturally, there's a whole host of regular real-life UFC fighters to choose from, as seasoned as McGregor and as brand spanking new as Punk. It all makes for quite the mix.

Mike Tyson is a pre-order bonus, whereas Bruce Lee will also be available in game. Alternatively, those who own the first EA SPORTS UFC game and then buy the second will be able to download the martial artist free of charge. Completionists will surely be keen, because those names help form what is the largest roster of fighters an MMA game has ever seen to date.

In intriguing fashion, the developers have teased that the line up will include some surprises. These don't necessarily come in the form of more wacky, unrealistic characters, they take the shape of complete rookies fans wouldn't expect and even some retired veterans. In short, EA are looking to make the roster an exhaustible array of characters, creating as much choice as possible for players.
