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 hadnt 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 youre going to get in MMA. Augmenting his incredible grappling skills is Bagautinovs impressive striking game. He is suitably called the Puncher King and it isnt hard to see why Bagautinov has demonstrated on multiple occasions that it isnt 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 Mouses 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 isnt featured on EA Sports UFC is the man who is #1 on this list
