The UFC video game license is precisely where it should be. Previous UFC themed games were poorly received by critics and fans alike while doing nothing to advance the Ultimate Fighting brand.

im with you i hope to god EA doesnt get this game it would be ruined

I believe EA already announced their own game. Competition will only make the next game that much better.

i agree with Sausage... competition makes everyone raise their game, no matter what it is.. video games, sports, everything in life... I think THQ provided a great foundation for a long running series, and after the good reviews and so far pretty good sales, i think UFC will stay with THQ, especially after the success of the WWE franchise. hopefully they can stick with the same dev. group the next few years to continue to build upon whats been established with UFC 2009

EA will soon buy the exclusive license and end all chance of the game becoming the best it could be. Finally, if competition makes the game better and that is what gamers want why did EA buy the NFL and College Football exclusive licenses. Is it that they dont care what the gamers really want?

FYI, EA got the NFL exclusive license because the NFL was actively seeking exclusivity and EA ponied up more money than 2k...so it wasn't EA instigating there like you imply.

I think the competition will be good, but Dana and the UFC won't leave for EA anytime soon...they have such a great game and they know that.

All EA has to do is show Dana how many units Madden has sold and how much money it has made. I don't think that Dana is some uber gamer that would prefer a better game over more profit and exposure. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if EA ends up with the exclusive rights when they become available.
