UFC swapping DJ for Ben Askren

[cal7_11]

Wooooooooow!!!

If this actually happens do we still keep DJ on the game?

"Hey, let's have Sijara Eubanks headline MSG"
"Hey, let's ship the GOAT away to Singapore."

the UFC is offically out they god damn mind.

What the hell though.

Wow this will be historic if this happens. This never even happened during the Pride vs UFC days. They have had cross matches, but never trading champions. Shows how they really feel about DJ though...damn.

No way we get him in this game is there? I highly doubt it unless this has been under wraps and the UFC thought to let EA Sports know about well in advance.

One could wish though.

I would say there is less than a 1% chance that happens. Askren is likely someone they will hold out until the next game.

I will give them my $60 for the next game in advance if they put him UFC 3. You tell them at the next pizza gathering good sir.

Ben Askren signing to the UFC is the best thing that can happen for the future of UFC videogames. It’s gonna force devs to make wrestling more viable.

Why?

Askren has no standup. He just comes right forward and wrestles non stop the whole fight. Yet he’s successful. EA UFC 4 will be FORCED to make this a viable fighting strategy if they intent to add Askren to the game.

They wouldn’t even be able to add Askren to the current game because his style isn’t usable. You HAVE to use extensive striking to be successful on EA UFC 3.
