Rumor: UFC to ban fighters that sign on for EA's MMA

There's been a pretty crazy rumor floating around. originating from the mixedmartialarts.com forums. The rumor states that UFC will blacklist any fighter that chooses to be a part of EA's upcoming game, MMA. That means should any fighter sign up to be represented in EA's game, they won't ever be endorsed by the UFC or asked to join. Crazy, right?

Lets hope the NBA never does this. Then we'll only have that ****ty sony game.

That's ****ing stupid.

Fair enough if they are contracted to UFC presently...

Plenty of other MMA promotions to feed fighters from, but its ridiculous that they won't ever be able to be apart of UFC in the future.

Heck, I don't even think Vince McMahon would be that tight ass

What? Let's HOPE the NBA does this.

NBA has an official brand. It's that ****ty sony game. And if it went to the highest bidder I'm sure it would be EA. It's a lose lose for 2k.

It wouldn't surprise me if EA than tries to buy out UFC. They are the greedy ones spyda, trust me

the fact that EA's getting a taste of it's own "**** the gamer" medicine is music to my ears

NBA wouldn't do it. EA approached the NBA around the same time they did the NFL but the NBA refused to give them exclusive rights (Thank the Lord).

And this is karma for EA. But I don't think it'll make a whole lot of difference just for the fact MMA/UFC isn't on the same level in popularity as any of the current sports titles yet.
