EA Sports has made it official, Randy Couture will be in the EA Sports MMA video game. There has been talk about this happening for awhile and no one was really sure. Now we know and its a big win for EA because Dana White, UFC president, is extremely against the EA MMA game. It makes sense because THQ released UFC 2009 Undisputed back in May which is the best MMA game to date but could probably be made better. Especially, since EA is not only the largest sports game publisher but the largest video game publisher period. So, Dana White wouldn't want compilation from another MMA game. It's even been said that he's threatened to ban any UFC fighter that participates in the game. So, does this mean that Randy Couture will never fight in the UFC again? Probably not, since Randy Couture is one of the few fighters that controls their likeness rights so he should be able to be in the EA MMA game and still fight in UFC. In fact, he is scheduled to fight Antonio Noguiera at UFC 102 on August 29. So, don't worry you will still see him kicking A** in the UFC ring. The real question is will EA be able to sell an MMA game thats missing some of the most popular MMA fighters or will they be able to talk Dana White into letting the UFC roster be in the game. No one knows but we shall see.
