EA vs. UFC...More Fierce Than Henderson vs. Bisping

Posted 7/13/09 1:30 pm EST by Russ Frushtick in News


Over the weekend fans of MMA saw an intense battle between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping which left Bisping out cold on the mat in the second round.

It wasn't the only blood shed this weekend, though, as it seems UFC and EA Sports aren't going to be best friends anytime soon. Dana White, the head of UFC, stated that he's "at war" with EA and that anyone siding with the game publisher may find themselves in a bad way with UFC.

Speaking with MMAJunkie.com, White was very clear about his thoughts towards EA:

"We put our asses on the line, THQ and the UFC, to make a video-game deal in the worst economy in the world. We go out there and do this thing, and it's successful, and now [expletive] EA Sports wants to do a video game. Really? That's not what you told us a year-and-a-half ago."

While THQ's UFC game was a bit hit this year, there's clearly some concern that EA's forthcoming series, "MMA," will be major competition. After all, who wants to go up against the house that Madden built?
