Holy crap...that's a kick-ass roster!

That article should perhaps be put into context. It's just a list of fighters who would be free to appear in the game.

As for the Couture/EA link. He's appearing in an EA game (C&C) and in an interview he suggested he was pitching a game to EA.

It's a ridiculously huge leap to take Couture pitching an idea to that roster.

Personally I'd be hesitant about it, how many good games are there out there which are associated with a sports star.

I can't see many companies having the $$$ to pay for the likenesses of that many fighters. Sounds like a pipedream.

Its EA dude, they bought the rights to my pants last year.

wow, i didn't realize how much talent isn't under ufc contract. the fertita's need to to get it together and pay up so we can see all the dream matches we can handle

Wow

If it ever does happen it would be at least a year or 2 out.

Randy is a joke! This just shows that all he really cares about is money. If you're still claiming to be a fighter then fighting needs to come before making movies and video games. Go be a fighter thats what you do.

Hey Kuch, its EA, they got $$$ (Hell, they're trying to buy Take Two (GTA)). That's an awesome roster though.

On C&C, Couture's gonna supposedly be used in the movie, then transition to the game after the movie?

We'll see... He DOES make a good Kane though...
