The Rise of The UFC Continues…

There was a time in which WCWP’s Matt Soldano chided myself and Jason for being the “only people who watched the UFC.” This should make him cry. Here is a little piece of news from sports video game site Pastapadre:

In sales news UFC 2009 Undisputed has passed 3.5 million resulting in it becoming a “Platinum Hit” on the 360 and “Greatest Hit” on the PS3. That makes it the second best selling sports title domestically behind Madden which is extraordinary for the first year in a new franchise. NBA 2K10 has passed 2 million in worldwide sales which is a significant number as well.

That’s right. The first iteration of the UFC’s new franchise just outsold the greatest basketball game of all time, which 2K10 is, and it’s really not an argument.

While it doesn’t mean that MMA has surpassed basketball as a sport, it does show a little something.
