It is a good time to be an MMA Video game fan. EA Sports MMA loooks like its coming quite nicely. Check out this trailer.
Sweetness. We expect EA Sports MMA in September, nearly three months after the release of UFC 2010: Undisputed.

In the first part, we discuss the big news of the week, including Tito’s hospitalization, Roger Huerta in Bellator and the WEC’s chances on PPV.
The second and third parts will be coming later in the week. We’ll be doing a lot more of these, so be sure to subscribe.
Sponsorship is a huge part of Mixed Martial arts. Let’s be honest, your favorite fighter could not sustain himself without help from the brands we know and love in the MMA community. Hell, certain websites even devote whole stores to MMA Brands. UFC 2009: Undisputed did a decent job of representing this, but a lot of the cooler brands (Silver Star, Dethrone Royalty) were missing, and the menu was buried deep in the Create-a-Fighter. So deep, in fact, that I know people who just completely ignored this facet of the game. THQ has promised to rectify this in the sequel, and has taken the first step by re-launching their website and adding a “partner” list. Here’s the full list, transcribed by yours truly. I’m sure someone will steal this, so if you do and don’t give us credit…Fuck you, sir.
Wow…that is a list, people. Anything in Bold is new for 2010. Here’s some interesting things. First off, we share two sponsors with the game, MMA Warehouse and Yard Barker. Speaking of Yard Barker, isn’t it interesting that there are Media sources in there as well. How about MMA Fighting? Any chance we get to see a virtual Ariel Helwani? I sent him a tweet. Waiting to hear back. Also, Clinch Gear is still in the game, huh? That is interesting because it is owned by Dan Henderson. As everyone knows, Henderson has left the UFC for the “greener” pastures of Strikeforce. Most importantly, all the awesome MMA brands are there. That means lots of cool logos, T-Shirts, Fight Shorts, and other cool stuff in UFC 2010: Undisputed, and that means a more authentic experience.

According to Brazilian magazine, TATAME, Filho will take on Bellator champion Hector Lombard at the company’s May 20th event. Just warning you now, everything through the link is in Portuguese. Enjoy. Filho made news last month when he bailed on a Bitetti Combat show just hours before the weigh-in. He later said that he never agreed to financial terms with the company. Filho is also infamous for antics like this other places, as he seems to suffer from serious depression and other mental instabilities. However, he does have a sweet new face tattoo. Lombard won the Bellator middleweight title by defeating Jared Hess in last year’s tournament final. Since then, he 3-0 including a win over former UFC punchline Kalib Starnes. How do I feel about the fight? I’d rather just post you a tweet from SI’s Josh Gross.

People have seemed to forget in all the hype surrounding his opponent, Junior Dos Santos. Gonzaga has some of the best ground skills in the heavyweight division. He also has very underrated power in both his hands and his legs.
Gonzaga’s shirt features his team’s logo on the back of the shirt. I never understood why more fighters didn’t do that. Awhile ago, American Top Team came out with their own shirt. That’s called free advertising. Our new partner, Carnal DaMMAage has this one for 39.98, and you can save 10% with the coupon code “PJCoupon.” Tags: advertising, aligncenter, alt, Awhile, back, CarnalDammage, class, Code, com, coupon, DaMMAage, division, Dos, Gabriel Gonzaga, ground, height, href, hype, junior, logo, none, opponent, partner, PJCoupon, Power, Santos, Shirt, Shop, slouch, src, style, t shirt, team, title, today, Tokyo, top, UFC, Versus, width, Categories: MMA Leave a comment For the first time in my life, I wish I had a PS3.

Very Cool. Unfortunately, for me and the rest of the Xbox 360 owners out there, it doesn’t stop there. The PS3 will also have access to five extra “Ultimate Fights.” Here is the list:
For those who are new to the world of video games, don’t expect this to go unanswered by Microsoft. There will likely be exclusives for the Xbox 360 versions as well. Of course, we’ll have them once we know.
