Randy Couture Fedor Emelianenko Renato Sobral Gegard Mousasi Benji Radach Tim Sylvia Tim Kennedy http://www.cagepotato.com/randy-fedor-sylvia-babalu-tapped-ea-mma-roster-list
Untapped fighters: Josh Barnett, Eddie Alvarez, Nick Diaz, Scott Smith, Jake Shields, Gina Carano, Cyborg Santos (both of 'em), everyone in Dream and Sengoku (Aoki, Lawal, Sakurai, etc.), Gilbert Melendez, Takanori Gomi, Josh Thompson, and the list goes on.
This game should be fucking sweet. If THQ can make a quality game, EA can too. Put Aleks in the game!
Couture? Sylvia? if sylvia is in Undisputed doesn't that mean the UFC owns his likeness and can stop EA from using it? As for Couture, I don't know if he signed his likeness over to the UFC or not. By the way, if they can get most of the fighters on speed's list, this game would be out of control. AND if they can have open weight fights.
I'd imagine that the UFC wants nothing to do with Sylvia after his last debacle of a fight. And I believe Couture himself has confirmed that he'll be in the game.
Couture signed an exclusive contract with EA while he was 'retired' from the UFC and having a contract dispute. Randy had it put in his new contract that EA has his likeness rights. So Dana had to basically not threaten Randy with never fighting in the UFC again like he has for anyone who signs with EA. Dana has declared war on EA Sports.
Any fighter in this game will never fight in the UFC, according to Dana. We'll see how macho he is when Fedor comes knocking.
Dana is really cornering himself in by saying stupid shit like that, there are a lot of top 10-15 fighters that could potentially end up in this game that could compete with UFC fighters.
The thing is--if the UFC wants a guy, in the end they won't care if he's in the EA game. In fact, it's better for them. He gets a little build up from the game then goes to the UFC and is in their next game in 2011.
Just an idea of what they can do...

My thoughts exactly. People want to use Rampage and GSP and Brock. I just find it hard to think, unless everyone knows a lot about MMA like you guys, they won't buy it. But, you never know. All I know is that UFC Undisputed is amazing and I am amazing at it.
