I think some people are missing what's at stake here. UFC is almost as synonymous with MMA as Rollerblades were with in-line skating. If they accomplish that, they could dominate the sport to the tune of billions over the next decade or two. EA is a real threat to that, because EA is big enough to challenge the brand.

Only if you can dance during his fights!

After the inevitable lawsuits and missed opportunities on up-and-comers, this will either fall apart or allow a rival "EliteXC" sort of promotion to take up market share. It won't be seen through to fruition, especially from an Internet rumor.

This is about the same as EA trying to F over the NFL hall of fame players that EA got sued and lost for. ONly difference is the age of the people involved.

The only problem with this is that EA was never sued by the former NFL players. They sued the NFL Players Association for not compensating them for the deals that were made with EA. EA had nothing to do with that lawsuit, becasue EA's deal with the Players Association was legit. It was the Players Assoc. that was F'ing over the former players.
