EA Sports UFC Features Female Fighters. Including The Ultimate Fighter Coaches Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate
EA today announced that EA SPORTS UFC will feature playable female fighters for the first time ever in a UFC video game. This groundbreaking moment is headlined by UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and top bantamweight contender Miesha Tate, the historic inaugural female coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
Starting next Spring, players will “Feel the Fight” in the Octagon and experience the crippling power of Rousey’s signature armbar, the ferocious intensity of Tate’s grappling, and many other fighting styles from an esteemed roster of female fighters in EA SPORTS UFC.
Dean Richards, General Manager of EA Sports UFC had this to say:
“This is a great moment for video games and for Mixed Martial Arts. In our commitment to delivering the most realistic fighting experience ever achieved, we wanted to represent the full spectrum of talent and diversity of all the fighters in the sport, including women who have become an undeniable force to be reckoned with.”
UFC President Dana White also made a statement:
“Since we added the Women’s Bantamweight division earlier this year, the women have impressed everyone,” said “The fights are always exciting, Ronda Rousey is as talented as any champion in the UFC and her rivalry with Miesha Tate is one of the most intense in UFC history. The female division has become a huge part of the UFC and fans will now be able to experience fighting with them in the game.”
EA Sports UFC will be out in 2014 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For more information on EA Sports UFC you can check out their website, and like them on Facebook.
