I am guessing that most people in our neck of the woods have only heard of UFC (the sport, not the game) in passing. It has become pretty big in the US, but here…even if you are a SKY subscriber it is still in the “pay per view” category. It has been around for quite a while though. I remember when I was at school, me and my best mate would go over to his older brother’s flat to watch his UFC videos (yes…not DVD’s).
UFC is short for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which is the most popular of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) federations.Fights take place in the octagon (like a boxing ring…but more octagonal).There aren’t too many rules involved.Most of the prevented strikes or strike areas are there to prevent death or very serious harm (such as strikes to the throat).The sport’s appeal comes from combining the spectacle of professional wrestling with a large number of highly technical fighters who are top-tier in their chosen fighting disciplines.Sounds like it would make a pretty good fighting game right? Well, up until now they have been pretty rubbish.But UFC 2009 Undisputed has come to save the day.
