Fedor Emelianenko Headlines EA Sports' MMA Roster

EA Sports today announced that Russian MMA heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko, will headline the EA Sports MMA roster in 2010. EA Sports also announced that Gegard Mousasi and Renato Sobral, both of whom will be featured in a title bout at the Strikeforce fight on August 15th, will feature as the first of a long list of fighters who will appear in EA Sports MMA, the all-new mixed martial arts title coming in 2010.

"Fedor Emelianenko, a 6'0", 231 pound Russian heavyweight mixed martial arts fighter, who excels in Sambo and Judo, holds a 30-1 record and is the current WAMMA Heavyweight champion. Prior to signing on with STRIKEFORCE, Emelianenko defended his WAMMA championship by knocking out former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski."

"Gegard Mousasi, a former Dream Middleweight champion, has a current record of 25-2-1 and won his last match in Dream 9 against Mark Hunt this past May. The 6'1", 185 pound Dutch-Armenian fighter will be taking on Renato Sobral to determine STRIKEFORCE's Light Heavyweight champion and has a fight style that is a unique blend of Dutch kickboxing and judo."

"Sobral, hailing from Brazil, is known for his aggressive style, grappling prowess, and high-caliber submissions. He is the current STRIKEFORCE Light Heavyweight champion and has a record of 35-8 with his last victory coming against Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at Affliction: Day of Reckoning fight earlier this year."

Looks like the UFC and EA Sports: MMA battle royale is truly underway now. Let's hope for a nice clean fight, although I can't see that happening.

I sure hope this is better than the UFC game.
