"We are looking obviously at every fighter that we can, that we feel is applicable from a quality level and then analyzing their image rights, and if they're available and we want them -- then we'll get them. If they're not then we'll move on to the next fighter."


When asked about fighters such as UFC star Lyoto Machida, Moore added: "Machida? A great fighter. There's plenty of great fighters that have their image rights, and we'll start announcing fighters pretty soon."



...



A tour schedule around E3 indicated that notable Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko was taking place in a photoshoot for the EA title, alongside colleague Gegard Mousasi.



In addition, famous ex-UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia recently said in a radio interview that both he and notable former UFC star Randy Couture have signed up for the Electronic Arts game. None of these signings have yet been confirmed by Electronic Arts.



I wonder if they're still interested in Tim Sylvia. Hope Monte Cox didn't seal the deal with one of his famous handshakes.

ttt for Ray Mercer in the game

 i doubt he could be in both games

Machida signed the ufc lifetime contract, obviously.

UFC fighters will be in it, inluding Machida, it just means EA has to pay the UFC $$$ for use of image which they might hold the rights to.

Or... the UFC could choose not to release for this.

We're talking about Dana White here.
