EA Sports and MMA


In light of the Pacquiao fight coming up. I decided for fire up fight night round 4 for the 360. I hadn't played it for a while as my thumbs where hurting from the countless hours I played when I first received it last year. For those who haven't played it the graphics are outstanding and the gameplay with the controller flows very nice as well. It actually feels nice when you make a perfect combo.

For those who love sports games and especially combat sports games, you'll be excited to hear EA MMA is coming out soon. Although it doesn't boast many of the well known UFC fighters, it will feature Randy "the natural" couture, as well as several big name fighters from Overseas and Japan. One of my personal favorites is in the game, that being Kazushi Sakuraba who is known as the Gracie killer.

Most old school UFC fans know about the hall of famer Royce Gracie, but did you know he got dismantled by Sakuraba. Sakuraba was one of PRIDE FC best assets when the company was in its prime. He was very exciting and often would perform outrageous and innovative moves. Try to find some of his matches online, he does a mongolian chop in a few :D

Here's a link at youtube to the first royce gracie vs sakuraba match
