EA announced the five-time MMA champion, with a record of 16-9, will co-headline the game along with the recently-announced Fedor Emelianenko.

“Like my fighting career, I look forward to taking on all comers in EA Sports MMA.”

EA's game faces stiff competition in the form of UFC 2009 Undisputed, which has proved a critical and commercial success  or THQ. UFC president Dana White has fuelled the rivalry between the games by revealing EA previously turned down his idea to make a UFC game. White subsequently banned any UFC fighters from signing up for EA's game.
