By: Kieran KirkThe gloves are off in the war between Dana White, the president of the UFC, and EA Sports over their new MMA game, ingeniously titled, MMA. White's anger doesn't stem from the new competition but instead of his past experiences pitching a new UFC game to them. Hit the jump for the details.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, White stated that "They wouldn't even take a meeting because mixed martial arts disgusted them. This wasn't a real sport. Boy, they got over that real quick, didn't they?" He also went on to threaten any other fighter that signed on to be part of the game saying "You won't be in the UFC." MMA has already claimed its first superstar in Randy "The Natural" Couture although Couture had resigned from the UFC before signing on to the game and then rejoining the UFC.
While most people would see this as an empty threat, White has always been an extremely honest businessman who isn't known to take shit from anyone. Honestly, I really like that White is taking a stand like this against a company who completely disrespected his way of life until it was time to make a quick buck. I really don't see any fighters risking their careers to appear in another mma game especially when the UFC has become the mma company to fight in. That being said unless EA can pull something out of their ass, MMA will fail miserably since this is going to be a game based on realism with very similar fighters and styles where every fighter can't have some kind of super dragon kick to differentiate them from the others.
