EA Sports has announced a new fighting video game for the Xbox and PS3 set to debut in 2010 called EA Sports MMA. The game will follow on the heels of the popular game from THQ that launched recently called UFC 2009 Undisputed, which is fantastic.

EA Sports says that the MMA game will feature the most authentic and intense MMA experience to date and feature some of the best fighters in the world. With the UFC being the big leagues of MMA I wonder how well known the fighters in the game will be.

“With Fight Night Round 4 set to deliver a knockout with industry-leading visuals and genre-defining gameplay later this month, I couldn’t be more excited to announce the expansion of our combat sports strategy with EA SPORTS MMA coming in 2010,” said EA SPORTS President Peter Moore. “Fans have been begging EA SPORTS to get into the cage, and EA SPORTS MMA will put them in control of the sport’s unique combat experience while finally, in an immersive interactive experience, capturing the raw intensity that has made mixed martial arts one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We’re ready for the fight.”
