EA Mobile’s ‘UFC’ Gets New Cover Athlete, Ronda Rousey

TouchArcade Rating:

EA Sports’ UFC (Free) game has found a new cover athlete and a new feature. Ronda Rousey, the top women’s fighter in the world, is now in the game, along with six other women’s bantamweight division fighters. Not that any of them can really stand up to Ronda Rousey. Her last fight was so short that it could be posted on Instagram in its entirety, because it lasted 14 seconds. So yeah, if you think you’re gonna be the one to beat her in the game, I’m guessing it’s not going to be that easy.

Ronda Rousey is also the new cover athlete for the game’s icon, after Jon Jones, the previous star, was allegedly involved in a felony hit and run. Plus, considering that Ronda Rousey might be the biggest household name in UFC right now thanks to her utter dominance, it makes sense to have her be the replacement. This also brings the mobile game into some parity with the console version, as they’ve had women fighters for a while now.

      But they can't fix their other games...

        There should be a "Sega Cycle" joke.

      Despite being forced I think it's both cute and hilarious to see Red rolling around and bouncing and making funny noises between stage sections.

      Sega and Capcom should combine forces and do a Sonic/MegaMan crossover, auto-runner game.

      Two beloved franchises and characters, run into the ground by companies who don't give a flying fu%$ about the fans or especially the characters that people identify the companies with.

      I wonder if there will be Red the Bird(Angry Bird Sonic).
