UFC Undisputed 3, from video game maker THQ is giving gamers the chance to vote for the fighter they would like to see on the cover. The video game is set to debut January 12th.
The fans can choose from Frankie Edgar, GSP, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones and Cain Velasquez. In addition to voting for their favorite fighter, fans will have the opportunity to win a trip to Las Vegas for UFC 137.
Look here for a promotion video for the game featuring Cain Velasquez.
Payout Perspective:
No Jose Aldo or Dominick Cruz? Unfortunately the snub is another sign that the UFC needs to build up its lighter divisions so that fans will become more familiar with them. With 125ers coming in 2012, it seems like this will be a necessity. Realistically, the UFC needs a major name in one of the major divisions to grace the cover of its new game.
The promotion is a similar to EA’s NCAA Football 2012 where fans voted for their favorite player on Facebook. Its still a good way to infuse interest in the video game and get MMA gamers interested in getting the game.
Careful, this didn’t work out well for EA Sports with Madden…
