14 DAY TRIAL // EA Sports has just revealed the entire roster of fighters for its upcoming mixed martial arts video game, fittingly titled EA Sports UFC, that is just about to be released on next-gen platforms.
The title is powered by EA Sports' robust in-house engine, Ignite, which is also running the company's other next-gen sports games, FIFA 15, Madden NFL 15 and NHL 15, and so far seems to offer an impressive level of fidelity.
