UFC The Game! Pure Class or Sucks Ass?
It’s time for UFC the video game. Has to be said, looks cool and we’re guessing that the Bash Brothers are about to become the first UFC Game Addicts on record.
Will the UFC Game be a hit… …or will it vanish into obscurity and be laid to rest with the PrideFC game?

Cannot wait for this one. Gonna make an exact replica of myself and knock the shit out of Matt hughes
Sounds mad alright. Funny how anyone that’s read Matt’s book ends up wanting to wipe the snot off him….
Looks good alright, as long as they don’t make a balls of the ground fighting, just hope the gameplay doesn’t get too repetitive either.
I wonder whether its similar to the WWE games. You’ve got full mount and you’re beating someone up and then suddenly another fighter comes from behind and hits you with a steal chair!!!
Looks like a good buzz. I see a few Kokoro tournaments on this in the future. Wonder if they’ll put Randy in…
Yeah a tournament would be great. I’ve already got the slogan.
Kokoro Fighting Championships (KFC) – No Chickens allowed!!
Come on admit that it’s catchy.
That’s pretty good. And I could demolish a zinger tower burger now.
Here Shane, maybe we could ask KFC for a bit of sponsorship – they could throw us a few family buckets or a rake of hot wings next time we head up to Ultimate Conflict. Leo is living proof that it’s good pre-fight grub.
Yeah but Leo’s made of different stuff to us mere mortals! I’d thought of KFC before. Will definitely have to have tournament when it comes out though.
Hey there was no tournment
I’m no Shane Thomas in the gym, but when it comes down to the game, people have compared me to Fedor!
Comments like:
”hey prick you play this game more than Fedor trains, you c**ksucking loser”, and,
”You motherf**king, d*cksucking,son of a bitch (…the tirade continues in this vein for some time until finally…) your online tag is the Last Emperor, well I saw your mother in a porno with Fedor last week. It was called the Last Emp-WHORER… ROFL lololol ttyn loser”
*melodramatically wipes tear from eye*
