You may be right, here. It's really hard to keep track of all the verbal diarrhea that comes out of Dana White.
mrbagdt said:the ufc getting pissed about fighters not being in THEIR game is another subject and is one that i think that zuffa would get pissed about and actually act on. they invest the time making you a star, they would expect you to be in their game, as was the case with fitch.
Absolutely. In those cases, Zuffa actually has some level of bargaining power. But even that isn't cut-and-dry. It will be interesting to see how they handle the situation with Couture if he is in fact in the EA game.

Hehe, to be honest, I don't even know if they're still running them. I was going to say "Bellator Tourney" but didn't think that was "inside" enough.
And, apologies if my response came off a bit-over-the-top and assholey. My excuse is that I'd just woken up which tends to amplify my already high dickhead quotient.
For what it's worth, this is all probably meaningless to argue about. As others have said, the EA game likely won't sell for shit regardless of who's in it. Of course, as a gamer and MMA fan and after playing Fight Night extensively, I absolutely cannot wait to see what they do with the sport. Shit, I'll be content just playing as my face-scanned self provided the gameplay system is deep enough.
