EA should be punished. I really hope their sports game will be the one that flops for once.

I think it's great that the UFC game was so successful. MMA is a new and exciting sport, one of the few that I care about, and I hope it will gain popularity and challenge boxing some day.

Why was the UFC game such a sales success btw?

I think it already does challenge boxing. At least, it does in videogame sales. It's running circles around Fight Night, and it has pretty much killed the Smackdown series. I think UFC 2009 was so successful because the sport was gaining immense popularity, and it filled a very needed gap.

Yeah, MMA is the most popular Non boxing pay per view event ever now.

Already beat wrestling... and i believe it's pay per view numbers crush CURRENT Boxing.  Only failing vs older boxing when it had stars.
