EA has announced that Randy Couture, one of the most popular fighters in MMA history, will co-headline EA Sports MMA alongside recently announced, Fedor Emelianenko.

“I have been a part of MMA for over 10 years and I am excited about the global visibility that a game like EA Ssports MMA will bring to the sport,” said Randy Couture. “Like my fighting career, I look forward to taking on all comers in EA Sports MMA.”

Randy Couture is a 6’1″, 220 pound heavyweight, who currently holds a 16-9 record and is a five-time MMA champion. Couture, a living legend in the MMA world, utilises his wrestling expertise to take down and control opponents before finishing them off with ground and pound strikes.

This isn’t Couture’s first foray into video games; he was featured in EA’s Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 as Commander Warren Fuller.

Jay “The Thoroughbred” Hieron, a high-profile fighter, also joins the EA Sports MMA roster.

EA Sports MMA promises to feature the most authentic, intense and broad mixed martial arts experience to date – complete with a vast array of top fighters and fighting styles from around the world. The game is in development for Xbox 360 and PS3.
