EA Sports' insanely ripped fighter UFC 3 will be available to play free this weekend on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the developer has announced.

If you fancy getting into a virtual punch-up or just need some inspiration for hitting the gym (hey, those guys and gals are packing some envious abs), you can play the game without spending a penny now until 6.00pm BST on April 9.

The free trial just happens to coincide with the UFC 223 mixed martial arts event this Saturday in New York, which recently attracted mainstream press attention following the arrest of lightweight champion Conor McGregor. 

Players will be able to test out a number of popular combatants in the free trial, as well as taking the G.O.A.T. career and Knockout modes for a spin across five hours worth of gameplay.
