EA Sports MMA to Feature Strikeforce as a Premier League
Written Friday, November 06, 2009 by Dan Webb

EA Sport's MMA title is going to have a tough time if it is going to replicate the success of the UFC title that THQ dropped this year. They aren't giving up without a fight though and to add to the few stars they currently have lined up, EA Sports today announced that Strikeforce, a world-class mixed martial arts fight promotion, will feature as a premier league in the upcoming title.

The deal with Strikeforce not only brings with it the commentary team of Frank Shamrock and Mauro Ranallo, ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr and MMA ref, "Big John" McCarthy, but it also brings the Strikeforce cage with it.

In addition to the Strikeforce license agreement, EA Sports today also announced that Brett Rogers and Jake Shields are to join the EA Sports MMA roster.

Look out for the EA Sports MMA coverage next week including interviews and our first impressions of the game.
