EA Sports MMA
EA Sports MMA is a mixed martial arts game for the Xbox 360 and PS3, developed by EA Tiburon.
EA Sports plans on releasing a game in the EA MMA franchise on a bi-yearly basis, alternating with the Fight Night franchise. So 2010 will have an MMA game, 2011 will have Fight Night Round 5, 2012 will have another MMA and so on. In addition to alternating with the Fight Night franchise, EA Sports MMA will feature a punching system similar to that of Fight Night's.
