A mystery fighter was announced as a playable character with various clues for fans to guess who it was. Using the clues such as born in America, never has fought for the UFC and showing the colours yellow and black (that classic outfit) we believe it could be… BRUCE LEE! Check back for confirmation.
Update:
We have confirmation from EA that the mystery fighter will indeed by the legend that is Bruce Lee. He will be a pre-order bonus but you can also obtain him via beating the Career Mode, check it out below. Alongside that confirmation,EA have also announced that the game will release on Xbox One come June 17th or June 20th depending on your location.
For the long serving fans of UFC I don’t even have to explain who Royce Gracie is but for those who don’t know he’s a vital part of history and he’s in this game. The winner of the first ever UFC tournament and the only three time tournament winner will be playable by doing one of two things. You can get your hands on Gracie by either completing the Career mode on at least Pro difficulty or pre-ordering EA Sports UFC from GAME for instant access.
