The Full EA UFC 3 Roster Released, Many Fighters Didn't Make The Cut

Fight fans are fervently waiting for the release of the next big UFC sponsored video game. Now video game publisher Electronic Arts has revealed the full roster for their next big game.

EA snagged the rights to the UFC platform after the closing of fellow publisher THQ. Since then, EA has been pumping out titles EA Sports UFC, EA Sports UFC 2 and is now finishing up EA Sports UFC 3.

EA Sports UFC 3 is being developed by the publisher’s internal development team EA Canada and is set to release Feb. 2. With the release date now fast approaching, EA has decided to reveal the full roster for the upcoming addition to the series.
