You know EA’s MMA iPhone game is good, but I’m more of an UFC fan than I am a MMA fan. Surprising everyone, THQ Wireless has began rolling out UFC Undisputed 2010 (iPhone AND iPad) in New Zealand for $6.99:

“So … you want to be a fighter? UFC® Undisputed™ 2010 is the only mixed martial arts (MMA) videogame that delivers the action, intensity and prestige of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC). Step into a simplified virtual handheld Octagon™ on the iPhone and iPad to experience fast-paced and fun MMA action with more than 25 of the best UFC fighters in the world.”

Features

OH MY GOD! From the look of the screens, these are the fighters already confirmed: Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar. These are some of who you should expect to round up the 25 list: George St Pierre, Michael Bisping, Chuck Lidell, and Forrest Griffin.

It bodes well for the studio to make this game universal. The gesture control system sounds very intriguing as well. We’ll have a full review of the game sometime this week once we get some playing time with it.
