News: EA Sports has released some new details about EA Sports UFC 2 and when you can expect to play it.

EA Sports UFC 2 is set to be released on March 15 and will have both Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor on the cover. To help celebrate this announcement they also released a trailer that features some of the biggest moments from recent fights. The trailer opens with Conor showing off the new Knockout Physics System in his championship fight at UFC 194. From there you will see Dynamic Grappling and Next Level Submissions while reliving some of the most intense moments from recent bouts.

“Whether fans want to play upcoming cards, recreate the outcome of recent fights, or go back to fight with MMA legends, we’ll help them do that in the most authentic and exciting way ever in an MMA simulation,” said Brian Hayes, Creative Director. “Our first two pre-order fighters, Bas Rutten and Kazushi Sakuraba are perfect additions to what is already the biggest roster ever for an official UFC game. Adding them is huge, and fans are going to go nuts when we reveal who the mystery fighter is. I can’t wait.”

If you pre-order EA Sports UFC 2 you will get day one access to two legendary fighters: UFC Hall of Fame and three time King of Pancrase, Bas Rutten as well as Japanese MMA legend, “The Gracie Hunter” Kazushi Sakuraba, with an additional mystery fighter who will be named later. The deluxe edition of EA Sports UFC 2 also includes up to $60 of UFC Ultimate Team Premium Packs.

This newest iteration in the EA Sports UFC license will be headline by five brand new game modes including KO Mode and UFC Ultimate Team, a revamped Career Mode that lets fans create female fighters for the first ever in an official UFC game and Grapple Assist, an integrated visual tool to help you learn and perfect takedowns, ground game transitions and submissions.

Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Keep in mind that Xbox One owners that are EA Access members will get five days early access and will be able to play this game beginning on March 10. Are you excited for EA Sports UFC 2? Will you pre-order it to get the special bonuses?
