The first two editions of the UFC and THQ's Undisputed video game franchise featured Forrest Griffin and Brock Lesnar on the cover. Now, for the upcoming UFC Undisputed 3, they are leaving the cover up to the fans.
By visiting www.ufc.com/ufcundisputed3 between now and September 30 at 12PM PT, fans can vote on one of five fighters to grace the cover: UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar, UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre, UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones or UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez.
Also, by voting, fans 21 and older in the United States and Canada can be entered into a sweepstakes to win tickets to a future UFC event.
"Letting fans vote for the UFC Undisputed 3 cover athlete is a unique way for us to connect with our extensive worldwide audience of UFC fans, fighting game enthusiasts and more casual sports followers," said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Games, THQ. "We look forward to seeing if Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre or Cain Velasquez has what it takes to grace the cover of what will be the most invigorating MMA videogame release to date."
"We are excited to let fans choose the cover athlete for UFC Undisputed 3," UFC President Dana White said. "Frankie, Georges, Anderson, Jon, and Cain are five of the most popular athletes in our sport and each wants to be on the cover. We love making our fans a part of the process and we'll leave this one up to them."
