More than 80 fighters past and present will be featured in the "UFC Undisputed 2009" video game, which will be available on XBox 360 and Playstation 3 on May 19.
GameSpot.com has the scoop for the THQ-produced offering -- the first for promotion since Ultimate Fighting Championship: "Sudden Impact" back in 2004. And it has a few surprises, including a heavyweight division that looks nothing like it does right now.
In fact, former champions Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia, as well as Mirko Cro Cop and Fabricio Werdum, are all represented. Meanwhile, surging star Shane Carwin -- even Randy Couture -- are not.
Some good news is the the late Evan Tanner will be included. And even former number one welterweight contender Jon Fitch -- after a dust up that nearly cost his his job over a contract dispute -- is also part of the line up.
Have a look for yourself:
