EB Games jumps on the UFC bandwagon

A Public Service Announcement for those of you out there who fancy those pesky real-life sports, or just enjoy a bit of reality television ...

It’s not often we see a story come across out desks that mentions gaming, real-life bloodsports and reality TV in one neat little package, so we couldn’t let this go by without at least a mention.

Sadly, no, there is no Survivor video game (…yet!) BUT fans of either the UFC or reality TV wonderfranchise The Ultimate Fighter who live in either Brisbane or Melbourne might want to get themselves down to EB Games later this week to meet and snaffle the autographs of a couple of the fighting worlds bigger characters.

UFC Lightweight and Ultimate Fighter Season 1 finalist Kenny Florian and Ryan Bader, winner of the reality shows eighth season, will be at the Melbourne store (Swantson St) on Thursday afternoon between 5 and 7, and then hotfooting it up to Brisbane for a session at the Albert St store between 4 and 6 on Friday afternoon. They’ll be signing things, shaking hands (if you’re game) and generally being intimidating but friendly, as these folks tend to be outside the cage.

But what does this all have to do with actual gaming, you ask? Well, not that much, but the events are taking place in a gaming store. And they’ll sign your copy of UFC Undisputed, if you ask them to. Isn't that enough?

Almost as cool as when GAME had a few top UFC fighters visiting their stores back when UFC 2010 was released. That was awesome.
