UFC 2009 Undisputed Cover Art
The cover art for the upcoming UFC 2009 Undisputed video game by THQ has been revealed. Most MMA fans in the United States will get Forest Griffin as their cover boy.
March 13, 2009 – THQ and Zuffa today announced that Forrest Griffin has been tapped to appear on the worldwide cover of UFC 2009 Undisputed. Griffin is a former light heavyweight champion after winning his UFC contract on Spike TV “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show in 2005.
Canada will see a special cover that will only be available to Canucks. It features Georges St-Pierre, a Quebec native. St-Pierre is currently the welterweight champion and was recently named Canada’s Athlete of the Year for 2008.
“Forrest Griffin and Georges St-Pierre helped elevate UFC to the place we are today,” said Dana White, president, UFC. “We are confident that these two fighters’ many strengths both inside and outside the Octagon will have the same effect on UFC 2009 Undisputed as we prepare for the game’s worldwide launch on May 19.”
Both versions of UFC 2009 Undisputed will ship on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 19. We’ll have the GSP box art exclusively on IGN at a later date.
Personally, it looks like I’ll have to have some of my friends north of the border in Canada hook me up with a copy of the Georges St. Pierre version.
The game currently has a tentative release date of June 2, 2009.
