Legacy Mike Tyson and classic Mike Tyson in EA Sports UFC 2. (Provided by Electronic Arts)
Mike Tyson is coming to the Octagon.
Well, a virtual version of it anyways. Electronic Arts announced Wednesday that the former heavyweight boxing champ will be a playable character in the upcoming EA Sports UFC 2. He will be available with a pre-order of the game’s deluxe edition.
The game has old-school Iron Mike, as well as bald, tattooed faced Tyson. The pre-order offer also includes UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten and Kzushi Sakuraba.
, the digital Tyson is seen wrecking his opponents with a barrage of punches and elbows. My question is — just like it was to Ronda Rousey in her bout against Holly Holm — why are Tyson’s opponents in the virtual octagon trying to outstrike him? You don’t outbox a boxer.
EA Sports UFC 2 is slated to be released March 15 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
