First and foremost, props to Ryan Loco for tweeting about the UFC Undisputed 2010 launch party at M2 Ultralounge in NYC that I forgot about entirely. If not for him, I’d have sat at home hitting the refresh button on Dana White’s twitter page for the next 5 hours to see what Pinkberry he’d be unloading the last of free tickets to UFC 111. I walked in, name-dropped my way into press credentials and below you’ll find what I was able to capture with my $6,300 of Nikon goodness.

As far as gameplay goes… This game is friggin incredible. If you liked UFC Undisputed 2009, this year’s version is more fluid, with more realistic transitions and the ability to initiate submissions standing up, or from the bottom position. None of that mattered to me, I went right for Cain Velasquez and mashed the buttons to oblivion. The only thing more gratifying than unloading a flurry of haymakers in UFC Undisputed 2010 were the delicious bite-sized BLTs the caterer was passing out. Tracy Lee knows what I’m talking about. Tonight was baller and I can’t wait to have my very own copy in May. The only part that sucks about that is that we actually have to wait until May.

Holy shit, the graphics look sick! Still, I'm way more excited about EA MMA. UFC 2009 was brutal after the first couple weeks of playing.

Wow...i have never seen a late stoppage like this esp. by Herb Dean.

What did THQ think when implementing this?

At the presser they were all bitching about one or two extra blows because of the fighters health and in their video game it's fire at will after the KO or what?

I'm not a fan of it in real life, but it seems like somewhat odd to have the game end abruptly as soon as the KO is thrown.

That wasn't a late stoppage, the screen goes all gray like that when you're "rocked", the character could of still gotten up at that point, and as soon as he just covered his face, (not intelligent defense) the fight was stopped.

EA is going to have to be somewhat robotic as well. More than anything, the roster is what makes me want Undisputed more... Though I'll end up buying both because I have a softspot for Japanese MMA.

Looks pretty good. Still hoping that EA MMA will be the better game though.

I wonder if they really gave all of their fighters enough attention this time or if they just sticked to the top10 in every division instead. Either way I will pick it up on day 1, looking forward to the demo aswell.

As for the roster I find EA MMA more interesting but thats probably because its just too easy how Undisputed puts 100 fighters together while I am currently hoping for certain fighters to make the cut for the EA MMA game. Yeah, you probably dont have any idea what I am talking about, I dont really do either.

Game should be fun though.

I guess you had to have been there cause the graphics haven't improved much so the pics just make it look like the same game.

Any word on how the ground game works? Mainly whether or not they're making the transition block timed or can people keep holding it without any timing and just GnP to a win online?

So you got credentials no problem? I heard UFC is pretty tight when it comes to that sort of thing.

I used the official MiddleEasy method to get my credentials... By offering the bouncer a delicious taco.
