UFC 2009 Q&A

Console Fighter managed to secure a Q+A session with John Edwards, Senior Creative Manager at THQ about Undisputed. There isn't a whole lot of new information but that's to be expected with THQ having deals in place with major gaming sites like IGN and probably the print press as well for the reveal of exclusive game features or fighters.


It's still a good read and clears up some things people may have been wondering about.

You can read the Q+A in full here.


Sadly it doesn't look like full entrances will be included, so there goes my dreams of entering the Octagon to Credence Clearwater Revival. And no groin shots either, I bet we were all hoping to give our mates a cheeky knee in the crown jewels!

Response to 'hidden names'

After initially using a background full of fighter names when the official site was relaunched, the image was quickly changed when viewers started picking up on the names and speculating if those fighters would be in the UFC Undisputed.
An official response has been posted on the community section and reads as follows

Hi all,

We’ve noticed a lot of buzz about the “hidden names” present in our website background and the first fighter card for Georges St-Pierre. We love the enthusiasm / speculation, but we also want to clear up a couple of points.

The names were intended to add some graphical “texture” to the website, and have no connection to the roster for UFC 2009 Undisputed. To avoid any confusion, we’ve changed the background on the website and on the GSP “fighter card” to remove this texture.

We know that everyone is excited to hear the full list of fighters, and we’ll be releasing more details on the roster very soon. Be sure to check back for the latest, up-to-date info.

Seems a bit bizarre they'd use a bunch of names to add 'texture', and using gatekeepers like Nate Quarry, Keith Jardine and Chris Leben seems strange as well.
I'd still wager the names mentioned will feature in the game
