I hope you had a chance to watch some of the Strikeforce broadcast on CBS last Saturday night. It was proof-positive of the rising popularity of mixed martial arts that CBS gave a coveted primetime 9pm Saturday slot to the sport. The highlight of the card was of course Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers, and the action certainly lived up to the advance billing, with Fedor eventually dispatching Rogers, but only after surviving an early cut nose and a spirited fight into the second round.

We’re delighted to have announced that Strikeforce will be featured as a premier league in EA SPORTS MMA, and we used Saturday’s big event as a chance to release our first gameplay video from the game.  EA SPORTS MMA is making big strides in development at Tiburon and we’re confident this is going to be one of the most anticipated games of 2010.

If you missed it, be sure to check out the new video here and let me know what you think.
