Early Screenshot From 'UFC 2' Displays CM Punk's Rating, And MMA Fans Are Not Happy

Share this article

A steamer who was granted early access to the beta of EA Sports upcoming MMA game 'UFC 2' has given us a glimpse of the early ratings given to fighters for testing, and while nothing is final in terms of any ratings or stats, a lot of people are very upset with what they have seen.

Yes, it's only a game, but MMA fans who plan on buying 'UFC 2' did not expect to see CM Punk, a fighter with a record of 0-0 in MMA, have an overall rating of 85, and extremely well rounded stats.

Even worse is that his 'submission' rating is better than UFC legend BJ Penn. Again, it's only a video game.. But are the stats in the beta really going to be that different in the final version?

Keep in mind that Mike Tyson will be a playable character in this game, and will no doubt have at least a decent ground game in order to not be instantly defeated. Nevertheless, there's been some backlash to the screen shot that emerged, starting with UFC commentator Joe Rogan:

We're still eagerly anticipating the game of course, but the UFC were always going to include CM Punk due to his marketability which was always going to cause a stir considering we are still waiting to see his first MMA fight.
