Playable Versions of Mike Tyson in UFC 2

“We love that he’s a such huge fan of the UFC and MMA in general, and with a big focus in EA Sports UFC 2 being put on wonderful KOs, we hope fans have a blast playing as Mike Tyson and going toe-to-toe with the best fighters in the sport”. In order to sweeten the pre-order deal, Tyson – competing at both heavyweight and light heavyweight – will punch harder than anyone in the game.

UFC 2 launches on PS4 and Xbox One on March 17.

Two versions of Tyson will be available; “Iron” Mike Tyson based on his climb to stardom and string of invincible fights in the 1980s, and “Legacy” Mike Tyson, developed with the end of his illustrious career in mind.

Mike Tyson has admitted he is “honoured” to be included in the latest installment of the UFC computer game.

What are your thoughts on Mike Tyson coming to EA Sports UFC 2? Fans who pre-order the standard edition of game will get day-one access to “Iron” Mike Tyson.

If there’s anyone who captures the raw essence of fighting and its ferocity, it’s Tyson, who annihilated opponents to a 37-0 record, before suffering his first loss in a stunning February 1990 upset at the hands of James “Buster” Douglas.

The “EA Sports UFC 2” closed beta will feature four game modes, including UFC Ultimate Team and Skill Challenges. Those who buy the deluxe edition will receive both “Iron” Mike as well as “Legacy” Mike Tyson.

One of the more split online debates argues the victor of a fight between Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson, so it just makes sense that Mike Tyson would be the second legendary non-MMA fighter to join the series as a special guest playable character.
