Advanced primate/UFC light heavyweight Forrest Griffin graces the cover of the UFC’s new video game, due out later this year. It sure looks cool, but will it result in an MMA version of The Madden Curse? At least you can’t blame it for making him lose his belt. See? There’s always a bright side.

That's gotta be a fake fu--ing cover.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 11:54
haha
Sat, 03/14/09 - 11:56
Not good. They should have put a trendy Iceman/Rampage photo or something. Not a photo of Griffin where he looks ape like.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 11:56
looks like a photoshop, and i fucking hope it is.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:03
Looks like a fake. The "real" cover can't be that bad.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:04
I cant wait for this fucking game.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:05
Yeah! I hope that's not it because who cares about Forrest Griffin and this r-e-a-l-l-y matters. [end sarcasm]
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:06
Dana White VIA IGN says there is this cover and a GSP cover and that the game is released May 19.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:11
Will the virtual Forrest bleed profusely twenty seconds into rd 1 just like the real one?
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:11
I cant wait for this game either and yes the cover looks fake if Anderson Silva isnt the poster boy (providing he doesnt lose) when this game is put out something is really wrong. Or maybe Brock Lesnar if it needs someone that looks scary and will draw casual wwe crossover fans.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:12
Originally, Dana wanted to name the game 'UFC Two Thousand and Fuckin Nine Un-fuckin-Disputed' and have the cover design be a cartoon of Junie Browning pissing on the Affliction logo just like those Calvin stickers you see on the rear windows of pick up trucks.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:12
What's so bad about this cover. It's a video game.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:13
They were going to put Rampage on the cover but didn' want people thinking that the game was the new Grand Theft Auto!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:17
jesus. THQ = BAD GRAPHICS -___- i think they shoulda put anderson silva or gsp on the cover
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:32
GSP cover only for Canada! I hope this game is good.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:32
anderson silva should of been on this cover. what the hell! hes been the most dominate fighter for the past 2 years ... maybe even in ufc history ... forest fuckin griffin on the cover what a load of shit
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:36
Damn canucks get the GSP cover!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:37
Anderson Silva can't sell PPVs, why do you all think he'd sell games?
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:43
he cant sell ppv? ... ok, the next ufc is sold out and he is on the main event. im sure there is gonna be a shit load of people ording the ppv. as for the game, the people that are gonna be playing the game are going to be most likely mma fans. think about it
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:46
Sold out cause montreal wants blood!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 12:54
lol that cover was fugly looks sooo cheap...better be fake the real cover should not have any fighters on it makes it look like a old ps2 fighting game christ..
Sat, 03/14/09 - 01:16
Yea sorry Mexican if you look back at the previous Spyda events he's not a HUGE draw, I'm not sure why either granted he is what youve said about him but its known hes had a hard time with his drawing power. The next UFC is sold out because it's in Canada and we'll seel out a card if Matt fucking Hughes was headlining it, We're just some UFC fucking lunatics anywhere you put it in Canada will be a sell out in minutes again and again
Sat, 03/14/09 - 01:25
this is a picture of forrest from the video game . its a animated version not a real picture
Sat, 03/14/09 - 01:29
They didn't put Rampage because of when he went crazy in Orange County CA last year. No Chuck because obviously he is not the fighter he once was. They put Forrest because most people like him, and his carefree attitude. GSP is on the cover of the Canada version. And they made the decision about Forrest before he lost the belt. Remember you have to think about WHO can sell the game. THQ put alot of faith into Forrest, but the mma community knows that was a bad decision.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 01:31
No Anderson Silva because English is not his native language. Forrest will at least talk up the game and you will be able to understand him.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 01:45
As a graphic designer i am pretty certain that's a fake jobby. Infact, if that's the real cover, i'm Optimus Fucking Prime.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:03
So they bring in the fighters to scan them in great detail & at great expense, then they pull some shitty, out-of-focus screencap for the cover?
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:03
Mmmm.. why is the Cocoa Crispies monkey on the cover of the UFC video game????
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:33
WTF!....few months ago I was the only forrest griffin hater....conformists
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:34
well i guess we get the GSP cover up here in Canada. you might think thats good but its also going to be called "incontesté" in big letters with undisputed in small letters somewhere else. sweet.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:35
why does it say "15" on the bottome left? does this signify forrests amount of time with the belt?
Sat, 03/14/09 - 02:55
UFC 2009 Undisputed Coming to a bargain bin near you!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 03:39
NO!!!!!! This is like the Madden Curse!!!!! You're Fuct Forest!!!! Why couldn't it have been War Machine on the cover?!?!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 03:40
the reason forrest is on the cover would be due to his "ultra" popularity as mike goldberg would suggest. But for the cover i think couture should be on there, cause lets face it who actually doesnt like couture, hating couture would be like hating a cool version of your father.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:28
It's definately the real cover, they are reporting the same thing on UFC.com. I think it sucks as well but who really gives a shit as long as the game play is awesome.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:31
Its the cover of a fucking game get over it retards, its gona be stained from rolling joints on it 2 weeks after its opened any way.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:33
My beer shits after this past New Year's looked nicer than this cover.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:38
word is this game might not be released! looks like thq has lost tons of money and is thinking about putting a hold of most of their games in production and games coming soon. got to love this economy...even video games a f@cked. check out xbox mag for the story.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:54
Some of you people are the most negative I've ever encountered on this site. Nothing pleases you. "I don't like the graphics", "It shouldn't be Forest on the cover", "It looks airbrushed", you sound like a bunch of fuckin bitches. ITS A VIDEO GAME COVER, AND YOU MUTHA FUCKAS ARE NOT MARKETING EXPERTS!
Sat, 03/14/09 - 04:56
am i on crack or something? cuz i dig it.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:18
idiots will complain about anything. shut the f**k up and play the game. stop whining about the f*cking cover.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:22
Surely Forrest is not on the cover. I am a huge Chuck fan, almost cry like the bitch TUF Guy is when he loses, and If Chuck was on the cover I would have felt they could have gotten better. (Not much better with name and branding) How Goldie getting bent over and getting it put to him. (really, Chuck, Rampage (Chain and all with him howling, Couture which they would not do, Anderson, Rich, Rashad,) Heck, I guess Chuck isn't that bad a choice. He is near the end though so maybe some youth. I would go Chuck or Rampage but Page has that legal thingy going on. So Chuck. Anderson is retiring and can't speak English so... Yeah Chuck.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:25
whats wrong with Forrest? Hes my favorite fighter, good all around technically and tough as nails.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:34
Its a good cover... Niggas just be bitchin'
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:36
The cover is alright. I don't see what you're all crying about. They're not after the "ooooh sharp awesomeness" they're after action, hence out of focus, fake looking. The white shiz around him looks amateurish though. Forrest also draws mainstream people.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:48
The UFC also wants to be loyal to its soldiers, Forrest has for a long time been one. As has Chuck. Randy has not. I'm even surprised they used GSP, but that's just straight marketing.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 05:53
Piss Stained cunty fuck
Sat, 03/14/09 - 06:09
It's too bad Lesnar is not the cover boy. You would be able to hear the collective shit fit all the way from outer space.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 06:14
Who cares who's on the cover? unless you're a 3 year old and you dump out the game to play with the box
Sat, 03/14/09 - 06:22
i will not, i repeat, WILL NOT buy this game if this is the cover. when i buy a game i like looking at the cover for long periods of time until i forget what time really is. i wont be able to do that with this game if this is the cover. if i do end up getting it, i might actually just have to play the game itself seeing how fucked up this picture is.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 06:32
Ahhhh....despite what reports "rumors" have been posted on various site...aka cagepotato, and others, the game is being released Memorial Day. Yes THQ did some house cleaning but that was about 2 months ago, so all the new articles that they are firing more people is false. But i will say that THQ is praying that this game is a huge success! Remember you have to look at it from a marketing stand point. Chuck has only 2 fights in the past years. While people still know the name, he has not been fresh in peoples minds. Everybody knows Forrest from TUF. Every PPV the crowd goes crazy with yelling and chants. Its a decent choice.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 06:55
They should include a mini game with this where you can street race and hit poles and stuff. Yeah that would be cool.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 07:02
You should go play in oncomming traffic and do the world a favor
Sat, 03/14/09 - 07:26
is there a bonus level where you get a monster truck in a down town enviroment and you have to avoid bystanders and cops while the screen blacks out on you? that would be cool.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 07:46
Lot O' fagabefes here. Just a cover. Pirate it the right way, and you will never have to deal with the cover! Who cares about the cover. Plenty of great games had shitty covers. This game could be great or it could be shitty. One thing is for sure, though.... A lot of mma fans don't like this cover. Because of that, I don't believe this will be the cover when it releases. Too much negative feedback, and plenty of time till release, will guarantee a new cover.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 07:54
I could make a better photoshop cover with my eye closed, and using my penis instead of my hands.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 08:15
Damn, some of you guys will whine about anything, won't you? Go out, get laid, do something.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 08:58
I aint buyin this game no more
Sat, 03/14/09 - 09:09
Wait.. Why does he have six fingers on that cover? Bad editing?
Sat, 03/14/09 - 09:47
The Greg gets an extra prop for the Midnight Madness reference.
Sat, 03/14/09 - 10:28
If that actually is the cover, Dan Evensen got screwed.
Sun, 03/15/09 - 04:44
This isn't the cover. Go to Amazon.com and you can order it and they show you the cover. It's just black and says UFC 2009 Undisputed.
Sun, 03/15/09 - 06:56
bullshit!! i heard dan quinn was gonna be on the cover
Sun, 03/15/09 - 08:42
I agree with whoever it was talking about joints and rolling them. The cover doesnt matter at all because you don't play the cover, you play the game. And the game looks like its gonna be the shit, and I think the cover will definitely pass as a rolling tray.
Sun, 03/15/09 - 12:50
The really sad thing is that Mask, from Tapout, designed and was on the cover of all the other UFC video games (seriously, look closely, he is the guy being beat up on the covers by other famous fighters, like Tito Ortiz). It is just another reminder of his involvement in MMA, and that he is now gone.
Sun, 03/15/09 - 05:13
FUCK YAE FORREST GRIFFIN ON THE COVER THATS WATS UP
Sun, 03/15/09 - 06:08
I will NOT buy or even play this game unless it is a mmorpg with rts elements and super intense fps sequences and real time cut scenes and it takes place wthin the pokemon universe with crossover to Halo and an unlockable Hello Kitty character with skill points that earn golden guns and racing suspensions! So eat green lumpy shit THQ, you dirty thieving fuckin' bastards!
Mon, 03/16/09 - 09:31
They confirmed that Forest Griffin and Georges St-Pierre will be on the covers. I doubt this is the official cover art, its just someone's rough sketch of what they could possibly put on the cover when they found out who was chosen. Its a good call on both parts, yes we all have better ideas of who could be on the cover... but I'm more wondering if someone at THQ stuck Fedor in while the buisness was closed over the weekend. Digitally scanned him into the game and somehow through the Live marketplace or cheat code you get to unlock him :)
Mon, 03/16/09 - 10:25
Im English...i love England... I think you should put Michael Bisping on the cover of Undisputed cuse he's english...and he loves England....and he can beat anyone in the 185 division Michael Bisping can also beat anyone in the 205 division too...he just stepped down to 185 so that 205'ers like Rampage, Wanderlei, Lyoto and Rashad Evans could feel good about them selves. i have a soar throat from swalloing to much Bipsing man sauce...anyone have some english tea?
Mon, 03/16/09 - 11:37
thats the cover.... its terrible but deal with it i get the gsp cover since im canadian but i wouldn't care if it was worse than this i dont give a sweet flying fuck about the cover and the game looks good but i think the controls for ju juitsu is going to be really hard i hope thq doesn't fuck it up and make it all dramatic and shit like they did to SvR (even though i hate wrestling)..... fuck off brock lesnar
