One of the cool things about EA Sports MMA is that the game will have live weekly broadcasts featuring online gamers. EA will find the best and/or most-interesting fighters, and then put together a live event with real announcers, real prizes, and hundreds of real gamers watching online. 

In the course of reviewing the game for EGM, I was fortunate enough to try this feature out in a bout against Marc Taylor, the lead QA tester on the project. I use the term "fortunate" loosely, because this dude has been eating, breathing, and sleeping this game for the last few months. Hopefully that didn't spoil the ending for you.

OK, enough yapping. Please enjoy the live broadcast of Alistair Overeem (me) vs. Bob Sapp (Marc Taylor). Let's get it on!

Please note: This is an unoptimized build of the game, running on debug hardware. There's some minor stuttering that shouldn't be present in the final retail product.
