Who’s A Pretty Boy Then? EA Add More Fighters To Their UFC Title

EA have added four more fighters to the forthcoming UFC game and they are a handsome bunch.

Below you can find stats and pictures of Joe Lauzon, Cung Le, Mike Easton and Donald Cerrone which I have CTRL-C’d from the EA website, because I know nothing about the game or these people and last time I tried to write about a sport people complained.
