In late February, 1Up reported that EA Sports was throwing around the idea of a MMA title. We have word that this title will be acknowledged later today during their press conference.

The title at the moment is EA Sports MMA, and know it will be available on the PS 3 and Xbox 360. I can’t seem to get any further details at the moment, but I’ll let you know what I hear at the press conference this afternoon.

As we all know, THQ owns the rights to Ultimate Fighting Champions (UFC) so as to whether EA will hold a license from another company, we are not sure. There are plenty of other companies out there, such as M-1, Elite XC, and Pride.

EA Sports MMA is being developed by EA Tiburon.
