Jon Jones to seem on ‘EA Sports UFC’ Cover

Publisher EA today announced that the quilt of the approaching EA Sports UFC game will feature UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
“It’s a gigantic honor to be selected as one of several fighters to seem at the cover of EA Sports UFC,” said Jones. “I am an incredible fan of EA Sports and appearing on a canopy is a type of stuff you dream about as a child. I’ll definitely be following the canopy vote to work out which fighter the fans decide to join me because the face of the sport.”
Jones will share the duvet with one more UFC fighter, to be determined by a voting tournament that starts today. The tournament includes 16 popular UFC fighters along with Georges St-Pierre and Ronda Rousey. The outlet round of voting ends on November 10, with another round opening the following day. The tournament can have rounds each week in November, culminating with the general round on November 25.
In addition to the quilt announcement, EA today also released a brand new trailer for this year’s UFC. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t actually contain much footage of the sport. Very few behind-the-scenes glimpses of game art may be seen in-between footage of classic UFC matches:
