UFC Undisputed 3 has named its cover athlete, and that man is the current UFC Middleweight Champion and universally accepted pound-for-pound greatest MMA fighter, Anderson “The Spider” Silva.
The selection is the result of a fan vote between five of the UFC’s reigning champions: Frankie Edgar (Lightweight), Georges St-Pierre (Welterweight), Anderson Silva (Middleweight), Jon Jones (Light Heavyweight), and Cain Velasquez (Heavyweight). Featherweight and Bantamweight champions were not under consideration for the cover. Over 120,000 votes were cast, and the incredibly popular and seemingly unbeatable Silva (who hasn’t tasted defeat in almost six years) received the most votes.
As its name implies, this will be the third entry in the Undisputed series, and it brings a large number of improvements over its predecessors, including an improved submission system, PRIDE rules as an option, various ground and clinch fighting improvements, and the usual improved graphics.
UFC Undisputed 3 will be released on January 3 for the XBox 360 and Playstation 3.
