EA Sports UFC has The Ultimate Fighter in career mode

EA Sports UFC will include The Ultimate Fighter in career mode for the first time in a UFC game.

The Ultimate Fighter is a reality show featuring up-and-coming warriors from all around the world, all competing for one contract with the biggest promotion in mixed-martial arts.

Now when players start a new career in the game they'll have to go through the show's format, improving grappling and striking skills in The Ultimate Fighter's iconic training facility.

Once you have your contract you'll be training with the biggest stars from the UFC and working to enhance your popularity and longevity.

There's also an XP system that you can use to level up and unlock new abilities, and game plans that you can try out for upcoming fights.

You can check out the latest clips from the game in the latest trailer below, or read our hands-on with a very early build of the fighter.

EA Sports UFC launches 17 June on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
