EA Sports UFC 2 hosting global tournament

Electronic Arts has announced the launch of Live Event Competitions, a brand new competitive experience in EA SPORTS UFC 2 Live Events mode.

Starting Saturday, May 14, fans around the world can play the qualifiers in the Live Event Competition to start fighting for their chance to earn Ultimate Team rewards and a trip to compete at the live finals coinciding with UFC Fan Expo, part of the 5th Annual UFC International Fight Week, and UFC 200: CORMIER vs. JONES 2 in Las Vegas.

The winner of the grand final match, taking place on Friday, July 8 at the UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas, will receive $10,000 USD and walk away with the belt as the EA SPORTS UFC 2 World Champion.

The semi-finalists will receive tickets to the landmark event and other special prizes. All players who compete in the Live Event Competition will have a chance to earn in-game rewards based on their overall performance.

Players enter the competition in Live Events on the EA SPORTS UFC 2 menu, select one of four athletes fighting on an upcoming card, customize their athlete by applying five out of 10 fighter perks, and start competing online. All available in-game fighters are balanced with the same overall attribute rating and move level. Rankings on the global leaderboard are determined by the number of wins a player can accumulate during the qualifying period before taking three losses.

EA SPORTS UFC 2 was released earlier this year for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
