Here are 6 new screen shots I took from Dana White's video blog from UFC 2009 Undisputed, I know some of you are dieing for for its release as much as I am.

Nogueira's head hitting the Octagon showed how the close THQ payed attention the difference of Knockouts in MMA as opposed to Boxing. Nogueira's head hitting the canvas looked as brutal and real as it should have, but not over the top either.

The game moved fluid on the ground and the fighters were not doing any moves you would not imagine them doing in real life. The action looked a little stiff when Lesnar was trying to land shots standing, but can easily be made to move a bit more fluid as the came comes closer to release and glitch removing process takes place. As you can see in the screen shots below, the replay system looks as good as Fight Night's at first glance, you can even see a cut on Nogueira's cheek and the sweat flying off of his chin as well.

The sound was incredible as we got to hear Adam Goldberg guide us through the "Tale of the tape" and Bruce Buffer announce the fighters, and it sounded as real as it does for every UFC event. Graphic wise it looked incredible from the upclose shots on Nogueira's face to the ground game, you can see THQ paid attention to small details. When Lesnar is taken to the ground you can see him look to land quick punches as Nogueira looks for a dominant position. I am really excited about the game's release in the second quarter of 2009.

I originally posted this on my site URDirt.com, but Iam a big fan of B.E the whole staff busts their ass when it comes to delivering NEWS to their fans.
