EA has announced that they have signed Russian brawler Fedor Emelianenko to headline their MMA title, along with fellow Strikeforce fighters Gegard Mousasi and Renato Sobral.

The signing of Emelianenko is not just EA grabbing the scraps from the MMA table, it is in fact quite a power play, since he is currently the top ranked heavyweight fighter in the sport. This is definitely a sign of intent from EA to get some real talent in their game to compete with THQ's UFC Undisputed franchise.

With UFC president Dana White threatening to ban any fighter from his stable who stars in the competing franchise, it will be interesting to see what EA's next move will be to get the big names on their side.
