It was announced earlier today at the UFC Fan Expo in Houston, Texas by UFC President Dana White that the fans had voted for the reigning pound for pound king Anderson Silva would be the cover athlete for THQ’s latest UFC video game, UFC Undisputed 3.
Fans had the opportunity to vote on their favorite cover athlete over the last month. Their choices were Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, Georges St. Pierre, Frankie Edgar and the winner of course Anderson Silva. Anderson stated “I’m very happy, Thank you to my fans and my family. For me this is a great, great, great dream.”
Now the question is, will the video game cover athlete bug come in to play. We all know that every athlete featured on the cover of Madden or NHL has turned into a dud the next year. Sucka’s will this happen to Anderson Silva?
UFC Undisputed 3 is slated for a January 2012 release. This will be the third installment of the series since their debut UFC Undisputed back in 2007.
