This really isn't ideal for Electronic Arts.

It's like the promotion for UFC 2 was cursed from the beginning and the bad luck just continues:

Mere days after announcing UFC female champ Ronda Rousey as the cover star of the publisher's new UFC effort, Rousey gets bitch-smacked by Holly Holm . And again, just a few days after revealing the fighter ratings for the game – where we found out Conor McGregor had the highest overall score for stand-up fighters – the supposedly unbeatable McGregor falls to Nate Diaz in UFC 193 . Really, you can't make this stuff up.

It really does appear as if this franchise has inherited the dreaded "Madden Curse," doesn't it? And all this just a mere week before UFC 2 is slated to release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
