Last week, a few days before their big pay-per-view, THQ and UFC hosted a slew of journalists for a night of hands-on play with this year’s video game version of their mixed martial arts competition.
Now, I need to preface the rest of this write-up with a bit of disclosure: I don’t follow UFC or any other MMA promotion and …
