Congrats to our guy! Jon Jones just keeps on making big moves! EA announced Jon ‘Bones’ Jones as one of two fighters to cover UFC’s first-ever game with EA SPORTS. Check out the details after the jump…
Via FoxSports:
Jones will soon have company: He’ll be joined on the cover by another UFC star, to be selected by the fans.
Voting for the second EA SPORTS UFC cover fighter begins today at UFC.com/covervote and will run until Dec. 1. The official retail cover featuring both fighters will be revealed during UFC 168, confirmed UFC officials.
The 16 candidates are Demetrious Johnson, Dominick Cruz, Urijah Faber, Jose Aldo, Benson Henderson, Georges St-Pierre, Johny Hendricks, Chris Weidman, Junior dos Santos, Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisping, Anthony Pettis, Daniel Cormier, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate and Gustafsson.
“It’s another one of those surreal moments, one of those moments you just have to step back and pinch yourself and realize I’m not dreaming,” Jones said of being selected.
The vote, sponsored by Metro PCS, consists of a weekly, round-by-round, head-to-head elimination tournament. Fans can vote as often as possible and double their voting power by using fighter-specific hashtags on “Twitter Vote Thursdays.” Each tweet with the proper hashtag will count as two votes.
