Back in E3 at the LA Convention Center, Electronic Arts announced their brave new stab into the mixed martial arts gaming scene, EA Sports MMA for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

“We’re ready for the fight,” EA Sports chief Peter Moore said in a press release. That comment may have been made in reference to UFC 2009 Undisputed (PS3, Xbox 360) from THQ, which EA Sports MMA is gonna square off in the industry octagon with.

They’re both not ready yet, so there won’t be getting it on anytime soon. As far as EA Sports MMA is concerned, EA is targetting a 2010 release.
