UFC 2 is looking to shake things up with the announcement that famous (or infamous?) boxer, Mike Tyson, is on his way to enter the Octagon in EA Sports UFC 2. The bonus character unlocks through a preorder of the upcoming game, which also includes Bas Rutten and Kazushi Sakuraba as playable fighters.

What’s that you say? Mike Tyson isn’t and never was a UFC fighter? Well, that may be true, but there’s nothing wrong with imagining what might happen if he did enter the sport at the height of his athleticism and fighting skill. The preorder bonus includes both his young heavyweight boxer version, as well as an older “legacy” Mike Tyson, complete with face tattoo. 

You can check out more from the creative team about why they chose to include Mike Tyson over on EA’s official page. UFC 2 is set to release on March 15 for PS4 and Xbox One. Get a taste of the action with the Tyson-themed trailer below.
