Be Water my friend.

EA Sports revealed that martial arts and movie icon Bruce Lee will make be a playable fighter in EA Sports UFC.

Creative Director Brian Hayes explains the decision to put Bruce in the game.

I feel like this is the most ridiculous question. Why put Bruce Lee in a UFC game? It’s. Bruce. Lee…

You have the premier organization in the fastest growing sport in the world, the UFC; and the most iconic martial artist in the history of the world, Bruce Lee – a martial artist renowned for his philosophies that laid the groundwork for modern mixed martial arts. I can’t conceive of a universe where bringing these two things together doesn’t make sense. I know there are going to be countless fans that feel the exact same way and they will be eager play with such a legend in the UFC Octagon. I am one of them.

EA Sports reached out to Bruce Lee Enterprises for reference material in order to render the most realistic-looking Bruce Lee Possible. And boy does Bruce look realistic in this game.

For anyone who says Lee shouldn’t be in EA Sports UFC, watch the first fight in Enter The Dragon to see why he should.

EASports UFC comes out this Spring, and people who preorder the game will have Bruce Lee as a day one unlocked character.
