Interview with Ben Saunders

MMAJUNKIE.COM: I know you were very excited about the upcoming UFC video game. I also know UFC president Dana White told you that you could be in the game. Has there been any progress?

BEN SAUNDERS: Yeah, they (the developers) got in touch with me and flew me out. Dana told me it would happen, and if Dana says it's going to happen, it happens. I've been a fan of the UFC games for years, and it's a goal of mine to be in the game.

MMAJUNKIE.COM: What was that process like?

BEN SAUNDERS: They have a 3D scanning system, and they do a scan of your whole body. They also took a bunch of pictures from all different angles. Also they will take videos of my fights to study my movements and replicate them in the game. I told them it was cool if they just wanted to give me Anderson Silva's default skill set.

MMAJUNKIE.COM: Recent reports are saying we can expect the game to come out in spring of 2009. Have you heard anything?

BEN SAUNDERS: No, I haven't. That game can't come out soon enough. I've always played the UFC games on Dreamcast and PS2. I tried to create myself, but the custom characters sucked.

as the Rock said to Booker T - i will say to Ben Saunders............."Who are You" jajaja

He fights in the UFC.
