Publisher THQ, known for its strength in the wrestling game market, recently announced that it has acquired the complete video game rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship through to 2011.

THQ’s unparalleled development and pedigree in the fighting/action-sports genre, in addition to their leading position as a global publisher, makes them our best partner to deliver on this objective.”
