Winner Of Jose Aldo-Conor McGregor Will Appear On Cover Of "UFC 2"

EA Sports today announced that the winner of the Jose Aldo-Conor McGregor fight headlining UFC 194 will appear on the cover of the "UFC 2" video game alongside Ronda Rousey. The cover will be unveiled immediately after the Dec. 12 featherweight championship bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fans can participate in the effort by predicting the outcome of the bout on UFC.com/EASports (UFC).

UFC President Dana White appeared on several ESPN shows today and discussed Rousey remaining a recognizable star despite her recent loss. White: "Her pay-per-views were so big because people who normally did not buy were buying. And even in her loss, she has even become more famous." White said of a Holly Holm-Rousey rematch, “Me and Lorenzo (Fertitta) should probably lose our promoter’s license if we didn’t make that rematch. Yeah, that fight’s going to happen” (“Mike & Mike,” ESPN Radio, 12/3).
