"Fist of Fury" Chinese Theatrical Poster
EA (via IGN) has announced that Bruce Lee will be featured in EA’s upcoming UFC 2014 for PS4 and Xbox One. The martial arts legend – and star of Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury – is widely considered the “father of mixed martial arts.” In the 1960s, Lee developed Jeet Kune Do, a non-classical combination of multiple martial arts styles rolled into one. Lee’s concept practically became the basis for the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) phenomenon.

Update: Here’s some all new gameplay footage of Bruce lee in UFC 2014. Pre-ordering the game for PS4 and Xbox One will unlock Lee from the moment you boot up the game, but he’ll otherwise be available to anyone that successfully completes the game’s career mode on Pro difficulty, at which point he’ll be unlocked for use in four different weight classes.
I saw the announcement on facebook. Man, the details they did on Bruce looks phenomenal. It made me realize that if he was still alive… chances are he would’ve done UFC. It’s a gut feeling. Just seeing him in that octagon ring… felt like home, it felt right. Bruce would so do it. Jackie Chan on the other hand would NEVER lol. Lee would give those martial artist movie stars a run for their money.
