Those of you who like a bit of ultimate fighting will be pleased to hear that THQ has announced a new UFC game.

Ultimate Fighting Championship 2009: Undisputed is the latest in series of games based around the leading mixed martial arts competition.

The latest one will feature more than 80 of the sport's top fighters as well as popular commentators, referees and of course 'octagon girls'. Photo-realism has been bandied about with regard to the graphics - watch the trailer to see for yourself.

You can expect all the usual blood, sweat and tears, plus as an innovative 'rippling' system to accentuate particularly crunchy impacts. UFC's newer, less permissive ruleset specifically outlaws "Putting a finger into any orifice or into any cut or laceration on an opponent", so Tom's special 'Hello Sailor' finishing move will be off the books this time around.

Expect to find yourself being pummelled into submission by the likes of Quinton Jackson and BJ Penn as early as next spring on PS3 and 360.
