THQ has told Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter that it sold its Ultimate Fighting Championship franchise to Electronic Arts because it failed to break even on UFC Undisputed 3, which shipped 1.4 million units – 600,000 or so units short of the 2 million copies needed, reports Gamasutra. During EA’s E3 press event this week, UFC president Dana White took the stage to announce the transition of the UFC’s license to EA Sports, which will see the firm publishing multiple games, through a multi-year exclusivity deal. In the wake of the sale, THQ’s San Diego studio was shut down.

A demo for UFC Undisputed 3 has landed on PSN and XBL. The demo features a matchup between current UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones and current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. In addition, the Pride Mode rivalry between champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Wanderlei Silva is included. The demo also offers mirror matches against another player or AI as the same fighter for the “ultimate test of skill.” UFC Undisputed 3 is currently scheduled for release on February 14 PS3 and Xbox 360.
