EA UFC 4 is set to have a huge roster but won’t feature Marvin Vettori, for now

Italian UFC star Marvin Vettori is upset over the fact that he hasn’t been included in the roster of the EA UFC 4 game.

This is the fourth iteration of the massively popular franchise from EA Sports, but they seem to have not taken everyone in the roster.

The game, according to reports, features over 250 fighters across the men’s and women’s divisions. It includes many legends who have retired from the sport while the top stars from the promotion are also featured.

Israel Adesanya and Jorge Masvidal are the cover athletes for the game, but Vettori seems to have missed the boat.

A Twitter account hauled up the UFC for omitting the Italian, and Vettori also asked EA Sports to “do something about it”:

People getting mad @EASPORTSUFC gotta do something about it 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://t.co/7AtJfbG137

Ali Abdelaziz, one of the best MMA agents and managers around, further retweeted Vettori’s request and it will be interesting to see if EA Sports does something about this.

An update to fix this problem?

The 26-year-old Vettori is one of the rising stars in the Middleweight division and is currently 15-4-1 in his MMA career.

Vettori also is on a three-fight win streak and his last loss came against Adesanya. However, the Italian has looked impressive ever since that defeat and was last in action at UFC: Eye vs Calvillo.

EA Sports could fix this issue by sharing an update, which isn’t uncommon in the games world. They could also post a patch to fix some of the early problems and include some of the stars that they missed out on.

It isn’t easy to include all the stars in the UFC and legends too. There are hundreds of fighters across the divisions, but Vettori is probably one of them who should have been included in all this.
