UFC Undisputed 3 Releases Light Heavyweight Roster

The highly-anticipated UFC Undisputed 3 video game for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 is just a few short months away from being released on January 3rd, 2012.

The game will be headlined around UFC Middleweight champion, Anderson Silva who will be featured on the front cover.

And while UFC fans must wait until early 2012 until they have full access to UFC Undisputed 3, ESPN.com recently revealed the light heavyweight roster.
