IGN.com has confirmed that Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson will be on the roster of the upcoming UFC 2009 Undisputed video game. Here’s Kenny’s thoughts on being in the game.

“I was hooked on Resident Evil for Wii, and I was hooked on Zelda for a while. When I’m in training camp I don’t have too much time to play, but after fighting I try to wind down with some videogame playing,” began Florian. “It’s crazy man. Never in my life would I expect to be in a videogame, so the fact that I get to be in a videogame – I think it’s unbelievable. I’ve been playing videogames my entire life, and when it’s all said and done, when I die, I’ll be able to say that I was in a videogame, which is pretty cool.”

And Joe’s.

“The videogame is a way to live forever,” said Stevenson. “And, me also having four boys, I think it’s an awesome opportunity and my kids are going to be very excited to say, ‘Look Dad! I’m winning!’ Or, if they’re mad at me, to say, ‘Look, you’re getting your butt kicked!’ As a father, that’s just wonderful.”

THQ’s UFC 2009 Undisputed has been on display at the 2008 Games Convention this week. GameSpot.com got a chance to speak with the game’s producers about their latest progress.

Here’s a quick rundown of the details.

• 3,000 moves
• 200 submission moves (must include submissions from different positions and variations)
• 100 “cut zones” from which a fighter can bleed from
• Context-sensitive strikes

Poor Rampage got his “ass whooped” in the revised trailer. C’mon THQ, it wasn’t a one-sided affair.

[UPDATE 7/16/2008 1:11AM] - The official website for UFC 2009 Undisputed is up.

Rampage vs Forrest - Round One

This isn’t just the edited trailer you’ve already seen. It’s the whole fight, complete with Rampage in the background yelling at himself on the screen. Funny stuff.

Video loaded slow for me. Try hitting pause, letting it load, and coming back. I’ll replace with a better version if I find one.

Part two after the jump.
