Top-ranked UFC contenders Calvin Kattar and Pedro Munhoz have finally been added to the “EA Sports UFC 4” video game.
The streaking Kattar (22-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) has emerged as a player in the featherweight division after winning four of his past five. He is currently coming off back-to-back wins over Jeremy Stephens and, most recently, Dan Ige in the UFC on ESPN 13 main event in July and stands at No. 8 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie featherweight rankings.
Meanwhile, after winning three straight fights, including a knockout of former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, Munhoz (18-5 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has lost two in a row for the first time in his career. In his past outing, he suffered a razor-thin decision loss to Frankie Edgar in the UFC on ESPN 15 headliner last month. Still, he sits at No. 6 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie bantamweight rankings.
