EA Sports announced a partnership with Sherdog.com today. They will work together on the Sherdog MMA Fighter Exchange, which is similar to a feature in EA Sports MMA‘s career mode.

In EA Sports MMA, you can play as a young fighter traveling the globe in order to learn various martial arts disciplines. Players experience different fighting environments, rule sets, and training locations while they learn from legendary MMA trainers like Randy Couture, Pat Miletich, Rickson Gracie and Bas Rutten.

For the Sherdog MMA Fighter Exchange, four rising stars in MMA will be paired up with veteran Strikeforce members Luke Rockhold, Jason Mayhem Miller, Gegard Mousasi and Renaldo Jacare Souza. They will travel around Brazil, Japan and the United States to train and hone their skill.

Sherdog.com will provide blog and video coverage of each fighter while they train. After training, they will make their Strikeforce debut on December 4 which will be streamed live on Sherdog.com.
