UFC Undisputed Cover Curse?

Cover curse?


THQ unveiled the new cover of UFC Undisputed 2010 and it got WKR thinking; could there be an Undisputed cover curse a la Madden?

Forrest Griffin was on the cover of UFC Undisputed 2009 and lost to Rashad Evans, which he followed up by being smashed in the face with a fade-away jab from Thor's hammer. While Griffin rebounded with a win over Tito Ortiz, Forrest is now preparing to fight Rogerio Nogueira in a fight that Griffin described as a "horrible" match-up.

This brings us to UFC Undisputed 2010's cover and Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's inclusion was certainly in the works for a while and as most MMA fans know Lesnar was floored with a nasty case of diverticulitis. Could we attribute this to a cover curse?

Okay, this is sort of a reach but you know what? The Madden curse is real! Just ask Troy Polamalu.

The madden curse is pretty crazy, but i think this one will be easily perpetuated due to the nature of mma training and fights causing injuries often.
