EA Sports UFC College Tour Visits Champaign

The EA Sports UFC College Tour will be stopping in Champaign on November 15th and December 6th.

By Jim Vainisi

We love EA Sports here at The Champaign Room. We've been using their old NCAA Football '14 game each week this season to simulate/predict Illinois' matchups; we even plan on using NCAA Basketball '10 to do the same throughout the basketball season. So naturally, we jumped at the opportunity to help them promote their new UFC video game!

The EA Sports UFC College Tour will be hitting 30 college campuses across the United States to give college fans the chance to play EA Sports UFC on the PlayStation 4 while watching UFC Pay-Per-View events at a local sports bar/restaurant.

The tour will be stopping in Champaign, IL at Hooters for the following dates and UFC Pay-Per-View events. Come out early to get in the game and feel the fight with EA Sports UFC! Attendees will have the opportunity to compete against other students for prizes and merchandise.

  • Saturday November 15th @ 9pm CT: UFC 180 Velasquez vs. Werdum
  • Saturday December 6th @ 9pm CT: UFC 181 Hendricks vs. Lawler

Learn more about EA Sports UFC and the College Tour through the EA Sports UFC Twitter Feed and Facebook Page or visit the official EA Sports UFC Website.
