(This story first appeared in Monday’s USA TODAY .) Martial arts legend Bruce Lee , an idol to many of today’s top MMA fighters, may be gone, but EA Sports’ upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship video game will make sure he’s not forgotten. It’s been more than 40 years since Lee’s death at the age of 32, but his spirit and revolutionary martial arts tactics will be brought back to life in EA Sports UFC, which is set for a June 17 release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “I’m a huge Bruce Lee fan,” Dana White, UFC president and co-owner, tells USA TODAY Sports. “Having him as a character in the game is fun. Anytime Bruce Lee can be involved in the UFC, I’m in. I love it.” The UFC has released three video game titles since 2009, but none incorporated any aspect of Lee’s likeness.
