EA previously announced that the second cover spot would be given to the victor of the highly-anticipated bout, and McGregor left no doubt that he deserved the spot, knocking out former featherweight champion Jose Aldo in a record-setting 13 settings. That narrowly beat the previous 14-second knockout record set by Ronda Rousey in February this year. 

Coming in spring 2016, EA Sports UFC 2 promises the biggest roster ever with authentic character likeness and animation. The game also adds a new Knockout Physics System to deliver "more visceral, more rewarding, and more authentic KOs than ever before." 

EA Sports UFC 2 will release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
