Major Nelson has just let out word that a demo for EA’s highly anticipated EA Sports MMA fighting game has just arrived on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, giving prospective players a chance to sample EA’s take on virtual mixed martial arts matches.

The demo for EA Sports MMA weighs in at 1 GB, and it actually looks as though it’s available to all Xbox LIVE users (i.e. not just Xbox LIVE Gold members).

Here’s a taste of what’s in the demo:

“EA SPORTS MMA brings the authenticity of the world’s most intense combat sport home like never before. Choose from the world’s top fighters or climb the ranks of the worldwide circuit with your created prodigy to become the ultimate MMA champion. Are you ready?

“Let’s get it on!”

El33tonline has already covered EA Sports MMA extensively with tons of videos, screenshots and information, as well as a hands-on preview of the game.

Be sure to look through all of that coverage while you wait for the demo to download.
