THQ has launched UFC Undisputed Fight Nation on Facebook.

Developed by Embassy Interactive, the game gives players control of their own virtual UFC fighting career.

Players will be able to train their moves, compete against others and share their results on Facebook. The game will also feature a management element to it, letting you set up the opportunity to compete against many well known UFC fighters.

"We are excited about the tremendous opportunities available in the social networking space to deliver key franchises to our core audiences in unique and compelling ways," said Danny Bilson, THQ's executive VP of core games.

"UFC Undisputed Fight Nation delivers a great combination of gameplay, competitive spirit and replay value, making it the perfect fit for millions around the world to enjoy on Facebook."

THQ has said it aims to "broaden the UFC brand experience" after extending its exclusive publishing deal with game rights holder Zuffa until 2018.
