Reception
The game has been met with overall positive reviews. Numerous video game websites have awarded the game with high praise for its various improvements over the 2009 version.

Dakota Grabowski of GameZone gave the game a 9/10. His final verdict was "All in all, UFC Undisputed 2010 is a force to be reckoned with." THQ has put every other fighting game on notice as UFC Undisputed 2010 has moved into the domain of one of the best games in the genre." Additionally, GamePro 's Caleb Newby awarded the game five out of five stars, calling it "an intensely satisfying experience." GameTrailers gave it a 9.0 out of 10 stating that it one of the most technically accomplished and brutally satisfying video game entries to date. However, IGN gave the game a score of 7.8. Reviewer Greg Miller stated that while the game is good, its little issues hold it back from being impressive. GameSpot gave the game a 8.0 out of 10 stating that the game's strong point is the core game-play, while the menu-heavy career mode can prove to be a bit tedious. Though the reviewer later states that even though the career mode is flawed, it is still capable of keeping you engaged in your character's career. Good Game's two reviewers gave the game a 8/10 and 8.5/10.

The game's sales, however, were disappointing.
