^ Me 2...I was a Muay Thai Light Heavywight who won my first 12 before losing my next 3. It's ridiculous. Im 26 and 4 right now and in a 10 fight strech, I've fought rampage twice Wanderlei twice, Sugar Rashad 3 times, and Forrest 3 times. Talk about a 10 fight strech!

My guy absolutely sucks at defending the clinch and I hardly ever get back up if I get mounted.

I think Im getting worse the more I play this. Now Im getting whooped in sparring.

Me 2. You would think my guy being Muay Thai guy, my clinch would be pretty solid. NOPE! For my character MT= Death

This career mode is frustrating. Lost first fight and then won 6 straight and was ranked 10th and then fought Brandon Vera who was ranked 7th an then got whooped. So I drop back down to like 12th and then whipped Tim Sylvia who was ranked 10th.

 

Now Ive lost back to back fights to Kongo and Herring who were both top 10. Everytime i get on PPV I get beat.:madman::madman::taz::irked:

 

You'll get there, I went undefeated up until Mir, I'm sitting around 23-8 right now as the heavyweight champ, won the last three title defenses. I've beaten the strikers to death including Lesnar 3 times, the submission artists are the ones that give me the problem.

Mir is an absolute stud in the game

I finally get the hang of striking but it takes a while to get used to fighting the ground. Everytime someone takes me to the ground I just set my controller down because I know its over. It took me about 2 hours til I realized how important blocking is in this game.

 

I started a guy in the Heavyweight and got to 5th and then Tim Silvia knocked me out in the first 2 minutes. I am TERRIBLE at sparring.

Sparring is really tough I think.

In sparring just go in and throw as fast and as hard as you can. High kicks work really well. You want to do a lot of damage to your opponent in sparring (the opposite of real life sparring lol).

I was the lightweight champ but BJ Penn KO'd me.

 

I have now created Fedor. I have to touch it up a little when I get home (rushed through creating him), but it looks similar to him. Wish they had "The Last Emperor" as a nickname.

 

Might also create Shane Carwin.

I have been KO'ed 3 times in a row by Brock, Silvia and Velasquez. Everytime they get me on the ground its over for me.

Would I be missing out by not getting this game? I'm on the fence

Well, I'm not a ufc fan really and I really like the game. Its actually better than I thought it would be.

My fighter was lucky that he beat Eddie Sanchez because I made up my mind before the fight that if I lose to that chump Im retiring his butt. He pulled thru tho.

 

I used to be decent at sparring but now Im getting worse and worse and it sucks because I really need them points to improve my guy.

 

And whats with Dana White always trying to get me to fight on short notice and fill in for injured guys? I decline the fights if the guy is ranked below me or the guy I was set to fight.

He does that to me too. I usually always accept because he says there is always a reward but there never is unless its more CRED. I can never get to the top of the rankings because I constantly get smacked by everyone at the top.
