EA Sports UFC: 10 Highest Rated Fighters

9. Anthony Pettis

Over: 95Striking: 93Grappling: 93 Submissions: 96 Anthony Pettis is the current UFC Lightweight champion and former WEC champ. Despite his first fight in the UFC resulting in defeat, Pettis has been on a winning streak since. Most recently we saw him defeat the ex-champ Benson Henderson with a sublime first round armbar submission to take Bendo€™s belt. As the statistics show, Pettis has fantastic submissions with 6 of his 17 wins having been by submission. Despite this obvious submission skill, Pettis is primarily known in the MMA world as a striker, which is why it comes as somewhat of a surprise that his striking has been given a lower rating. Pettis has racked up 8 wins by TKO or KO but this record doesn€™t fully demonstrate his world-class striking skills. Pettis€™ striking is some of the most diverse, flashy and dangerous you are ever likely to watch in the UFC. The fact that he beat Donald Cerrone €“ who is himself an incredibly good kick boxer €“ with a body-kick is insane. We are able to also inform you that the Pettis showtime kick which has featured heavily in the game€™s marketing will be a fully playable move and looks even more incredible when you€™re doing it yourself.
