To beat the best youve got to be the best; this mantra most certainly extends to fighter selection in EA Sports UFC. It may feel slightly cheap always defaulting to pound-for-pound greats like Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, Anthony Pettis and Jose Aldo but there can be no denying that it gives you a higher percentage chance of getting your hand raised. Thankfully the fighter rating system isnt such that a bad player could beat a good player if theyre using a much better fighter; however, when two players of similar skills levels clash the choice of fighter can often be the difference maker. The aforementioned Jon Jones is quite rightfully a very popular choice online. The light heavyweight champion's gigantic reach, skilled striking and stellar wrestling skills mean that he cant be outclassed by any fighter in any area of MMA. It might not give you the same satisfaction as a win with the criminally underrated Mark Hunt but a win is a win.
