One of the most laughable things you experience on EA Sports UFC is when you see a guy playing who clearly doesnt understand the fighter hes using. Witnessing someone trying to use Chuck Liddell to pull off a submission or attempting to outbox their opponent using Royce Gracie immediately announces the fact that they know nothing about their fighters strengths and should complete more of the career mode before they attempt to compete online. In order to better your chances of winning online you need to know exactly what your chosen fighters strengths are and how to utilise them effectively. If youve chosen a striker try keeping it standing while if youre a Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist attempt to get them down to the mat. Of course sometimes you will have to alter this chosen strategy mid-round but its always good to go in with a game plan. A trainer like Greg Jackson who has successfully nurtured so many of the modern greats of MMA is living proof of how an effective game plan can make a difference in a fight.
