If youre determined to keep the fight standing rather than utilising our handy wrestling and submission tips then there are strategies which you can use to ensure that you give yourself the best chance of being effective. Its tempting to get over excited and get yourself into a Forrest Griffin Vs. Stephen Bonnar-style war but as weve already noted this puts you into a situation where the most skilled fighter might not win. Even being conservative and blocking can be a dangerous business if your opponent is strategic enough to mix up their strikes. The best defensive strategy is to flick the left analogue stick and pull off an evasive step out the way. This will mean your opponent is hitting thin air and will quickly burn their energy. Pulling off one of these steps will also mean you have the opportunity to launch a counter-attack while your opponent is midway through throwing a strike. They say that the most dangerous punch is the one you dont see and this is very true of EA Sports UFC a well timed counter can be one of the most damaging offensive moves in the game. Casually stepping out the way of a strike also makes you feel like Anderson Silva, which is always a plus.
