How long does a UFC fight last

A standard UFC fight consists of three rounds of 5 minutes. However, the fights for the title take place in five rounds of 5 minutes. A referee can stop the fight if a player forfeits a bid, is knocked out, or is no longer able to defend himself.

In EA SPORTS UFC 3, the default duration of a round is 5 minutes, but players can change the settings to shorten it.

How are UFC fights evaluated

In the UFC, three judges observe the fight from a different point of view and award up to 10 points per round to each fighter. To win a round, a fighter must score 10 points and his opponent less than 10.

Judges must evaluate the performance of the combatants by paying attention to the following attributes: strikes, grappling, control of the ring / zone of combat, aggression and defense. They must also consider how the fight went. If the fighters stay on the ground for the majority of the fight, the grappling technique will yield more points. If both fighters have stood for most of the round, the amount and quality of their strikes will be more important.

The EA SPORTS UFC 3 Judging Criteria have been updated to reflect the new UFC Rules.

What martial arts can we find in MMA and in the UFC

The MMA is a mix of different traditional martial arts and brings together striking, grappling, submission and wrestling techniques. The major influences of the MMA are boxing, kickboxing, taekwondo, freestyle wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo.

Each of these disciplines has specific advantages and disadvantages. For example, in boxing, it is difficult to effectively counter a kick to the legs. In muay-thai, it is impossible to parry a takedown attempt because of the static nature of the discipline. The best MMA fighters draw in these different disciplines to draw the best elements and make the most appropriate synthesis.

EA SPORTS UFC 3's advanced technology allows players to customize their playing style and choose a fighter with the attributes that best suit them.

What are the strategies to win

Sprawl and brawl: A comfortable fighter on his feet tries to stay upright throughout the fight and uses a technique called "sprawl" to avoid ground combat and takedowns.

Ground and pound: The most brutal fighters of the UFC try to put their opponents on the back with the help of a takedown, pass in dominant position and rains the strikes.

Bid Search: A submission lover puts his opponent on the ground using a takedown or throwing, then tries to force him to throw in the towel with a submission shot.

Clinch Fight: The clinch hold, which gave its name to this style, helps prevent the opponent from finding a good position to hit. Once their opponent is blocked, the clinch fighters try different types of takedowns or place clinch strikes with their knees, elbows, feet and fists.
