UFC 2009 Undisputed News Post

UFC 2009 Undisputed offers unparalleled fighting controls and realism, and the game provides an accurate representation of one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. But for a new fighter just entering the Octagon, the numerous fighting styles can seem overwhelming. In this strategy piece, I will discuss my favorite fighting style, kickboxing.

As I alluded to in my review of UFC 2009 Undisputed a few weeks ago, the fighting controls are very intricate in the game and can be intimidating to newcomers. Because of this, I personally consider kickboxing to be a good starting point for any fighter in Undisputed, both because of its reliance on distance fighting and because of the variety of ways you can take down opponents. There are three main rules that should be followed by kickboxer, with the first rule applying to all fighters.

Nice read Chris. That is until I slam that kick boxer on his back with a wrestler and don't allow him to get up

I only really like Muay Thai now...it's the best imo. Kickboxing only has supermanpunch and backfist...i don't care for those moves anymore.

ehh "quick punches"??? you mean the superman punch and spinning back fist aka the special moves? if your well thought out strategy is to spam special attacks ie high leg kicks and "quick punches". than your no different than any other lame spaz online.

Sorry if this was harsh but thats what this article made me think...

Yeah, I second the above. Kickboxing is a good strategy for beginners, because of its simplicity, but woe to such a player who fights an advanced player using Muai Thai or Boxing. Once you get inside on a kickboxer with either of those, they are in trouble. The other side of Kickboxing is that the strikes are very slow, except for the ever-spammed Superman Punch.

Against a Kickboxer, using a Boxer, I like to rush in with a thigh kick, and then proceed to just pound their abdomen with heavy punches. They'll have to reverse to get of their, or try a weak grapple. If they block low, then I uppercut high. Beginners will have trouble with this.

Using Maui Thai, I'm not a big MT player, but I'm sure they would do something similar and then just rush in and clinch.

Frankly, I do not fear any "rangy" Kickboxers. Now those using Rampage Jackson and keeping their distance are players to be feared, if they know that they are doing. The Boxing's "slide" hooks and straights I think work just as well as a Kickboxers, and are less predictable.

Just my .02.

Counters, kids. If you allow someone to headkick you several times in a row without countering, you deserve to get KTFO'd.

One key that distinguishes a good fighter from a great fighter is versatility. The smart players know that the way to nullify a Kickboxer is by taking him down since it's slightly hard to kick people when you are on the ground. So I say practice your ground game as well and make sure you can hold your own until you get back up or if you are good enough, just win on the ground via submission or GnP.

I lost to a guy who was 15-67 today because I got lazy with the timing for countering his headkicks. I went right back and exited out of every match until I found him again (it was early in the morning so there probably weren't that many people playing) and beat him twice. Still didn't take the bad taste out of my mouth.
