Will strikers be able to defeat ground Caesars more easily?

That's it. You should be able to block some damage from side control but other than that it's not that hard, guys. If you know the transition momentum advantages it becomes a lot easier to get out from bottom (and to dominate). You wouldn't believe how many people I can KO from full ****ing guard. You will never see me get slept from that position unless we ended up there from the feet somehow. Those dudes probably thought I was "cheesing" too, but they were just horrible. Most people are garbage on the ground. That's the way it's always been since UFC 2009. You crush them and they'll send you a message saying, "yeah but I hit you a couple times standing up so you had to take me to the ground to win. I'm better". Go play Fight Night if you think that way. The stand up in this game is an all day buffet of crap mechanics. It's very rarely a test of skill between two players, but rather who can get their 1-2 double body kick off first. The ground game has always been a sign of thoughtful and intelligent game play and players. Every rando online just wants to stand and trade.

I didn't want to start this war but I'm on board! No matter how good the striking is in this game it will always be easier to win on the ground for the simple fact that people don't want to invest the time to learn it. The hate mail on the beta is going to be glorious.

I remember you, too, bro.

Ahrgh! The wait is killing me.

I know you too. You were in the league with Andrew110 and myself if I'm not mistaken.

Unfortunately the ground Caeser doesn't post much here any more, I wonder if he signed up for beta.

I actually like that term. If you're great on the ground you're a ground Caesar.

UFF? Good times.

If the ground game is anything like UFC 2 y'all better get reading for some ground Caesing depending on who gets the beta.

I have no idea why the league craze died down after EA MMA. Everyone grew out of it but you would think more people would get into it. The UOC had like 70 people at one point.

I wish they would bring back live broadcasts. First MW champ right here.
