Why arent people punished for throwing 150 strikes per round?

Then watching the next round go and seeing the guy who i have been dominating for 3 rounds or 5 rounds on the ground having more stamina then me by a lot. It’s a damn joke!!!!

That's bologna - Werdum is an absolute nightmare on the mats even when I'm Big Nog. I've subbed people with full stamina as well many times as a hail mary attempt.

It's possible my friend. The mini game just has a bit more to it.

Now if we're talking the scumbags that constantly come forward throwing 1-2 to the body then mix in hooks and uppers to the head you got me.


Big reason why I'm 14-9 so far.

No matter what the implementation, if it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't. Just thinking out loud.

Def agree with a lot of this but the Devs are working on a lot of this stuff already.

Grappling did get a huge overall lady game while striking didnt see many changes.

I just dont get the hate for the stamina changes. You can actually gas while grappling now which is awesome

My problem is that you gas too quickly on the ground, like if you have 1 back and forth grappling round, both guys come out for the next round completely gassed most of the time. I do like that grappling is tiring now, but I think they went too far with it.

You have to pace yourself when grappling now as well...

I think that’s fair. Only guys with super high grappling stamina should be able to go at a high pace when grappling imo.

It forces you to play to your fighter’s strength.

And us the stamina regen is still pretty large so you get a lot of it back after the first couple of rounds

See, I don't think it's pacing yourself that this forces. Because what's causing the drain is your opponent denying your transitions, all this encourages is extremely static grappling. It encourages getting to half guard or mount or whatever and just clinging to that position for dear life, because if you get denied like 5 times trying to get to crucifix or something else you'll lose half your stamina.

I really like the idea of the stamina drain because obviously it should tax your stamina, I just think it's a little overboard. But who knows, maybe in a week my style will change and I'll be fine with it, idk.

The issue is the new striking system in UFC 3 is different from the rest of the game, basically UFC 2. There is a clear "wall" between the two systems and they're not seamless. This is what Big Cee is frustrated about.

Said it yesterday, will say it again. Frankie Edgar so gassed he can barely walk after 3 round of top control.

Would a fair idea be having bottom denials take like 25% or 50% less stamina? That way top control is still rewarded.

I still think fakes shouldnt lose long term stamina when denied either. It’d encourage more fakes and make bottom more dangerous
