Grapplers at end-game Ranking are weak

[UFCBlackbelt]

With the clinch exploit, as long as you stay right in front of grapplers it is very easy to beat them. Staying close won't allow them to use single legs or doubles effectively, and if a clinch happens, all you need is a fake takedown.

Wonderboy is the new GOAT of WW.

Kind of beating a dead horse at this point imo

Like the strikers didn't have a big enough advantage already.

For real though, grapplers be like.

Don't forget that you can essentially spam denial of TD and Clinch with little risk, without being locked-out.

Something that more than 73% of the community wants changed by the way!

So staying as close as possible is the best way to avoid grappling in this game.

I'm done.

Just wait until after the patch. Peeps better keep their egos in check.

The almighty GSP's of Ranked disagree with you, just take a look at the top leader board (PS4) and what do you see? Most of the top players are GSP users, or use a grappling-oriented fighter. I certainly don't see a single Wonderboy user in the top 10 right now.

You can take your opponents down easily by keeping distance, ducking and then shooting, it's being abused by top Ranked players at this point. The truth is you just haven't figured it out yet. If all you're trying to do is initiate clinch and getting denied and countered, as well as going for a regular TD and being denied then you are doing it all wrong. I imagine when you do figure out the current cheese that is being used by top Ranked players, then you will have no problem getting your opponents down.

Keeping distance is the important piece, if you keep walking forward non-stop you wont have a threat of td, and then it just becomes a boxing match. Gsp might work because he has decent striking but almost every other grappler except the heavy hitters like woodley faulter under this
