We also learnt Yoel has a question mark kick.

Re: What we learned from UFC 221

Rockhold used the clinch defensively to tie up Yoel when Yoel was swarming with punches.

Try using the clinch defensively in the game and let me know how that works out...

Nah he never was big on leg kicks and with the ko power in his hands I wouldn't be either

I just assume Yoel Romero can throw every strike I could possibly think of, because he probably can

Re: What we learned from UFC 221

Yoel should really get some type of booster perk for the 3rd round since he finishes a good amount of fights in the 3rd maybe 10% more likely of a stun or rock in the 3rd

My issue is catching shots when going through the clinch engagement animation, which is slow, opens your head up for shots, and has short range. Those factors plus the input lag between striking and grappling means you will be standing idol at boxing range in front of your opponent for a few seconds before reaching out to clinch.

Once the clinch animation starts, it can be easily interrupted by strikes AND it’s pretty easy to deny.

Grapplers are better off shooting for a takedown because the takedown animation is faster, has longer range, and only makes fighters vulnerable to uppercuts/knees.

Solution: allow players to tie up in the clinch quicker during exchanges AND incorporate more takedown-to-clinch animations. Unfortunately that’s probably a UFC 4 thing, if the gamedevs ever decide to shift their attention to grappling.

Let's not forget Luke's jab, angles a and accuracy right before he got ko'd. That jab was freaking sick.

Yeah, his boxing actually looked much improved, just Romero is such a monster that it didn't really matter, I also think his boxing improvements made him more susceptible to the low kicks, but IDK, would need to rewatch a few times.

Give the Gaethje block to Formiga, so he can perform that awesome counter.

Re: What we learned from UFC 221

Tired of bringing this game up but EA needs to follow the Ud3 blueprint. Ud3 u could strike from different positions on the ground and the opponent would break down and just the grappling overall worked. Going to wait for UFC 4 and see if they do this.

The thing that made Undisputed so great was that you could finish the fight from absolutely anywhere. You were rarely if ever safe.

Luke was landing on Yoel, especially at the end of the 2nd. He looked very accurate and fast but we always knew The Cuban Missile could blast his head off.

I don’t like the angle he took right before he got backed up and KOed. It seems Rockhold is pretty terrible at fighting backwards and he doesn’t match up well with southpaws. I found it strange during the countdown that he didn’t train with any southpaws in sparring, that was a bad move.

To everyone saying Rockhold has a glass chin... any fighter in the world can get KTFO with their chin in the air. He stands so tall and never tucks his chin, it has NOTHING to do with how durable his chin is. Please EA leave his chin alone, you can adjust his footwork and head movement, these are the things that get him in trouble.

That and it had actual MMA mechanics and scenarios and not fighting game balancing.

Up close he seems to get caught at bad angles. I wonder if the bad angle is more to blame than his chin.
