Re: What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

I wrestled in school and used to spar some at a boxing club. I will have to go wrestling and boxing for my character. 5-9 and it would be a cut but I'd be a 155 guy. I am making up a ton of fighter not in the UFC. We should have a real CAF thread to post rating ideas for these fighter like Fedor etc. I hope there is a way to unlock unlimited CAF points so you don't have to do career mode for each CAF.

I'll very likely go with wrestling..

Boxing/Wrestling

6'3" 225lbs

You should just make yourself a LHW. You're too small for HW.

I'm 6'2, 180...I'm thinking of making a BJJ guy (not sure on the striking yet), pondering welterweight or middleweight, don't think I want to bulk up to LHW. I'd rather be more like Kendall Grove than adding 40ish lbs.

Haha. I wish I could hit 205lbs. In real life, if I weighed 205, I'd look like a toothpick. I have a ridiculously large bone structure. I was born a very big guy. I'm 245ish in real life atm, getting back down to 225ish. At 225-230, I'm in really good shape, not fat at all. Most people at 6'3" that weigh 230 look heavy as hell; I look trim.

Real life base character - I boxed in my youth so most likely Boxer/ kick boxer type striker. I weight 175 so Middle Weight or step down to Welter at 170.

Made up guy - Most likely going to make Clay "The Carpenter" Guida. Wrestler with extreme endurance and great transition defense, killer ground and pound. But weak to submissions (5 of his 9 losses came from submissions).

Re: What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

As of now, my thoughts are to make myself (I mean, obviously) and try to be "realistic" with that; and then I will also have to create the ultimate badass - like an MMA version of the young Mike Tyson.

You said you're going to make your created guy a kickboxer or boxer... I'm pretty sure you need to pick a grappling discipline to go along with that. Or you just want to make your guy a 1 dimensional fighter.

I'm going to make Melvin Manhoef - beastly kickboxing, practically non-existent BJJ, or Takanori Gomi - boxer/wrestler.

[boxboy99]

Melvin is awesome.... I will definately make him and Gomi. Too bad Melvin got KO'd in K1. Hope he sticks to MMA.

Re: What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

He should still do both like he's been doing most of his career. He's really good at it, especially considering that his K-1 opponents have a much greater size advantage. That is just a testament to how great his striking is.

I underestimated Maeda in that tourney. He was great.

We probably have somewhat similar builds. Do you lift a lot of weights? I'm 6'3, 225. I have a long athletic frame like Anthony Johnson (but obviously a lot heavier). I don't know about fighting some of the monsters at heavy though. I think I'm just gonna dehydrate the hell out of my dude and rock light heavy. I'm not trying to see my dude get ran over by Brock Lesnar.

Re: What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

I used to lift. My chest, when not overweight at all, is 51". I inherited that from my father. 51" chest 34-36" waist lol.

I aint worried about the beasts in HW... yeah, they're heavier, but mostly the same height. Good striking and grappling will defeat pure size any day.

Re: What kind of fighter are you going to create in UFC 2009?

I'm gonna have to stay at heavy just to make your dude reevaluate whether or not he really wants to be a fighter. After I bust you up you'll probably head to Strikeforce.
