UFC 3 Sim: Evans vs. Nogueria

[RaychelSnr]

With UFC 156 coming up on Saturday, it seemed like a good time for another simulated fight. Since UFC Undisputed 3 doesn't allow for fighters to take on competition from other weight classes, I can't simulate Aldo vs. Edgar, but I figured the co-main event would do the job.

Rashad Evans is taking on Antônio Rogério Nogueira, and each of these guys is at a bit of a crossroads. Rashad is 4-1 in his last five, but he lost most recently to Jon Jones in a five-round decision. Nogueira hasn't fought since December 2011, and while he did last beat Tito Ortiz, he previously lost to both Phil Davis and Ryan Bader.

Ya, that's what I hate about UFC3, cause guys change weight classes, but the game only included a few guys who changed, and didn't give us option of changing anyones weight class.

Great stuff! Let hope EA give us better options.

Actually you can face fighters in other weight classes in UFC 3 if you do it in event mode. There is a well known glitch that lets you do it. Here is a video of how you do it:

I'm taking a 3rd round TKO in favor of Evans.

Rashad Evans is one of the most durable and conditioned fighters in the UFC.

Nogueira can't handle Evans in a three-round brawl, especially if Rashad initializes his wrestling game..

Brilz, Bader, and Phil Davis have all out wrestled Lil Nog easily. Suga will do the same and win a decision. There is always the chance Rashad runs into one though...he has a habit of doing that sometimes and getting himself into trouble.

Double post.

None of them out wrestled him "easily". Both Bader & Davis had a lot of issues getting them down early via double legs, but did have some success later with single legs.

Aaaaannnndddd Rashas lost! xD

But it was a night of upsets really, Lil' Nog, Maia & Bigfoot won big time!

Nogueira significantly improved his takedown defense. After having trouble in recent fights with wrestlers his wrestling training payed off.

His takedown defense was never bad. Bader & Davis had a lot of issues getting him down, but they got him down eventually because they pressed at it. Rashad didn't.
