    ESFL 50 THOUGHTS ETC

    1) .first of all let me start by saying IMUHBOXER'S pre fight breakdown with stats of each fighter is welcome addition very very good . He made the commentary on the tournament very technical .

    2) A lot guys picked Jacare ...like a lot . I was kind of surprised but then again since the his fight against Weidman . Dude is obviously a beast now .

    3) I really gotta to give it to Ricky J to be honest I really didn't think he could beat MM . I mean I haven't watched his commentary of the fight on his channel to get an insight on his thoughts but man it was a huge upset in my eyes .

    4) stay close to zabit ...I can't exactly recall who the players were but I think it was zabit against Ortega or max Holloway. I forget. But dude had to stay close to zabit to negate those front side kicks . Zabit still won though . He kept missing on those showtime kicks tho .

    4a) the front side kick is a grapplers best friend now as it isn't susceptible to a catch kick . Kick em to the cage and go for the take down .

    5) I really was expecting kinetic to win . I'm lost as
    to why he picked another fighter other than his customary McGregor . It didn't seem to me like he was in the combo zone with the 4 piece hits like he hits you twice with one hand and all that almost impossible striking ...Dude is definitely a monster but I don't who picked the weight class . But props to Adavita . But I think dude should rematch kinetic on Xbox tho .

    6) Kudos to the devs for making submissions a lot more successful ... When I was watching the tournament I couldn't help but think how far the game has come from the day one release till today . They have really done their best to balance striking and grappling.

    7 ) Anti grappling go to move now seems to be don't let your opponent posture up and just be patient until the refs stand you up .

    8) WTF was sharrif thinking very poor stamina management .

    9) I wish there was more promotion and publicity on ESFL and other EA UFC tournaments but it seems like the popularity of the tournaments are capped by the real life popularity of MMA in general .

    10)If you are struggling with striking or mechanics definitely go check out these fights or note the players names and if they have a you tube channel go watch em .

    I'd be happy if you could share your thoughts as well. Thanks.

        Man, I just can't get into these. Just my opinion obviously, but most of these esfl fights make the game look so bad.

        Yall are certified beasts though.

          Maybe before all the patches. The ESFL did look kind of loopy sometimes, but now this is an obsolete statement.

          Scxpe had a fight as Nick Diaz and it looked exactly like a real Diaz scrap.

          There were a couple of fights lower on the card that looked like an actual brawl. Not just exchanging 1-6-3s back and forth.

          MartialMind and RickyJ had a great technical battle as well.

          I got subbed without taking a single strike (literally) Palhares style.

                I'm the same. Can't seem to get into these. I do enjoy some of imuhboxer's videos and I enjoyed reading about the fights in the opening post.

                Perhaps I'll try again.

                  I'm on the fence about ImUhBoxer as a person, but he has some really technical videos breaking down mechanics and how **** works. Gotta give props where props are due.

                    All due respect... I watch you fight with him and thought it was kinda cheesy. Not your fault just the game.

                    It seems that throw that Lead Jab, Lead Hook, Leg kick combo to death. And on the ground its is sub spam city.

                    Once again, not your fault, you are simply getting the win. I just thing there should be serious stamina penalties for attempting subs like that. And they need to slow Jacare's striking down... just a bit.

                      I am not on the fence about BOXER. He just is not very skilled at this game, yet, seems to have all of the answers.

                      I am done being negative for today lol.

                          How many subs did I attempt? I had two or three real attempts from my count, the stamina seemed pretty appropriate. I think Jacare is perfect in the game as far as stats go, although they should make him an A+. He arguably beat Kelvin and Romero and he KOed Weidman and Brunson in the last year. He has solid striking.

                          Pretty sure all jabs are lead jabs btw. Jabs and leg kicks are a good way to mitigate the nonstop pressure that people prefer in this game. I don't think "sub spamming" is a thing though, if someone denies your sub attempt you're probably going to lose position if you know what you're doing. No offense taken

                            Didnt watch. Sharif fights like that every single time i've fought him lol which has been quite a few...... just non stop aggression wherever the fight goes. If you avoid the early KO and slip a few times he's pretty much done... never has any stamina after a round lol

                              I disagree ...heavily . But I respect your opinion tho . Just didn't see the fight that way at all .
