You can't do this currently as there is a delay during and after you switch. This is historic, it's like when Frankie was KOd for the first time; it was a clinch strike by Ortega and we got it by the end of the patch cycle when Cormier did the same to Stipe and became champ champ.

However some fighters still have shift strikes in UFC 4-Wonderboy shift kicks and Holloway shift straights. More should have them and widen the types like in UFC 1- hooks, uppercuts, all kicks etc.

Give shift punches to guys like Dustin, Conor, Max, Cruz, Dillashaw, Overeem etc.

Give shift kicks to Jones, Wonderboy, Overeem, Volk, Izzy etc.

Give both to those who do both but this is rarer.
Was just about to create a thread in this.

Please give Dustin Poirier a custom switch stance combo and also the Philly shell guard. Which will effectively leave him open to body and leg kicks but mitigate damage from head strikes.

EA please buff Poirier.
