In my opinion the blame should fall upon Brian Hayes and producer Nate McDonald for the direction they chose to take the game in. I still remember the survey that went out whilst we were still on UFC 3 that foreshadowed the strange costumes and whatnot to come.
Gameplay-wise there was traces of what the GPD we know and love had been working on, such as addressing the clinch which was a common complaint from players of the previous game. Even way after his departure things like the block animation changing I still appreciated gameplay wise, I don't think the gameplay developers are to blame whatsoever.
