The servers for this game will be closing on April 13th 2012.

They have also added 20x multiplyer which will significantly cut down on the time to get the belts.

Congrats to those who have obtained this achievement.
For those who plan on doing the grind, best of luck.

It's funny cause all these new guides are so long when you can simplify the process.

Make sure your controls are set to Total Punch Control & Not Classic!

Match up then when the fight starts the player losing hits Y first to clinch & does 10 elbows then hit Y again & holds the Left trigger while striking to do 10 knees then hit back & Y at the same time to break the clinch.

Afterwards the player winning does the same thing except after doing the 10 knees instead of breaking the clinch just hit Y 1 more time then knee your opponent in the face to knock them down then just finish the fight.

Then each player will get the following bonuses:
- The Grim
- Hendo
- The Goat

The Winner gets 1400 XP & the Loser gets 750 XP.

Cheers!

*NOTE* Servers Close as of April 13th 2012

*UPDATE* This achievement is now unobtainable Due to the Servers Closing. Thank You EA

*****UPDATE*****
With the upcoming server closures in April, EA have been kind enough to whack on 20x XP.

Credit goes to jackx289 for this: With 20x exp its 1375 for a win with this method, 350 for a loss.
*****UPDATE*****

Ok I know I do not have this achievement yet BUT I wanted to share with everyone my boosting method as I believe it is the fastest way to rank up with the XP multiplier in effect.

This method will give the winner 540XP per fight. First make sure your controls are set to total strike control or whatever it is called to use the right stick for strikes, now on to the method itself.

Doesn't matter what fighters you pick although I believe the loser should pick a fighter with high health. You are going to want to go for three bonuses which are:

Hendo
The Grim
The Natural

To do this, the winner needs to initiate the clinch by pressing (Y). once in the clinch you need to throw constant elbows by using the right stick from left to up or right to up (although I just spin my right stick in circles and it registers as elbow upon elbow). Once the loses is dropped he taps (B) as quickly as possible to recover and stands up with (Y).

Initiate the clinch and do the same again. Loser recovers and stands up. Initiate the clinch and this time hold down the kick modifier (LT) and land knees by tilting the right stick up and to the left or right. Land 10 knees in the clinch. The most I managed in 1 clinch was 7 by alternating between body and head knees. To knee the body hold (RB).

After landing 10 knees in the clinch just finish the fight and you will be rewarded with 540XP.

If you want, the loser can do this as well which should net them 440XP for the loss as they will get the same 3 bonuses.

EDIT: As Gabe mentioned this will no longer net you 540XP as the multiplier has been reduced...I just haven't been on it to know that lol

***SERVERS ARE NOW CLOSED***

Servers for this game close on April 13th but until then there is a 20x xp multiplier running.

Here is my method for the quickest xp and the method I am currently using. It is based on Chunkeh Munkeh's solution above but I have modified it slightly as it is quicker if you don't down your opponent until the winner is finishing the fight.

I use the classic controls so if you use total strike control your controls will be different but the method is the same.

With the 20x xp multiplier there are now slightly more people on than before so finding each other may take a little longer depending on time of day but still shouldn't be too bad.

You are aiming for the bonuses
Hendo
The Grim
The Natural
These are achieved by landing 10 knees in a clinch, 10 elbows in a clinch and 25 strikes (any kind) in a clinch.

When you have matched up and get into a fight one person starts by flicking down on the RS to initiate the double under clinch. With your opponent against the cage land 10-15 knees using B or A or a combination of both. Then flick the RS up to switch to the muay thai clinch. Land 10-15 elbows by holding the LS down and left and pressing Y or X. Try not to down your opponent as this wastes a little time. The reason I say land 10-15 is so you get the total 25 over both needed for the bonus. I find it easier to do 15 knees and 10 elbows as this doesn't down your opponent, therefore saving time as mentioned above.

When you have your 10 knees, 10 elbows and 25 strikes in a clinch press the LS in and release your opponent. Your partner then does the same method but instead of releasing at the end they carry on and finish the fight. Take it in turns to get wins.

This method takes just 1 minute of actual playing time per fight when you get used to what you're doing and gets the winner 1450xp and the loser 800xp. If you include searching and loading times it is about 3-4 minutes for each fight with an average of 1100xp each one (because you alternate winning and losing). This can get you 15,000-20,000xp an hour
