EA SPORTS UFC 3

You need to become a champion in your chosen weight class. ( 21 wins )

To avoid accidental one-shots, I played through the ground.
Rocked:
1) game of bottom, top, takedowns, grappling endurance;
2) Health of the jaw, body, mobility, block.
3) the remaining characteristics from the grappling, endurance, health sections.
4) when the general stats of grappling, endurance, and health were at the level of 85-90, I began to upgrade the stance.
Among the techniques, I studied movements on the ground and powerful takedowns, then painful ones.

I didn’t spend on advertising at all, even on mandatory ones (a fine of about 10% of the money after the fight)

The tactics are the simplest: drop, block 2-3 transitions, go into a side hold, score with your elbow. Everyone fell away in the first round, the only problem was with Nate Diaz (lightweight, about 10-15 fights), he is strong on the ground with wild submissions. Maybe there would have been a problem with Khabib if I hadn’t played him.

And so, my torment with this trophy ended. I decided to follow the path of a grappler, because it’s more interesting for me to play this mini-game than just score with my elbow. In the end I had 18 victories, but still lost one battle on the way to the belt. I’ll tell you in order, perhaps someone will like this path more, but I hasten to warn you that you need iron endurance and the ability to apply painful submissions. So, heavy weight, Fabricio Werdum, you can also take Minotauro Noguera, but I like Werdum better. Why them? They are the strongest in grappling, so you will immediately have a better chance of coming out victorious on the ground.

1. Fights in WFA
Here we need to win two fights in a row to get into the UFC. Let's take advantage of this moment. You won’t get much money here, so we don’t buy the halls right away, we’ll take only the second one (specialization: wrestling). The first and most important aspect is to download the “painful hold”. We only download it until it reaches 100. In WFA we play like this: win-lose-win-lose-2 wins. This will give us more time for training, during which we will raise our stats. We also alternate gyms, because you won’t get enough money for losing, and in the very first gym, grappling is almost not upgraded, but we need it.

2. UFC fights
Here the fighters will be more and more difficult each time, so don’t forget about the wonderful combination of “PS button” - close the application if you are specifically pinched. You can’t go out at the legendary level, as they will count as a defeat, but you can use this feature). When choosing a fight, we choose fighters who have less grappling stats, but we also pay attention to the number of weeks for preparation, training is the key to success. WE DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON ADVERTISING.

3. Leveling up
First of all, you need to improve your grappling, namely: performing painful holds, playing from below, playing from above, takedown (these are the most important, they come first). In fitness and endurance we need grappling stamina, endurance, toughness and heart. Personally, by the time I received the trophy, I had upgraded all my Health and Fitness to 100. In grappling, I didn’t level up grappling in the clinch and blocking takedowns to 100, the overall indicator is 96. We don’t touch strikes unless they level up along with some stats that we need. However, I would advise pumping up the blocks to at least 80, because... The fighters are very aggressive and you have to be ready to block a couple of blows before performing a takedown.

4. Perks and techniques
When you select a hall, you can press square, and then rewards will appear that can be obtained through “Exploring”. Therefore, immediately set goals for yourself and do not forget about the techniques, I am not sure of their importance, but it seems to me that it still plays some role. We need: a level 5 takedown with one and two leg grabs (takedowns tab), basic ground techniques, ground transitions and level 5 reversals (grounds tab). I’ll say right away that you don’t have to immediately rush to get level 5 techniques, especially since at the beginning of the game they will not be available, you can do level 3 and 4, I don’t see any point in getting level 2. Painful techniques to suit your taste, I personally only have level 5 gogoplata, I also used the guillotine and triangle with arms, so look and choose for yourself, but remember that you need good techniques both in the position from above and in the position from below, because you will be more than once find yourself under the enemy at the end of the game I didn’t receive any perks, but perhaps the “mill” perk, which increases stamina in grappling, will come in handy.

5. Stage “Main Candidate”
You are already in the top 5, the fighters will waste your nerves and time, which you will have to spend a little on battles and exits through the PS button. Be prepared that the submissions will no longer be carried out the first time, the opponents will already have at least 85 grappling skills. At Stipe Miocic (the last fight before the trophy) I spent 4 rounds before, after the next submission attempt, I kicked him twice and finished him off . Yes, yes, it happens too The more you spend on the ground, in a dominant position, and the more you try to apply pain, the endurance and health of the part of the body that you break decreases.

As a result, my battle record was 18-3, I deliberately made 2 losses in WFA and one was accidental, but it didn’t affect anything. I would also like to add that under no circumstances should you lose to the same opponent twice in a row, otherwise your career will be over. I fell for this when I was trying to play more with weak fighters in the “newbie” stage. But I hope that with my hint you will win the trophy in a fairly quick time and with a minimum number of defeats.
