How did you manage to not get a title shot at 9-0 in the UFC? Just curious. i did get a title shot at 9-0 in the UFC, it was my 10th UFC fight and 20th career fight. I got 11 fights (all wins) in before I got a title shot. It was nice fighting a wide variety of guys. In order: Kendall Grove Ricardo Almedeia Dan Miller Yushin Okami Chris Leben Alan Belcher Wilson Gouviea Yoshihiro Akiyama Dan Henderson (legend come out of retirement fight) Wanderlei Silva Demian Maia Nate Quarry (Was set to fight Bisping for the #1 contender spot but Quarry wanted to come out of retirement so I took the fight, and I still ended up with the title shot) Vitor Belfort is the Champion Still haven't fought Anderson Silva, Nate Marquardt, Chael Sonnen, and Michael Bisping but I'm sure they'll all get title shots eventually. I would def. like to fight Dennis Kang & Patrick Cote if I still could as well.

Quick question...I know it's hard to defend submissions, but I swear for the life of me, I cannot make ANYONE tap out. I've tried being Frank Mir and still can't out anyone. Help? Press and hold down the R3 to charge your submission. I would turn on the health meter bar as it gives you a slight indication as to when to release it. Other than that I can't help you.

Honestly, I only run into the submission issue once every 40 fights or more, and I personally play on Experienced. It's easily one of the more played games either by myself or when people come over, because of the different styles. One of the most underrated features is the create-a-fighter, as you can hand pick your moves this year to help build the perfect fighter for you. I'd buy it at full price in a heart beat, honestly. I tried playing 2009 yesterday and had to put it down because of how slow it was. The pace in this years is faster, but not to the point where it's super difficult to play. The Sway system is the big game changer, as it really adds a whole new, strategic level to the gameplay. In the creat-a-fighter, is there a way to get more points than the system is giving you? Also, what overall rating do you usually end up with if you can only use the points they originally give you? Thanks

i did get a title shot at 9-0 in the UFC, it was my 10th UFC fight and 20th career fight. That still seems kind of long. In one career I said no when Dana asked me to be on PPV, that made it a longer road. Right now I'm at MW and I've beaten Grove, Almeida, Dan Miller, and Okami. I have Leben next on PPV, I thought about saying no, but I didn't. I don't want to move up too fast b/c it seems that when you do you end up fighting the same guys over and over again. I figure I only have once chance to fight the lower tier guys. Just an update on Middleweight prospect Ethan "The Kid" Brown Got into the UFC at 5 - 0. So far I've fought and beat (in order): Kendall Grove Ricardo Almeida Dan Miller Yushin Okami Chris Leben Alan Belcher Wilson Gouviea Yoshihiro Akiyama is next

Question for those who are still playing this regularly... I've got some gaming credit on Amazon and need to place an order before the end of September to avoid losing it. I can't really think of anything I really want right now, other than to pre-order Kinect, and even that I'd prefer to hold off on. I was thinking about ordering this, the games (and the sport for that matter) have intrigued me for quite some time. I watch UFC casually, nothing major, so I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. How much would you recommend the purchase? I'd only be paying around $21 and change for it. From reading here, it sounds as though the career (or whatever the ranked progression mode is) is quite fun and gives the game a lot of longevity. I'm aware of the flawed submission system, but how much does it truly take away from the experience? I'd buy it for $21. I'd buy it again at full price if I had to do it over. I never cared for playing at the higher difficulty (which is where the submission problems really show up the worst) so it's still very fun for me to run through career mode. I guess the the thing I enjoy the most about it is seeing my fighter progress (get new moves, improve skills, unlock new attires, sponsors etc.) as the game goes on. Also, I don't play online so the submission system cheating doesn't affect me either. So I would personally recomend it at $21. Unless you want to preorder Fallout New Vegas instead

Never played 2, but I always like to flank myself with a Super Mutant and/or Ghoul. So i will be choosing him as well. He has to be better than Fawkes, right?

took a break from UFC to play Fallout for a few days, and I continued my new middleweight on expert. since getting in the UFC i haven't lost a single fight (20-2), (10-2 at UFC debut), and just beat Akiyama via 1st round RNC for the title.. my first challenger.. is Anderson. oh well, i'll leave that for later. How did you manage to not get a title shot at 9-0 in the UFC? Just curious.

How I see it is that Sonnen lost to Silva. . therefore no immediate rematch. have him fight Okami or Leben first. How does that make any sense? You just said "Sonnen lost to Silva so no immediate rematch." Yet, Penn LOST and is getting an IMMEDIATE rematch, and Sonnen was more dominate then Penn. Because there's no arguing that Sonnen lost. He tapped. I wish he had won, I really do. I hate Silva's guts, but Sonnen got finished. You can't debate that. He was finished and therefore there is no debating who won the fight. Edgar/Penn can be argued. I don't care to argue it because it's a moot point, but it was argued for weeks afterwards and therefore it's easier to say. . . hey let's make them fight again. Same with Shogun/Machida . . . it was a iffy decision so they made them fight again. Sonnen/Silva & Russow/Duffee were finishes, it's a slap in the face to the winners of those matches to have to fight them again. Make Sonnen win one match before he gets Silva again. Make it Marquart, Belfort, or Wandy, but he shouldn't get an immediate rematch when he go finished.

I think we collectively just proved a point. If you finish someone there is no debate. If you don't finish one then it's almost always debatable who won. I think the Edgar/Penn fight was real close but there is no question that Silva & Mike Russow both won their matches. . . hence no immediate rematch should be given to either Duffee or Sonnen. This is how I see it: Frankie beat Penn, and when watching live, thought Frankie was winning. I don't think there is any need for an imediate rematch, as Frankie obviously was the better fighter that night. Penn should earn his rematch (and yes, I do think Frankie will win again). HOWEVER, Silva was pretty much untouchable his entire UFC career, and for Chael Sonnen, a guy about 95 percent of the MMA world said had no chance went out there and pummeled Silva for 5 rounds until Silva locked in a triangle to submit him. If BJ Penn is getting an automatic rematch, Chael Sonnen, without a doubt, should be too. And people saying Silva "got lucky" (and this is coming from one of the biggest Chael Sonnen fans on here), he didn't. Silva is one of the smartest fighters, and you could tell that entire 5th round he was waiting to lock in either a triangle or armbar, whichever would give first. Silva WON that night, but Sonnen backed up EVERYTHING he said he was going to do, and then some. He made Silva look like a human being. No man can say they did that, except Sonnen. That's why he should get a rematch. And for anyone who says that isn't marketable is INSANE. That would be one of the highest bought fights, at least in my opinion. How I see it is that Sonnen lost to Silva. . therefore no immediate rematch. have him fight Okami or Leben first.

I still don't even see why Penn is getting a rematch. It's not like it was a close call or a really debatable decision. Edgar won, pretty clear in my opinion. I think we collectively just proved a point. If you finish someone there is no debate. If you don't finish one then it's almost always debatable who won. I think the Edgar/Penn fight was real close but there is no question that Silva & Mike Russow both won their matches. . . hence no immediate rematch should be given to either Duffee or Sonnen.

I wrote a pretty lengthy response to Dave Meltzer's column about Sonnen "deserving" an automatic rematch. I hope I get a response. I never understood immediate rematches when the person that lost got finished. It's stupid. I don't think Todd Duffee should get an immediate rematch with Rusow either.

Also, did Sonnen have a sidechoke in the 5th round and give it up to go back to mount? Looked like it.

LUCK = Laboring Under the Correct Knowledge
So yeah, maybe Silva was "LUCKy", but it's only because he made his own damn luck.

I think it's just a shame that no one here REALLY knows the jiu jitsu game. Anderson was trying for that triangle THE WHOLE FIGHT. The Triangle Choke is a white belt technique, perfected when you're a blue belt. Anderson was looking for openings the entire time when Sonnen was leaving himself open. Sonnen just did a great job of posturing up and keeping position. Sonnen didn't even try to pass guard or anything. There are no such things as A LUCKY SUBMISSION. Not with Leben, Werdum, or Anderson. They all train for these types of things and go in whenever they can. Lesnar gets praised for taking a beating and coming back to win, but when it comes to Anderson "HE GOT LUCKY"? Give me a break. I rag on Silva's fighting style all the time because he loves to wait for the other guy to do something and then he attacks, but last night showed his heart and his will to keep trying until the last minute for the triangle, which he was trying to do for the ENTIRE FIGHT, if you know exactly what BJJ is. Grow up, kids. This is fighting. Anything can happen, and almost nothing is "lucky". You're a f****** d*** & I hate you most of the time, but I totally agree with what you said. Like I said earlier, I can't even rag on Silva right now and I would love to right now.

Here's an interesting question... Is Anderson Silva's WIN over Chael Sonnen more concerning, or Fedor's LOSS to Werdum? I think so. He was dominated for 4+ rounds. Also, no reason for either man to get bashed on this day. Sonnen did everything he said he would do except win. Silva showed heart, decent ground defense, and ultimately stuck around long enough to pull the win. I'd like to hate on Silva right now, but I can't even do it. If he had lost I would be lmao, but I can't do anything but respect him today and respect Sonnen as well b/c I thought he was geting KTFO but he didn't. He showed up. And, so far, he's been classy in defeat.

Anyone have this happen to them.
When playing versus my cousin whoever has the player 2 controller is able to use the charge method to do subs while player 1 can do nothing. And it doesn't matter which controller is controller 2.
