Fighting in the UFC Undisputed PS3 version is often assumed by those who have yet to play the game as being similar to Wrestling games – they couldn’t be more wrong. Wrestling is a crude style of fighting leaving a lot left up to the circumstances to determine if the move will succeed or not. In UFC Undisputed for PS3, which is mixed martial arts you must learn to fight with speed and precision. The very nature of this PS3 game means more complicated controls (although they have been simplified in the last few years as the championship’s popularity grew). Each button carries it own function and must be combined with body and feet movement for maximum damage. Below is a simple list of the basic controls for UFC Undisputed for the various UFC fighting moves to put the rest of this article in context:

In order to properly protect yourself and to position yourself for attack in UFC Undisputed, movement is key to your UFC fighting moves. Using the left analog stick, move with your opponent during a defensive move, and then move against or around your opponent while on the attack. Depending on how far you push the analog stick in UFC Undisputed, you will either walk or run. Walking is a good way to save energy but you can also be open for attack if you walk for too long. Stepping, which is done by a quick flick of the analog stick has many uses. If you flick it to the side, you can dodge an enemy attack with specialized UFC fighting moves and also put yourself in a great position for a counter strike. It can also be used to quickly close in on the enemy for a punch or kick. If you step in and attack at the same time the energy in the movement gives a lot more power to the attack – evident from the sound of the contact. You will need to practice a bit to gain the right control to improve your fighting moves in UFC Undisputed.
