So many people found fault with the system in UFC 2 that I’m surprised it hasn’t seen an overhaul, though it has received a small facelift that makes it easier to pick up on the screen. One thing that hasn’t changed – at least not drastically – is the minigame you initiate any time you initiate or fend off a submission. But for the first time, a UFC game actually delivers the Mortal Kombat moreishness to warrant this preparation. The upshot? You’re going spend a fair chunk of time reading through the extensive moves list – a Mortal Kombat-esque breakdown of bone-breaking combinations unique to each fighter.

Punches are still mapped to the X and Y buttons and kicks are still executed with B and A, but bumpers and triggers vary the output. ![]() Cleverly, the right stick is mapped to head movement, so you can now rock back, watch a shot brush the tip of your nose, and counter with devastating efficiency – à la Mr McGregor. UFC 3 has learned some harsh lessons and fighters are more fleet-of-feet now, quite capable of throwing kicks and punches while dancing around the octagon. The net result was something resembling a turn-based game of Tank. The left thumb stuck could control precisely where that punch or kick went, but it came at the expense of actually moving. In the latter, fighters fought like identical chess pieces you moved forward a block at a time, steadied, then got to work. But the good news is that not only is UFC 3 an appropriately kinetic and violent expression of the sport, it’s a much better game than UFC 2 before it. All those Conan and Jimmy Fallon appearances have helped brush that issue under the carpet. In many ways he legitimizest what is, deep down, a dangerous and fringe pursuit. McGregor’s ascent has been nothing short of joyous, and he’s a big reason mixed martial arts is a global force today.
