Using Kicks

Body kicks in UFC 3 can be easily countered and lead to a takedown so they should only be used when they have been setup. Well-timed low kicks however are difficult to defend against and can chop an opponent down fast so always look to get one in whenever possible.

Aim for the Liver

There is a certain amount of realism in UFC 3, for example, shots to the right-hand side of an opponent's body, where the liver sits, do more damage than shots to the left.

Break Blocks

If you have you opponent in trouble and they are almost about to be knocked out but are covering up you will be able to break down their defense by throwing shots from opposite hands. Mixing up straights and hooks will finish off your opponent quicker than just spamming the same shot.

Use Conner McGregor

If you select the cocky Irishman as your fighter you will be able to drop every fighter he faces in online gameplay. This is not surprising as the game has been heavily endorsed by Conor McGregor, who is the cover athlete as well as one of the UFC's top stars.
