EA MMA is a fun game. I own it. However, the controls are a bit harder to learn than Undisputed. The game is actually pretty hard as well. I just dislike that if a guy is a wrestler, all he will do is go for takedown, after takedown, after takedown. There AI seems a bit flukey.
The roster is always fun because there is all the other fighters not in the UFC, so thats cool.
Anyway, on to UFC topics. The past two events have been awesome. I am a HUGE Melvin Guillard fan, and watching him demolish Evan Dunham was great. If he keeps fighting like he does he will have a shot by the end of the year. Whats great is he wins fast, and keeps himself fresh. His takedown defense is excellent which will keep him from getting dominated by a Gray Maynard/Clay Guida. His balance stops him from getting brought down by a submission guy, like Dunham.
His strength is his biggest asset. It will stop guys from overwhelming him on the ground, allowing him to get back to his feet and take them out. Not only all of that, but he has a great chin. With Florian dropping to 145, I think Guillards biggest ground threat is now gone. Diaz will not submit Guillard again if they fight again.
Silva dominating Belfort is not surprising. I don't really see Silva having trouble with GSP either. I just think GSP is used to beating on guys his own size and granted he beat up Fitch who is probably the biggest Welterweight....Silva is still bigger than Fitch. I think GSP would get beat up on the feet badly.
Jones vs Shogun should be interesting...I really think Shogun will win and I don't know why everyone thinks Jones has it so easy. Shogun, if he's in good health, is the best striker Jones will have faced. Not only that, but he's the best all around guy. He's fought MUCH tougher guys, so I think Jones has his work cut out for him.
Fedor losing was shitty. I bet on Silva to win, so I won a little bit of dough. I hope he doesn't retire because I still think he can fight fine. There was another round of fighting and Fedor is NEVER out of a fight. Sucks it was a stoppage. Unless he loses by KO/TKO, I don't feel it was as clearcut of a loss as some.
