DIFFERENT TYPES OF TAKE DOWNS IN A CLINCH

Hints

If you hold down R1 and the X button, it will take your opponent down with a hip toss. In so doing you will be taken into a side control or side saddle position, depending on the stamina of your opponent.

Holding down the R1 and the O button will ankle pick your opponent. You will remain standing so that you can pounce on your opponent afterwards.

Once you are in the dominant position ( R1 and square button ) if you hold R1 and the O button, the game will cause this big back suplex move and you will be put into a top side control position.

Another tip is to use the clinch to launch body shots

Use the clinch for take downs

Push your opponent against the cage in a clinch.

If you are in the middle of the octagon, everything moves super-fast and it is difficult to find your bearings. So putting your opponent against the cage does have it’s advantages

STRIKING TIP

Hints

You should try and drain the stamina of your opponent to get a stamina advantage over your opponent. The easiest and quickest way to obtain that objective is to make your opponent miss his strikes completely so that it is not even hitting your guard. If your opponent gets you onto the cage, you need to lunge out f his way using L1/R1 or LB/RB in Xbox. Body kicks and other kicks from you will drain your opponent’s stamina very quickly. 

Another tip is to keep your feet square when you strike. In other words, do not touch your left stick. Sometimes it is necessary, like when your opponent moves away from you, but if your opponent is coming towards you, you can throw combinations without moving your feet. This is beneficial in two ways. First, your combinations come out a lot faster and more accurately and secondly, it causes a lot more damage.

CLINCH CONTROL

Hints

Initiate clinch by holding down the R1 and jab button ( square if you are orthodox and triangle if you are a southpaw ). 

Uppercuts to the head is caused by holding down the square or triangle button

Hooks to the head is caused by holding down the L1 and pressing down the square or triangle button

Uppercuts to the body is caused by holding down the L2 and pressing the square or triangle button

Hooks to the body is caused by holding down L1 and L2 while pressing the square or triangle

Elbows to the head are caused by holding down the L1 while pressing the square button and the X button together

Holding L1 whilst pressing the X or the O button will automatically take you to a tight clinch and throw knees to the head

Holding L2 instead of L1 will throw knees to the body

These strikes are very draining but if you land these correctly  and properly, they will cause huge amounts of damage.

If you are on the receiving end of a clinch and you try and defend against a strike, holding down the R2 and the L2 together, you will block anything coming toward your body.


Once you find yourself in an attacking clinch, use your left stick to push your opponent in any direction you want him to go to. When you want to get out of a clinch, whether attacking or defending, push your left stick away from your opponent and you will slowly move away.

If you are in an attacking clinch and you press R1 and the square button, you will move into a more aggressive and dominant position in the clinch where strikes to the head and the body can be thrown.

If your opponent has you in a clinch against the cage, it is more difficult to get out of it because there is no way to move back away from your opponent, so you would need to move your left stick either up or down depending on the position you find yourself in.
