She’s disciplined and knows how to use the duration of the fight to her advantage whether that means patience or pace. In terms of looking at their skills, Tate most leans towards wrestling as her best attribute, with good submissions to enhance it into an overall effective MMA ground game. Tate, although coming back and looking great did fight an older opponent more akin to the landscape she left the UFC in half a decade ago. By comparison, it’s likely Vieira has not reached the height of her career yet but also she has most definitely had to navigate the division in a far evolved era of the sport. It’s a hard comparison because Miesha Tate is obviously the more accomplished of the two, having won the belt but also stepped inside against some of the GOATs of women’s MMA, in fights that will last in the history books for sure. This is an interesting fight and I think the way in which fans perceive these two fighters are from very different lenses. Right now, both Vieira and Tate are listed at -115. The betting odds for this main event bout have remained fairly stable since lines opened early in November. Fight fans can watch every main card, prelim, and early preliminary fight on ESPN+. Tate is the main event of UFC Fight Night 198 this Saturday night. Ketlen Vieira is ranked one spot above Tate in the women’s bantamweight rankings at #7 and will be looking to keep that spot after her recent defeat to Yana Kunitskaya in February this year. It was Tate’s first fight since UFC 205 in November 2016 and now she looks to climb the bantamweight rankings yet again in the hope of securing a rematch against dominant champion Amanda Nunes.
Tate made a surprise return to the Octagon this year when she defeated Marion Reneau via third-round TKO in July. That makes more sense than ALWAYS having to react to maintain position AND guessing what direction you have to maintain your position every single time the opponent makes a move.ĮA UFC is far more video game/mini game logic than realism.This weekend’s UFC main event is a women’s bantamweight clash between Ketlen Vieira and former champion Miesha Tate. You hold position and you have to either transition or strike carefully and THEN you have to react to maintain position. You may not have liked holding the sticks down to literally hold position but that was a lot more sim than this. If you like it, fine, but it does not feel nearly as realistic as how UD3 worked. You frantically race each other to see who gets there move off first. Irl how many times do you hear to them talk about the bottom fighter needing to be patient and calm? All the time! What you just described is a race. If UFC 3 had those things, it would be better than UD3 in every possible way. The only thing better about UD3 was the ground and pound, a few extra positions, and the rocks on the ground. UFC 3 grappling is by no means perfect, in fact, I wouldn’t even call it great, it has a long way to go before it’s actually fun to grapple, but it’s still much better than UD3 in terms of realism and logic. The simple fact that two people can try to transition different ways at the same time makes UFC 3 superior to UD3. The underlying logic of UFC 3’s grappling system is without question much better than UD3. You could really be a bit patient as the bottom fighter as you said, without having to win a race just to deny a transition. The mechanic just worked and people didn't hate it. I loved holding down the sticks instead as well. And as Haz said, again this is coming from someone who has trained extensively so it's very disappointing that I have to hate the grappling in this game so much but I do. This is really what ruins it and makes it completely un-fun for me as well. Sent from my SM-J700P using Operation Sports mobile app
I loved literally holding position by holding down the sticks and there's a lot more they can add to it like leg positioning (using the legs to lock around the opponents body or their legs) as someone else on here brought up. As the bottom fighter, you felt you could benefit from being calm and patient like fighters irl.īut grappling has such a frantic pace in EA UFC compared to UD. UD3 you had to hold position and carefully make your next move. Ya gotta race to deny the opponents move and immediately make yours cuz now you got an advantage, that's too arcadey and grappling shouldn't feel so rushed. EA UFC manages to make grappling feel too much like a race. Aside from the better mechanics & variety, I don't think denying transitions or holding position should require fast reflexes on top of a directional guessing game.
