Only thing that looks better in this one over ufc 4 is the striking, it looks faster and more responsive. Other than that it looks almost identical and the Ali character model doesn't look all that good, Ali looks way better in Undisputed in my opinion.

Imo tyson looked way better in ufc2. The movement in that game/striking also looked like it suited him better, still cool him n ali are in the game though. Edit: tyson's stance was also better in 2.

Or “how do you expect him the answer anything other than “yes or no” questions during a fight?”. Uhhh the same way some fighters literally have full conversations with people outside the ring DURING the round. And if your argument is “well he just gone kneed in the head” then you’re literally admitting he shouldn’t be allowed to continue lol.

Which this game kinda fails to do every release. Imagine if a company like rockstar made a fighting simulator.. they would blow it out the park with the smallest details that even after yrs later it would still be played.

If Tyson DID fight an MMA match he would probably fight Southpaw seeing as how hes left handed. Im surprised these mma games dont think that way. If he was used to boxing orthodox, then fighting southpaw would put his "strong" foot forward. Alot of wrestlers who switch to mma fight the opposite stance of there handedness to put there strong foot forward to shoot faster. Tyson could do both, but would probably lean towards southpaw for better balance, and to put his right foot forward which he made his strong foot by fighting orthodox for so long.
