The History of UFC Video Games Part IV - 'Uncaged Competition.'

[@adamcarr8120]

Fun fact, Dan Henderson is the only fighter to be in both PRIDE games, every UFC Undisputed, every EA UFC, and EA MMA

[@ItsPapaEddy]

Deservedly, dude was the GOAT of his time. First ever MMA double champion

[@gh0rochi363]

Hendo is the man

[@M3L203CT]

My favorite Mixed Martial artist of all time. That H bomb was no joke.

[@thegreat1007]

Nobody cares

55:10 No joke when I heard that I rolled my eyes and said "Jesus Christ" the exact same time you did in the video. Laughed my ass off

[@emobassist]

I thing i love about these retrospectives is Ians ability to paint a picture of those late night gaming grinds makes me feel like i was actually there

[@ShaunTheCHB]

Pride FC on the PS2 was heaps of fun. I loved creating my own fighters and pitting them all against each other in the Grand Prix. EA Sports MMA was such a fun game too and like you Ian I'm so bummed we never got another entry.

[@wolfhurricane897]

Out of curiosity how many fighters can you create in that PrideFC game?

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

The Pride FC games on the PS2 were great, but also the K-1 World Grand Prix games on the ps2 but between the two, idk which one is the best

[@kingdeztination]

I remember begging my mom to give me EA sports MMA and when I finally got it for Christmas, it was dream come true finally playing Randy Couture in a match along with Bobby lashley thank you for talking about these classic bangers bro can’t wait for part 5

[@kingflores8915]

EA MMA is basically the strike force game and I actually loved that game, wasn’t better than any of the undisputed games, but I still put hours into that game 😂

[@TG5455]

The blister on Ian's finger shows the pride and effort he put in the best work for this year's History Of series. 😢❤️

[@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo]

Having been a fan of ufc since the 90s VHS days, i was there every step of the way through the evolution of the sport from having bas rutten shamrock and severn in wcw vs the world to dreamcast so cool to have a video like this is sick nice one dude.

[@ManiacMonkboon]

I still play Pride FC to this day. I also installed a Flip Top to play Import Fire Pro Returns, King of Colosseum II, New Japan Pro Wrestling 4 and All Star Pro Wrestling 3. Fun fact, I've all my kid's have started and finished College before 2 Cold Scorpio's entrance has finished in ASPW3. Great Game's. I also have Victorious Boxers 1 & 2 as well. Great time's.

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

I recommend you should check out K-1 World Grand Prix games on the ps2 there comparable to the Pride FC games

[@alec2000]

This was another fantastic addition to this series. That EA Sports MMA retrospective still gets me emotional over a year later🥲. Hearing all of your beloved memories with that one and also hearing that you actually got the opportunity to speak and hang with the developers of said game is just even more special. I’m very happy you got to create those memories that will stick with you forever. Hearing your stories makes me love you all the more, every day. That’s how special and relatable you are to me, Ian. So I just want to say thank you again for all of your amazing, wonderful content, and I hope to try Pride FC, and although the servers have been dead, I hope to try EA Sports MMA one day. Hope you and the DanDans continue to have amazing ones, and I love you all.😊❤️

[@SoreEyeMusic]

I am so happy to know someone also put entire stories and characters from their MMA games into spreadsheets and stuff. With a bit of imagination, you can get ALOT out of simple, repetitive but customizable sports games, even without a story mode.

[@chrisbiggs5415]

Fun video! I don’t play or watch MMA/UFC content but it’s entertaining listening to you critique a franchise that you’re a fan of.

[@cuzzisaidso6220]

This is my favorite I've played and owned a lot of the UFC games I remember when I got pride that game was awesome seeing it being reviewed is just great 😃👍

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

I recommend you should check out K-1 World Grand Prix on the Ps2 it’s great, it’s up there where Pride FC is. There’s more K-1 games to choose from to play on ps1 or ps2

[@flubberisagoodmovie]

Im not even a fan of MMA and I still enjoy this series.

[@hiyabuddy7]

I can definitely relate. I'm not really a wrestling fan at all but still really like this channel 👍

[@TWJP99]

Absolutely! I prefer Ian's wrestling content but I still enjoy learning about the MMA world from his perspective.

[@ufcfan890]

you should watch ufc

[@Tim_Webb]

Man I loved ea sports mma, playing as Mayhem Miller and pretending I was on Bully Beatdown 😅 and the soccer kicks! Me and my buddy up the road had some brutal wars. Love the video mate, great work as usual xx

[@knitro9043]

Game was fantastic and did so many things right. Shame they didn't make another

[@JM1993951]

I kept a physical paper spread sheet of real life wins/loss/draw records (with opponents, times, and method of victory) followed by my exhibition tournament stats for every fighter in EA: MMA. That’s how much time I spent with that game. I kind of do the same for my WWE 2k19 Universe( yeah, I’m still playing it) but only with title records (more detailed than the records provided in-game) and I’ll jot down matches that get past 15,000 points and put a tally under that show to compare how each show is doing. And no, I don’t have too much time on my hands 😂. I need much, much more.

[@luckydragon6892]

Pride fc and undisputed 3 are the best mma games ever made

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

I recommend you should check out K-1 World Grand Prix on the ps2 it’s really great, there’s a good amount of K-1 games on the ps1 & ps2

[@a.s5759]

I remember buying pride fc at Hollywood video. Didn't come with the actual case but I still have it. At least 14 years later. Also have every pride on DVD. The memories. Thanks for another absolute great video!

[@lisgod3]

Man, EA Sports MMA...a love letter to the sport of MMA, from EA, of all people. All the rules and details from various leagues, and the presentation and realism....i'm glad I played it when it came out. What a wonderful retrospective.

[@knitro9043]

I still have my copy. Honestly the ps3 ufc games for me don't come close to EA sports MMA

[@printerschamp]

Absolutely agree. Still the best mma game in my opinion. I still have a 360 and ps3 copy.

[@jarvaniushorne3354]

​​@@knitro9043meetoo and dat shit was only 25 dollars

[@VisuallyImpairedGamer1987]

YES! I'm so glad you dropped the "stop, he's already dead!" meme. I genuinely want to get a copy of Pride FC for our PS2, and I absolutely love EA Sports MMA, and I still go back to the career mode every once in a while. This series has been a must watch so far!

[@StaticShock911]

Makes me INSANELY happy to hear someone shout out WMMA 3. I have easily sunk a couple 1000 hours into that game. Especially with the real world mods?? Come on… No self respecting MMA Fan / gamer could look at that with anything other than pure love in their souls. I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir but TEW is absolutely stellar as well. Should have known of all that of all the people, it’d be you, my friend!!

[@WLowry]

Pride FC and EA MMA where both fun games as an MMA fan

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

I recommend you should check out K-1 World Grand Prix games on the Ps2 there pretty good, it’s comparable with Pride FC games

[@terryterryd]

Cannot help smiling as I watch your vids, bud 😊

[@RedTrips_]

Ive been waiting patiently on this video and holy hell im so excited, thank youuu

[@YakkoWarnerTower]

Man I haven't played a UFC or MMA game in a long time they were so rad and good back in the 00's.

[@86tjfender]

An hour long!! Holy cow dandans we’re in for it now!! Love this series 🤘🏻❤️

[@BurnoutInc]

Really good. Jeez, you really know your MMA History. Pride FC looked really awesome. I remember seeing it on shelves but I’ve never been into MMA so I passed so I missed out. The presentation and entrances looked really incredible for the time.

[@timinou9915]

Another great retrospective 😎👌 good job man

[@ny-tylekker4972]

Love your content brody

[@EliteEasyE]

Ian I'm gonna drag you to the Sierra Madre like Dog haha Love the reference, love the game, and it gives me a time perspective.

[@ironlift2275]

I remember ea MMA really well, this thing was fun as hell, especially in person multiplayer. Extremely accessable and fluid.

[@loboneiner1034]

Other Japanese exclusives that feature MMA fighting: The Wild Rings (Xbox) Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (N64) And two of the K-1 games I believe but not 100% on those. I think it's 2004 & 2005.

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

The K-1 games are the best, it’s comparable to Pride FC games

[@bradnimbus4836]

Gon Goose says hi! He heard your voice and went crazy! Hahaha

[@goldeneyebannedx2492]

I never got to say this, but thanks for that life and death of EA Sports MMA Retrospective. It lets me know you never know what you have until it’s gone. 😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@chuckymagia]

That Pride FC game on PS2 is AWESOME! The hits sound effect on this game reminds me of the Atari's (2600) "Boxing" game!

[@eo8240]

Me and my mates got a lot of laughs out of PRIDE FC multiplayer. Its WWE All Stars level of fun. Love that game.

[@alexsilverkush6182]

Hey that wmma 3 sounds interesting Imma get that game...and yeah supremacy MMA is the backyard wrestling of MMA 😂 thank you so much for the video man , I'll share it the hell out of it!

[@Bassua255]

Great stuff as always! We really need them 300 Patrons

[@EliteEasyE]

Whoa.. blood splatter on the camera in Pride. Edit: And it looks beautiful to me. The intros... celebration with trophies AND belts. Omg as I'm typing this addendum, you said "as a belt mark" at 32:42 Belts AND trophies? What is this VPW2? love the celebration. Shits all over some modern games honestly. Never played but is this the Pride game that Sanders Keel pitched as told on Retro Wrestling Game Review? Om

[@wolfhurricane897]

I kinda wish for an MMA game with ALL original characters and great gameplay. And when i say all original characters i mean the roster is all original characters. Some can be voiced by real MMA fighters but i want it to purely be original characters.

[@RobinHood353G]

Really enjoy this series… was looking forward to the next video 😎

[@TheBeird]

Good stuff as always

[@clinton6039]

Thanks great video I enjoyed it. Thankfully I'm a lucky one who has all the skies and terrains but super helpful for other users. That's for the neighbourly advise.

[@thesouthallfam7998]

That revenge music reminds me of alot of sleeping in first period because we played all night. ESPECIALLY ON MONDAYS.

[@johnsnider2956]

Man I still think the submission mechanics were the best in EA MMA. You had to actually use some technique, and the different controls for chokes and joint locks felt satisfying as hell, and actually gave you a sense of what you're doing. It felt fuckin awesome pulling those off in online matches when your opponent couldn't cheat out of it like the computer does lol.

[@Thatguynathan9]

30:36 also when you switched to face buttons the type of punch you threw was dependent on which way you were moving the left stick. Which ALSO was terrible. You can't throw an uppercut or straights while walking forward only hooks.

[@BigTuna2112]

I remember the weird right stick controls in the fight night games. Hated it, switched to face buttons, fixed lol

[@MrBoJangles]

I played Pride FC so much when it came out

[@henry_crossley]

This was another banger.

[@Iskateandimprettygoodatit008]

Ive been looking for supremacy mma for so long I used to play it with my dad that game is so fun

[@616Entertainment]

Oh man, a Supremacy MMA fan! Thanks for watching.

[@Iskateandimprettygoodatit008]

​@@616Entertainment No problem I love your content

[@EdgarGonzalez-ix4ju]

Love the CMFTR shirt!!! I see that lol

[@AG-co5iu]

Yeah... I love you. Wait, did I say that out loud. *puts a comfy blanket on the couch as I put in NEVER SLEEP AGAIN and level up to MAX CUDDLE MODE*

[@TheCeejay95]

It's a little funny to hear WrestleMania 2000 music in the background for a UFC game 😂

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

Great video👏🏼, can you please do a video next on K-1 games on the ps2 🙏🏽

[@rashadnagi7531]

It may not be my thing, but you're crazy if you think I'm going to skip a new 616 retrospective now that KZbin is actually showing me that things got released.

[@TG5455]

4:45 Holyshit! They're going at it like their rock 'em sock 'em robots! 😲😱

[@ronniefox5025]

Pride FC for sure had the best MMA game for the PS2.

[@gameshock2916]

I didn't expect you to cover EA Sports MMA twice on your channel as a separate review and retrospective. I was thinking it would have been Pride FC, Supremacy MMA, and Bellator: MMA Onslaught for The History of UFC Video Games Part IV - 'Uncaged Competition.'

[@BigCort]

That pride game was dope, took a minute to understand the ground game but was great for its time

[@SouthernPsychopath]

I have never really cared about mma, except for paige vanzant if you catch my drift, but this series led me to pull up and watch some free fights the ufc has uploaded, and watch i did, for 2 and half hous straight, in the that time i watched brock lesnar be the first man to go 2 rounds with shane carwin.

[@KingGamezz87]

Dude EA Sports MMA is still to this day my favorite mma game ever👍 I still play it to this day brotha. Such a great title brotha. #ThanksForWhatYouDo #WeAreTheDanDans #MuchLove #UFC

[@Ijc0692]

Them mma controls is literally how I play fight night lol

[@JuanLopez-jz9fi]

Ian please do something with WMMA5. It is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. Would love to see you cover it in any capacity.

[@HansWick]

The mma controls were great if you liked the Fight Night series, I love the game, still have it

[@atodamadre3197]

I was a face button user for undisputed 2009 but I was less of a striker and more of a submission specialist. I was about 99% effective with submissions because of the way I held the controller when I performed them. I routinely got accused of using a modded controller. I've never used a modded controller but yeah I did have an unfair advantage based on my controller positioning

[@joshmedeiros9127]

You should look into king of colosseum 2 and virtual pro wrestling for their mma side modes

[@Tghaze]

If you go to the hospital they’re just going to tell you you reek of awesomeness my dude.

[@TelvinKipapa]

And chance of reviewing the K-1 video games?

[@JohnDoe-c4d6z]

The K-1 games are the best, with fighter like Peter Aerts, Ernesto Hoost, Jérôme Le Banner, Mirko Crocop in the roster

[@charvelred]

You must do a 616 retrospect on WMAC masters!!

[@KidTonyGaming]

EA used the dual control schemes because that's how the Fight Night games were set up after RD2, you had total control punching which used the analog stick and face button punching, I never understood how people complained about the controls for EA MMA when you could dp the exact same thing in Fight Night and no one ever complained

[@alexsilverkush6182]

Man that pride game is the only one missing bro. Great video man !! This history on Ufc is just doing great! I was worried pride was dog shit but you know what I'll buy it for sure

[@OTioCleiton]

Wow, I've never heard of this PS2 modification to play games from other regions. I used the Matrix chip for PS2, in Brazil this chip was the salvation of those who wanted to play PS2, with the prices of games being cheaper, since an original was 5x more expensive. And the good thing about this chip is that with it, it was possible to play games from the United States, European and Asian regions.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

53:37 Within The Ruins- Ataxia! That's actually pretty badass even if the game sucks LOL!

[@derrickhaggard]

I've played these games and they were all right.

[@Sappy_Soule]

Already watched this on Patreon but gonna rewatch and give a thumbs up 🤝🏼

[@WrestleWreckage]

I bought MMA Supremacy thinking i was going to get a pure MMA experience. I was so disappointed 😅

[@BW20ZF]

That the Mama mia guy who commentator wwe before 25:27

[@616Entertainment]

WWE is only a small, small part of Mauro's career. Dude has been around for decades.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

I always remember playing one of em At a GameStop years ago. The girl freaked out with i was punching the guy bloody on the ground.😂

[@KidTonyGaming]

Bobby Lashley was a beast in SvR08 and EA MMA

[@thegreat1007]

2:27 yeah that would probably be the waydigo against going on KZbin all together....just sayin'

[@birdmanhero]

I always said the Pride FC game was the best MMA game until the Undisputed series too

[@Sultanofsleez]

Bro I was such a stats nerd too man😂

[@marvellesaulsberry]

Supremacy MMA was...idk I enjoyed it kinda but I think that's just because I understood how to play it

[@NoMorePodDes]

There was a K1 gran prix game on ps1

[@BzaafiedTheYatagarasu]

11:14-11:20 This woman sounds awfully close to the Rumble Roses announcer...

[@jamesvaughn4126]

Randy couture is my favorite UFC fighter

[@Latino_Lariat]

Enson Inoue is a mfer to play against in VPW2. I wish you’d play the MMA mode in that game

[@wadeherrin6346]

Can you review retromania wrestling didn’t know you did the trophy list

[@OtherJosh89]

EA sports MMA helped me through my deployment

[@PETEYTHECLOWN]

Gutted, you didn't really cover Pride GP... that was by far the best PRIDE game there is....

[@josephgelinas7283]

I liked the EA MMA striking mechanics but I now know why I sucked online. I also liked the Pride game.

[@IndiConRecs]

nice *CMFTR* shirt weirdly topical

[@KidTonyGaming]

Tiburon is EAs main dev team, so technically EA did develop EA MMA

[@jamesvaughn4126]

I enjoy all MMA videos games

[@andysanchez1215]

I stop being a WWE fan in 2008 or 2009. I don’t exactly remember lol 😂 In 2009 I became a huge UFC fan. Especially when Brock Lesnar join the UFC!

[@EliteEasyE]

CAUTION I think i heard some early Smacdown music.

[@redrum623az]

you think MMA Supremacy is bad, play Bellator 😂😂😂

[@chrismayhem5447]

Body spammers in EA MMA online was awful 😂. I used to send so many toxic messages to my opponents afterward .

[@mjdf122]

Another great time with 616

[@Locknar77]

First and foremost, No One is better at this type of thing than Ian! LOL, calling Supremacy the Backyard Wrestling of MMA games, may actually be an insult to BYW!
