A second run through the guide after you've put in some time in the octagon will clear up a lot of things for you.
The most obvious aspect of combat in the UFC is striking. "Striking" refers to punches and kicks, and for the purposes of
this guide "striking" specifically refers to punches and kicks thrown while at least one fighter is standing.
In UFC 2009 Undisputed, there are three possible striking styles: Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Each fighter in the
game is associated with one of these three styles (in real life, not every fighter can be so easily categorized) which
determines his striking options. Naturally, a Boxing practitioner puts emphasis on his punches, while a kickboxer is
strong in both punches and kicks. A Muay Thai fighter has strong kicks and an emphasis on eight-pointed striking, which
means he uses a lot of elbows and knees in addition to fists and feet.
Striking Overview
No matter which striking style you choose, you always have access to these basics. Everyone has four main attacksÏ
left punch, right punch, left kick, right kickÏwhich, assuming you're playing on a typical control pad, are executed with
the four face buttons. Simply tapping the face buttons will give you weak versions of the four attacks.
Every striking style can modify the strength of these four strikes by holding the left analog stick toward the opponent
while pressing the attack button. If you tap the right punch button while pressing the left stick toward the opponent, you
get a heavy version of the right punch which does more damage but typically is slower to execute and harder to combo.
You can also modify each of the four main strikes by holding the LT (360) or L2 (PS3) to attack low. A low punch will hit
to the opponent's body, while a low kick will go after the opponent's legs. When you throw combinations, constantly mix
up your high and low strikes to make your combinations difficult to block. Blocking in Undisputed is pretty toughÏalmost
impossibleÏif the fighter on offense is good about mixing up strikes.

B o x i n g
In addition to the possible strikes listed above,
practitioners of Boxing can further modify their
punches by holding LT (360) or L1 (PS3). These
modified punches deal very serious damage and
usually involve some head movement which makes
the boxer more difficult to counter.
From outside range, these modified punches typically
result in big, looping hooks. While in close, these
punches become uppercuts. Boxers can also modify
their punches in the clinch with the same button to
work a powerful uppercut. As a boxer, be sure to use
these benefits to your advantage. Mix these modified
punches into your combos to gain a technical advantage in inside, close exchanges.
K i c k b o x i n g
Similar to boxers, kickboxers can modify their outside
punches with the LT (360) or L1 (PS3) button. But
with the Kickboxing style, this modified punch results
in a superman punch which has outstanding range
and solid power. From way outside range, this same
combination will give you a rangy spinning back fist.
Superman punches are very fast for outside attacks,
but they're not real useful in close or in combos. And
as such, you'll find that if you try to modify a punch
with the same modifier while in clinch range, your
fighter will simply execute a normal punch instead of
a boxer's uppercut. Though a kickboxer can, like a
boxer, execute an uppercut in the clinch.
So while kickboxers don't get the same close-range punching advantages of boxers, they do get some sweet kicking
skill. Modify a kick with the LT (360) or L1 (PS3) button to execute a high kick which attacks the opponent's head. Head
kicks are very powerful and can earn you knockouts from outside, adding to the kickboxer's general strength as an
outside striker.

M u a y T h a i
If Boxing gives a technical advantage in close striking
and Kickboxing gives an advantage in outside
striking, Muay Thai is at an advantage in clinch
striking. To enjoy the real benefits of Muay Thai,
clinch with the opponent using both hands to assume
the Muay Thai clinch. From this clinch, you can
"sway" the opponent in any direction (using the right
analog stick) and line up a wicked knee strike to
coincide with the sway. Normally in a clinch, the
opponent can retaliate with his own strikes, but during
a sway the Muay Thai fighter has the exclusive on
strikes.
But Muay Thai fighters have strengths outside the clinch. Like Kickboxing, Muay Thai gives you access to modified kicks
by holding LT (360) or L1 (PS3) while hitting a kick button to execute a high head kick. Head kicks are very powerful and
have outstanding range. Furthermore, Muay Thai fighters have access to a flying knee attack which you can perform by
holding the kick button modifier and kicking from way outside range.

Grappling is what separates Mixed Martial Arts from other combat sports such as Boxing and Kickboxing. Grappling
comprises everything from the standing clinch to the intricacies of the ground game and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It is a very
complicated and nuanced art, so don't expect learning grappling in Undisputed to be easy.

There are three core styles on which every fighter's grappling is based (at least in the game): Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ),
Wrestling and Judo. While the general basics of each style are the same, there are nuances and benefits for each style
that you should know and exploit. BJJ fighters have strong submissions and excellent ground transitions. Wrestlers are
generally more powerful, with strong takedowns and ground-and-pound skills. Judokas are somewhere in between, with
slick throws while standing that operate as effective takedowns, plus better-than-average ground transition skills.
Grappling Overview
There are essentially two different stages of grappling in Undisputed, and the gameplay mechanics for each stage are
different. While standing, you can initiate a clinch with the opponent by flicking the right analog stick toward the
opponent. During a typical, double-underhook clinch, you can deliver very weak attacks or, more importantly, setup a
takedown attempt.
The three different grappling styles have different options for takedowns, but generally all takedown attempts are best
when you've got double underhooksÏwhich means that both of your arms are under the armpits of the opponent in the
clinch. In the standing clinch, fighters will shift their arms around to try and establish double underhooks (by tapping
forward on the right analog stick) on the other fighter since it's the more advantageous position (versus the relatively
weak overhooks, which is having your arms over the top of the opponent's arms in the clinch).
After the transitional stage of the takedown attempt, assuming the takedown is successful, you're left in the ground stage
of grappling. Ground grappling is more complicated than the clinch, but it's also easier to see who has the advantage.
Generally, the fighter on top has the strategical advantage in ground grappling, though there are multiple possible
ground positions, each with varying degrees of advantage to the top fighter.
While on the ground, you can perform transitions with inputs on the right analog stick. Quarter-circle inputs result in
minor transitions that will improve your position quickly, easily, but are easily blockedÏminor transitions are good for
fighters with weak grappling skills. Fighters with strong grappling skills can use major transitionsÏwhich require a bit
more than a quarter-circle, but a bit less than a half-circle inputÏwhich result in an even bigger improvement in position.
It's important to note that while transitioning you cannot throw ground strikes or attempt submissions. Conversely, if
you're busy throwing strikes you won't be able to improve your ground position. So if you've in a disadvantaged position
(like on the bottom), don't waste time throwing punches. Try to transition to a better position. We've got a Ground
Positions & Transitioning tutorial that goes into more detail and which we suggest giving a good once (maybe twice
and thrice) over.
B r a z i l i a n J i u J i t s u ( B J J )
As mentioned earlier, BJJ fighters have excellent
submission skills and extended ground transition
abilities. A good BJJ fighter can easily assume a
disadvantaged ground position and turn it into an
advantaged position with the proper techniques.
Which is good, because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
practitioners typically do not have strong takedowns.
While in a standing clinch, BJJ fighters can attempt a
takedown but it's not strong. You've got a much better
chance of pulling guardÏdone by holding LB (360) or
L1 (PS3) and flicking the right analog stick in any
directionÏto take the fight to the ground, though
doing so leaves you on the bottom in the ground
