In some of the matches, this was the beginning of the end as a rapidly sunk in submission slid through my almost non-existent defences. Now that contract was up for renewal and who would be standing opposite me but the very same chump I had dispatched earlier who had now become my rival.Īs we fought in this rematch it appeared that it would be a case of violent deja vu as I rocked him repeatedly with heavy punches only for him to shoot in for a takedown and drag me to the mat before ol’ Sarel could respond.

He was a fighter I had knocked out brutally in the first round of just my second fight as a pro in the dingy bush-league fighting circuit in which UFC 3 starts off your very lengthy Career Mode. This was a huge problem for two very significant reasons.įirstly, my opponent knew it. However, this focus on the art of knocking people the f-k out came at a cost as his ground game was akin to a flopping mackerel on the deck of a fishing trawler. Sarel Seemonster, the brutal middleweight I had created through the game’s incredibly in-depth character creation system – he was equal parts cave troll and troll doll – was a punishing in-close brawler, with devastating hooks and uppercuts and a leg kick like a long-handled wood axe. Unfortunately, this was proving to be difficult as I had been replaying this one fight over and over again more than 20 times now. I had become gripped with a singular purpose: To divorce my opponent of his consciousness using the fist-shaped sledgehammers attached to the ends of my arms. It was 2:15 in the morning and I had to be up for my day job in a couple hours, but I couldn’t stop playing EA Sports UFC 3.
