UFC 2009 Undisputed: Pre-Fight Strategy

[judgejudy]

my strategies are as follows:
Avoid Mir
Avoid CAF's
Avoid Thai Clinch.

that's really all you need.

I'm happy I'm not the only person that HATES/REFUSES to fight Mir.

-You don't stand a chance using Wrestling or Judo against a skilled BJJ guy unless you get lucky on your feet.

-Nog is your best bet against Mir, but you're still at a disadvantage. AA isn't a bad choice either, but yea it's ridiculous all the moves Mir has.

-Anderson Silvia is practically unbeatable in either weight class if you know how to use him.

Not true at all. My Karo wishes to discuss this with you.

If someone picks Silva I actually love it. I normally win easily, because most of the Silva users don't know what the hell they are doing. But, you're right if someone does know how to use him then you are in a lot of trouble.

False. I primarily use wrestlers and can do work on skilled BJJ guys.

When comes to fight Mir, I tend to pick fighters with high ground striking offense decent grapple defense like Cain Valasquez (sic?), take them down, sit in guard and just pound away. The key is not letting them (or any BJJ guy) get into rubber guard.

[warrior310]

adding on to what noble said,

you have to pick guys with a great submission defense and striking game.

you have to study your fighters,you cant just pick anybody.

i love to pick kenny florian from the lightweights.

i suggest you pick him if you know how to use him.he's a great figter.

my approach is based soley on the opponents scouting report / record compared with who I'm using. if I see the person does not have a lot of wins via submission, I may aim to submit him. Ultimately, it depends on the strengths of my fighter. if I am using cro cop, I am gonna aim to KO with a kick. Jon Fitch, submit. W. Silva, clinch strikes. of course, if it goes to the ground game, I'm aiming to mount.
