UFC Undisputed 3

In the main Career mode, players create a custom character and progress through training sessions and matches to become famous. From the main menu, it's possible to schedule fights, do training or camp sessions, prepare a game plan, read news, and follow the rankings. In the different training sessions, specific skills or attributes can be chosen to practice and improve. Characters are defined through general information, one of the seven weight classes, physical appearance, and martial arts background. The fighting style includes boxing, karate, muay thai, kickboxing, wrestling, judo, sambo, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. Fighting is divided over three different stances – standup, clinch, and ground – with different skills and moves for each one.

Next to Career mode, Title Mode, Title Defense, and Ultimate Fights have returned, along with the new Pride mode. Pride has different round times and introduces a number of moves that are not allowed in UFC, such as head stomps and kicking an opponent when he is down. In Pride, there is also a Grand Prix with multiple matches in a single night where the damage is carried over. The game has been made more accessible through the option to choose between Amateur and Pro grappling controls.

The game can be played in multiplayer both locally and online. Additional fighters are made available through DLC along with a full season pass to combine the different releases. FMV clips are shown with scenes from fights and interviews with real fighters during the menus and fighting.
