Ultimate Fighting Championship is based on the no-holds-barred martial art tournament of the same name. What makes the game (and the real-life counterpart) distinct from wrestling, boxing, and other fights is the variety of fighting styles in use; it is perfectly possible to end up with a judo master facing a kickboxer.
The actual gameplay is simple enough. You have various basic moves, combos, holds, and so on. The complications come in the form of the huge list of moves, featuring many different styles. Hit your opponent until he gets knocked out, or force him to tap out early.
There are multiple game modes included. Among them are a survival mode, that has you face a string of enemies with minimal recovery, and career mode, which allows you to customize and improve your fighting style as you win fights.
Ultimate Fighting Championship was released on the Playstation in 2000. The game falls under the genre of Fighting .

How to Play
Getting Started
Life decreases when your character is attacked. When it is depleted, your character is KO'd and loses the match.
Pause Menu
Access this menu by pressing the Start button during gameplay. The menu items may be different depending on what game mode you play.
Time
Each round ends when the counter reaches 0. Each fight consists of 3 rounds with 5 minutes per round. Round length can be altered in the Options menu.
Rules
Winning
Victory is yours when one of the following occurs:
•
Knockout / KO: Opponent's life bar is empty.
•
Submission: This is a move that forces your opponent to tap out.
•
Time Up: When time expires, the judges will decide the winner based on the fighter that scored the most points during the match.
Stars
Stars are earned for beating Road to the Championship, allowing the user to keep track of who they have won with. If all stars are obtained, the player will be rewarded with a secret character. This, however, is not the case for secret characters.
Draw
•
In UFC Tournament, a draw counts as a loss.
•
In Road to the Championship, a draw counts as a title defense.
•
In Multi-Player Tournament, a draw causes a do-over. The two contestants must fight another bout until there is a winner.
•
In Exhibition, a draw is just a draw.

Road to the Championship
In this mode, you must defend your title against up to 18 challengers in order to earn the true title. This mode can only be played with fighters that have won UFC Tournament mode.
Each time you beat this mode with a different real-life UFC fighter, you will unlock more points to improve all your newly created fighters.

Fighter Moves
Each fighter varies slightly so be sure to check the unique moves list for each one.
Move the directional buttons and/or analog stick left and right repeatedly to change position when in bottom ground positions.
Press R1 to get up and go back to the standing fighting position when in the upper ground position.
Tip
Many moves are performed by two button combos. For instance, all fighters can grapple another fighter by pressing the X button and O button together.
Guarding Against Attacks
Pressing back in the opposite direction the character is facing will guard against your opponent's attacks.
When you are on the ground, you will need to press in the direction that you would use while standing. In other words, if you are on the left side of the ring, press left.

Tips & Maps
Create a well-rounded fighter
When creating a fighter, make him well-rounded in different fighting types like standing strikes or ground maneuvers to improve his defense.
Avoid exposing your back on the ground
Never get into a position where your back is exposed when fighting on the ground, as this allows your enemy to inflict substantial damage.
Counter after dodging
Wait for your opponent to attack, dodge, then quickly strike while they are recovering.
Counter corner traps
If trapped in a corner, counter the attack by taking your opponent to the ground to gain an advantage and strategize.
Learn opponent's attack pattern
Watch your opponent carefully to learn their attack pattern, which will help you find weaknesses and overcome their attacks.
Vary ground attacks
When on the ground, vary between strikes and submission attempts to make it harder for your opponent to counter and gain a dominant position.
Counter a takedown attempt
If your opponent attempts a takedown, counter with a knee to the face or by stepping to the side.
Vary your attacks
Hit your opponent with varying attacks, switching between punches and kicks to confuse them and prevent them from grabbing your limbs and forcing you to the ground.
