Knocking people out is that easy? Geez.
On normal, yeah. I'm not nearly good enough on the ground, and defending submissions, to try and turn up the difficulty yet.

he needs to turn up the difficulty
Yes I'd need to do that in order to make KO's harder but I'm not ready for that cause my ground game is terrible and it's terribly hard to learn.

Ok I hate this games online play.
I dominate almost every fight and the game finds some BS way to cheat me.
And the reversals on here are a joke.
Getting reversed from full mount just by pulling your head out? So dumb.
And they made epic muay thai offense but terrible muay thai defense.
This game is busted so bad online.
Online play on it is very hard because you play against a bunch of people who have nothing to do but play the game for hours and hours and hours every single day and if they know anything, at all, about the ground game it makes it very easy for them to reverse things into other submissions and catch you with them.
I don't play online against folks to much. I'm a fan of the career mode and the title/title defense mode. I've won the LHW title as Rampage and opened up the Title defense game play, but i haven't played it yet, cause I was playing my career.
So an update on my career. It ended last night. I'm not sure how they decide when to make you retire, rather it's a certain year or a certain age cause I had to retire at the end of 2022 (I believe that was the year) at the age of 34.
I had a few things go on from my last post.
- After winning the LHW title I successfully defended it 4 times before they gave me another shot at fighting Shogun. Once again the ***** successfully submitted me bring my title fight losses to 3 against him via submission.
- I won my next fight and got an immediate shot at him again and once again he submitted me for another win. 4 times now.
- Several fights later I had another shot at him and he beat me, once more, via submission to give me a 5th LHW title match loss to him via submission.
- One fight after that loss I was told that it would be my last year in the sport and they wanted me to give it all I had to go out royally.
- I defeated 2 more top contenders throughout the year and then in the final fight of my career, at the end of 2022, I was once again put in the ring against Shogun Rua for the LHW Championship.
- In my 6th, and final, title match shot at Shogun I was finally able to KO him in a Championship fight to win the LHW Championship for the second time and to finally beat the one guy who I could never beat in a LHW Title match. The reason I won was that by that time I'd finally worked on my submission, and takedown defense, to a much better level AND I'd finally learned enough on the ground to hold his head and force the ref to either let us up or to make him rock backwards, to get out of my grasp, so that I could then kick him off me and get up.
My Final Career Tallies-
Record: 42-9 career record with 42 KO's.
Amature Record 9-2
UFC Record 33-7
No fight went beyond the first round. I either KO'd, or was beaten, in the first round of every one of my fights.
My fastest KO ever was against Lyoto Machida (right after I'd lost the LHW title to Shogun Rua) when I KO'd him in 21 seconds. My fastest KO's prior to that were the 35 and 36 second KO's of Brandon Vera.
Of my 7 UFC losses 5 of them game to Shogun Rua, via submission, in UFC title matches. My other losses were the submission loss to Griffin, also in a LHW title match, and a KO loss to Vera in my second ever UFC match.
For my career I was in 12 LHW title matches winning the title 2 times and successfully defending it 4 times giving me a 6-6 LHW Title match record.
I fought and defeated Rashad, Rampage, Lyoto, Griffin and Shogun more times than anyone fighting and beating them all 4 or more times each (Except Shogun who I only beat 2 times in 7 match ups with him). So basically this game made me fight these guys most of the times cause of my record always keeping me toward the top of the division.
Outside of those guys my only LHW fights were 3 with Vera and one with Luiz Cruz and then my one time fights with Liddell and Coleman very early in my career.
I was offered a chance to move to HW, while LHW champion, but turned it down at the time cause I desperately wanted to defend my title against Shogun and finally beat him in a title match. By passing up the chances to move up I wound up having to fight till the end of my career in LHW division to get that elusive title match win over him so I never got the chance again to go up to HW.
I retired as a 2 time LHW Champion and was not offered the Hall of Fame (From what I understand from a buddy of mine you have to go nearly undefeated to get that offer.)
It was an absolute blast of a time and I'll very likely do another one soon enough but I think I'll start in MW this time so that I can move up to LHW and try and win the belt in both divisions.
