I got a BETA code today for the UFC 2 game. It's pretty sweet. The hits ACTUALLY feel like they hit the guys now. I loved UFC 1 and still to this day play it. UFC 2 is pretty sweet. The only thing I found a bit irritating was the ground game when playing against the skilled CPU. I got my butt kicked but got to learn it better. I got an understanding now after BJ Penn and I (GSP) sparred literally for 20 mins and he arm barred me to win lol.

EDIT: I'd recommend fans to check it out though. The graphics look great as well. UFC 1 kind of had a bit of an animated look on the fighters like the lighting. Here they look really good. Hits feel like they hit.

They also changed blocking to high and low. R1 blocks high, R2 blocks low. If you want to parry high you must hit R1 and any face button, to parry low you must hit R2 and any face button. This is good because in UFC there was only 1 block button and you could parry pretty easily. This ones going to bring some strategy to it.

Also the Roster is HUGE! You get the WW division in the Beta. It has all the same WW's from UFC 1 (including Royce Gracie) and also has:
Ben Saunders
Neil Magny
Kelvin Gastellum
Tim Means
Jordan Mein
Augusto Montano
Kenny Robertson
Erick Silva
Rick Story
CM Punk
Brandon Thatch
Stephen Thompson
Omari Akhmedov
Hyum Gyu Lim
Ryan Laflare

And Benson Henderson is in the WW division to.

Bellator makes me feel dirty. Last night's event was gross as usual. Lion Fights 27 was cool, but every fight went to decision and there was a massive robbery. Also watched some of an Eddie Bravo Invitational and it was easily the most entertaining of three. Highly recommended if you haven't caught one. They're free on YouTube.

Speaking of Bellator last night, Daley scores another walkoff



Randy's kid gets brutally faceplanted

• Bethe Correia vs. Raquel Pennington
• Hacran Dias vs. Cub Swanson

Benson Henderson signs to Bellator. Waiting for him to McGregor at WW and LW. The more names that go, the closer the UFC is to paying fighters again.

 

Feb 1, 2016

Wow. Huge signing for Bellator

 

Feb 1, 2016

Dana is extremely salty.

"The truth is we made him an offer that would have paid him substantially more - like not even in the same ballpark - than he's getting now if he were to become world champion again, but he chose their deal, which offered more up front," White said. "He's a former world champion who's ranked No. 15 now. We're looking for top-5 guys, guys that are going from 15 to 1, not the other way around."


"But I'm honestly happy for Benson. I'm not angry. Who knows? This could be the last contract he ever signs. He got the right deal for him. He's a great guy, and we wish him all the best."

Not shocked Bendo ended up in Bellator. His best days are behind him but he will still be the best fighter on the Bellator roster. I'll be far more pissed if the UFC fails to match Bellator's offers to Sterling or Overeem.

 

Feb 2, 2016

Welp, Joe Rogan is confirmed an idiot again.

 

Feb 3, 2016

Sergei Kharitonov signs with Bellator. Always wanted him in the UFC but knew he wanted to do kickboxing as well and wouldn't have been able to in the UFC. With Glory being on Spike as well, he has options.

I actually think Mitrione will end up in Bellator as well but Sterling and Reem I think will be back with the UFC.

 

Feb 3, 2016

I watched a Will Brooks fight earlier. Between that and what Phil Davis did in the Dynamite tournament, would I be right in assuming that Benson is the new champ? I have no clue why Reem wouldn't sign to Bellator and clean up. Easy fights, sponsorships, a Championship belt. Why not.

 

Feb 3, 2016

Yea Bendo should beat Koreshkov in similar fashion to how he just beat Masvidal. I dunno if he plans on going back down to LW but he would beat Brooks as well.

And I think the UFC opens up their wallet for Overeem, he is a guy who "moves the needle" and with Bellator not being in the PPV business I don't see it making sense for them to offer crazy money. I could see the UFC offering PPV points and an immediate title shot (skipping Stipe). Especially after getting outbid by Bellator for Bendo, they would take major heat if they lost Reem as well.

Luke Rockhold vs Chris Weidman 2 to headline UFC 199

 

Feb 3, 2016

Seeing rumors on Twitter that Werdum vs Stipe will headline UFC 198 in Brazil

Also Tim Means out of his fight with Cerrone due to some USADA s---

 

Feb 3, 2016

Yep, Tim Means failed an USADA test. Wonder who they gonna get to fight Cerrone now.

 

Feb 4, 2016

Looks like Cormier vs Jones is all but confirmed for UFC 197

 

Feb 4, 2016

f--- I liked that Cerrone/Means fight too. Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira will be the replacement.

Also Tecia Torres vs Rose Namajunas 2 is being targeted for UFC on Fox 19 and Jessica Aguilar vs Juliana Lima is the first fight announced for UFC 197(although we know Jones/DC will be the headliner & DJ/Cejudo is likely the co main).

 

Feb 5, 2016

MW division bit lame now. Should promote Souza to fight Rockhold after Soldier of God got caught juicing.

 

Feb 5, 2016

Yea i would rather see the Jacare fight as well, too many rematches going on.

Also the new "Lookin for a fight" series is better then TUF, should put it on FS1.
