I don't think he that much of a dirty fighter then a clever fighter... he has his hands fully reached and he's faced turned away most of the times.... he doesn't do it deliberately as some of the people proclaim... if Gus fight as much as he does you would've said Gus is also a dirty fighter.

The noobs guide to fighter building.
Other experienced users can feel to contribute and weigh in their opinions. I have enough fights under my belt that I think I know how to build fighters and I’ve been pretty successful. So I am creating this guide to help some newer users who may not know what they are doing. Now in all cases, conditioning and strength are very important so I am omitting them from essentials. But, on the same coin, they are very easy to train up. So I like to start my guys with 1 strength point and 10 in conditioning and spend a few weeks training them up. I also feel it is beneficial to have a moderate understanding of clinchwork. I like to give all my fighters some clinchwork, but other users may disagree. So, I am also going to omit clinchwork from my guide. I also think its best to have the fast learner trait for all fighters. So I am omitting that as well.
There are several ways to build fighters. Some work, some don’t. This guide should give you a pretty good understanding of how to build a good fighter. I am adding examples from in game fighters.
Styles that work:
Chuck Liddell (my personal favorite and most successful) – This is your standard sprawl and brawl boxer. They require good boxing and wrestling in the main stats. On top of that, good punches, takedown defense, striking defense, and defensive grappling are essential for success. In the physical stats, agility for the striking and balance for the takedown defense will help your guy tremendously. Recommended hidden stats: Natural KO power and Granite Chin
Cro Cop – This is your Chuck Liddell with Muay Thai instead of boxing. High MT and wrestling are essential. Good kicks, punches, td defense, striking defense, and defensive grappling will keep the fight on the feet and your shin in your opponent’s jaw. Agility, balance, and flexibility are essential. Recommended hidden stats: Natural KO power and Granite chin
Gay Pride (this is an early stage Cro Cop)
Jake Rosholt – This is your typical one dimensional wrestler. Probably something like wonderful wrestling with a blue belt. Don’t be afraid to put a little in his boxing as well. In order to pull this off, you need high striking defense, takedown offense and defense, as well as ground and pound or submissions (one or the other to start and build the other in the long run) and defensive grappling. The best physicals to have are speed and balance. Recommended hidden stats: Granite chin and big heart
Damien Maia – Your BJJ stud who knows nothing else. There is only one, ONE way to pull this off successfully. High BJJ and the rest in wrestling…any other way is a recipe for failure. Striking defense, takedown offense, submissions, and defensive grappling are all needed to make a Maia. As far as physicals, flexibility and balance will help a lot. Recommended hidden stats: Granite chin and big heart
BJ Penn – This is your boxer/BJJ player mix. This one is a bit tricky and somewhat complicated but very effective if you can pull it off successfully. I like to go with high level punches, striking defense, submissions, and defensive grappling. You can also put some into takedown defense and build up his wrestling in case you fight a Maia. For this one, you’ll need agility and flexibility. Recommended hidden stats: KO power and big heart/granite chin
Matt Hughes – This fighter is a top position grappler but more multi-faceted than a Rosholt. You can probably do it with maybe respectable wrestling and proficient BJJ or something of the sort. In order to pull this off, I suggest good striking defense, takedowns, either GNP or subs (I prefer submissions), and defensive grappling. Physical stats needed are speed and balance. If you go for subs over GNP, add some flexibility as well. Recommended hidden stats: Granite chin and big heart
Anderson Silva – You guessed it. This is a MT/BJJ player. Maybe Pele would be a better fighter to describe this style but I am not sure how many people know who Jose “Pele” Landi Jons is. But I digress. Here’s how to pull this one off. I like to start them with somewhere around proficient MT and BJJ and then I like to build their boxing. Good kicks, knees, punches, striking defense, submissions, and defensive grappling are needed. You can also throw in some takedown defense and build his wrestling in case you fight a Maia but that is a matter of personal preference. Agility and flexibility are needed to be effective. Recommended hidden stats: Natural KO power and granite chin
Josh Koscheck - I am not too familiar with this style as I have never created one of these. But, this is essentially a wrestler with hands. You are going to need high boxing and wrestling, much like a Liddell but you need some other secondary stats that a Liddell wouldn't need. Punches, striking defense, takedown offense and defense, and defensive grappling. As far as physicals go, you'll need agility for striking, speed for the takedowns, and balance to stuff the takedowns and to maintain top control. This is particularly effective due to its versitility. Recommended hidden stats: Natural KO power and either heart or granite chin.
Styles you should avoid:
I am not going to give examples because that has potential to embarrass managers.
Michael Bisping – These guys are mediocre at everything but in reality, they suck in general. They can’t KO people (unless they suck), they can’t sub people (unless they suck), and as soon as they fight a specialized, properly built fighter, they get destroyed. Personally, when I see I am fighting a Bisping, I know I am going to win. Now this is a very controversial topic because some other respected managers will disagree with me and say this is an effective style. I say look at the top 10 P4P and tell me how many Bispings are on that list.
Nate Diaz – High level BJJ and shitty boxing…nothing more. As a general rule of thumb, when you build a high level BJJ player, make sure you give them wrestling. Otherwise, they are going to get KOd virtually every time they fight.
For those curious, my team consists of a Hughes, a Maia, 2 BJ Penns, a Cro Cop, and 5 Liddells.
Other managers feel free to add your opinions.
how do you get a jon jones?

And get them to do it in cosplay, the merge off markets would be incredible for the revenue and it covers multiple bases (for me at least) :-)
i think Dana should read this lol
-
Machida was never actually ahead in that fight though.. so eh..
Besides, if we went by first round performances Travis Lutter gave Anderson Silva a run for his money.
yeah true... in that case chael sonnen did the same thing.lol
-
He wrestled Shogun for what it's worth.
He was ahead for a couple of seconds in round 1 after landing the only significant punch of that round...
true he wrestled with shogun... but lost to Phil Davis and submitted. and we dont know where shogun morale levels were because he didnt do so well his last couple of fights. he won ,loss, won, loss and so it goes on
-
oh yes
still ronda by armbar
we all know Ronda's going to win... Why not make it interesting lol
-
Shouldnt we add jello or mud?
-
Rampage was rated with good reason, but he probably should've just retired after the Jardine fight -- dude didn't seem to fight like he actually cared after doing the A Team.
Probably not, but he has the best shot of anyone that I can see.
I think Machida still has. the 1st round he gave jones a run for his money but after the cut he just crumdbled. I think he should just stay away from jones's pointy elbows lol
-
I don't think Gustafsson is overrated, he has been in UFC for a while now and been climbing the ladder in silence and I don't think he has gotten the hype that he deserves. Looking forward for the fight, Gustafsson is an interesting mix in the LHW division with good footwork and sharp striking and I think he will put Jones in all kinds of trouble.
What you say is true and i agree with you, but do you honestly think he has enough weapons in his arsenal to take out jon jones i havent seen him fight of his back against someone with the wrestling abilities like jon jones's and jons elbows are devastating...
-
Im also surprised anyone hasnt said Gustafsson yet... hes good,but is he the guy thats going to take jon jones out?
-
I wouldnt say Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir is overated. I mean get on the ground with frank and hell break you and Brock... I meaan that i guy is fast as heel woth that huge frame, but a guy that is hugely overated is Quinton Rampage Jackson... those last fights he was hardly agrresive and so called "rampage" at all.

She's a fucking goddess! Better looking than Rhonda for sure. Too bad she's going to get her arm broken... at least she'll have a nice career modeling once her arm mends!
Yeah she is but there is just something damn sexy about a woman(Rhonda) that armbars the shit out of all her competitors lol
