Ultimate Fighting Championship: Sudden Impact uses an 8 directional D-Pad and 4 buttons - each one responsible for the fighter's different limb (LP, RP, LK,RK). The grappling moves, counters and submissions can be executed by pressing 2 specific buttons together. Each fighter has his own selection of moves. The fights can be won by knockout, point advantage or tapout. This version contains visible indicators of fighters being damaged during fights such as bruises and dripping blood.
