Stephen Thompson is easily one of the few fighters someone could present as a role model. That's saying something when it's your job to cause more bodily harm to someone than they can do onto you.
That is the sole reason why I haven't bought UFC3 and 4. The striking is deep, complicated, and skill based. Grappling is glorified rock paper scissors.
@@christsang9728 The grappling has gotten better in ufc 4 because you can actually gnp people now but ufc 3 was the absolute worst, unless you had crucifix there was literally no chance of finishing a decent player on the ground but yeah the grappling is the worst idea I've ever seen. With any other gaming company it would have never hit the shelves in the state it is in for their 4th game
@@nathanrudd2327 honestly I think the only game that got gnp right was UFC Undisputed 3, it legit feels like the real thing, you can throw elbows, punches, hammerfists, and hell even karate chops. Also there were more positions to throw them from. I’ve never seen a game where you can elbow someone from the back mount. I mean if UFC 4 mixed their striking with Undisputed 3’s grappling it would be damn good. The game would feel far more fluid IMO.
Got Wonderboy winning this saturday. Neal has NEVER faced anyone quite like him, and I highly doubt he’ll do better than someone like Till or Woodley. Wonderboy however has EASILY made some of the best strikers in the sport look like fools, just look what he did to Masvidal. Stephen is one of the toughest puzzles to crack in the entire division, has a chin of steel and is sooooo difficult to beat in the range game.
I’ve been watching you’re videos for a while now, just gotta say you have the best showcases around I’ve recommended you to multiple friends definitely worth the watch.
Wonderboy is straight out of a comic book. All American, perfect square jaw pretty boy with a killer skill set. And then his fucking nickname is Wonderboy. Someone should make an MMA comic book man.
What a fight that main event was as well! I genuinely think Geoff showed him way too much respect, great for Wonderboy though! I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Till vs Wonderboy fight and that was incredible too!
As well known as he is, I still feel Wonderboy is criminally underrated by a lot of fans. Man can bang, and take some incredible headshots and keep going. Definitely going down as a legend on the game in the future. I can't wait to see him in the hall of fame 5-10 years from now.
I hit 100 subs on my channel, not too long ago. Gaining 100 subs isn’t a big deal to most, but it felt amazing to hit this milestone. Thank you very much for inspiring me to start a RUclips channel Martial. Hopefully one day I can fight against you and collab with you. But again, and most importantly, thank you for being a true inspiration
Lol the title couldn't be more true, in his last fight, Wonderboy dropped his opponent then when he got up, he touched his gloves in respect, then drops him again when opponent got up again, he touched his gloves again, lol
Yo, idk if you know this because it didnt really seem like it, but if u hold rt/r2 while being held in crucifix, you can flick your right stick to get back in side control like when ur in side saddle
Personally I haven’t had any issues throwing the side kick for real, when the game first came out it was impossible to time them but I found that the more you use it the better you are at placing it
My biggest problem with UFC games is how “rocking” your opponent works. Nothing dynamic happens, it’s just get rocked, block/evade until you’re not rocked. I know it’s hard to implement but irl fighters chicken leg and other things. I wish it was more dynamic when rocked.
Heyyy martial ik this is late but able the lead uppercut, lead hook combo...how can i get this in career mode??? Like is this a boxing combo or what?? I want this for my mike tyson character lol it makes sense thanks man. Great vid liked
A lot of this is reminding me we need a proper jiujitsu game built from the ground up. All jiujitsu, no striking, but something smooth and fun to control while still representing the near infinite states you can get into on the ground. From there and only from there we can start to work striking back into it. Not even Toribash feels quite right.
I'm getting pretty dangerous as a kickboxer, finding the range hitting that one two over and over and mixing in the leg and head kick, but my ground game is total garbage I admit I just don't get it… Any tips??
@@mobhouse5631 yeah the developers suck, we don’t have Geoff Neal, Marvin Vettori, Rob Font, Merab whatever the fuck his last name is he’s a bantamweight Matt Sera’s fighter, and Alexander Rakic. Especially Rakic since light heavyweight sucks in this game they don’t have half of the top fighters. All these top level fighters in the world not even in the game it’s a disgrace.
@Matthew Anthony why would you call out a mma fighter to have a boxing match? Makes no sense to me. It would be fun though if it was any Diaz brother vs that Paul guy, would be funny as hell
@Matthew Anthony of course you're not calling out anybody, i'm not talking about you. I agree if someone trains boxing many years they have a chance to beat a mma fighter, mainly grapplers or karate based or muay thai based strikers, and those used to handfighting and smaller guards(glove size), just like if you play basketball for 3 years you can probably beat a professional handball player. But why would you call out a handball player? If Jake Paul wants to be big he should fight actual boxers and maybe someday he can fight for a title, but boxing doesn't encourages winning so it's up to his ego.
I think Pettis knocking Wonderboy out was more on Wonderboy than Pettis. I think Wonderboy being the aggressor was awkward for him on top of a legitimate leg kicking gameplan from Pettis got him done in.
I use him a lot his head kick animation is hard to land out the gate , but if you work the body early and throw body kicks and switch in head kicks later he becomes nasty , his head kick comes out looking like a body kick until the last second ,
Martial: Wonderboy hands down the nicest guy on the roster
Robert Whittaker: You got that right, mate.
Who do you think Wonderboy beat for the NMF?
Stephen Thompson is easily one of the few fighters someone could present as a role model. That's saying something when it's your job to cause more bodily harm to someone than they can do onto you.
Stephen Thompson: *gets rocked and all bloodied up*
Also Stephen Thompson: *gives an applause* well done man
He did that tonight too while he embarrassed his opponent with meta level striking
That match against Lawler reminded me of when Diaz said " Oh so you're a wrestler now" to McGregor.

Shows you love while beating your ass lol
People forget that Stephen was GSP's secret weapon for years before Wonderboy made it to the UFC.
I’m rooting for Wonderboy!!!! THATS STILL MY BOYYYY
Heh hes actually weids brother in law that makes it even funnier.
Lol im weak
The dislike is from the chimaev guy

Wonderboy looked good tonight 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Bro the 2 side kicks he landed in the Luque fight were dope. He high fived him both times like lol you know I got your ass

It's July 2nd to be exact.
Oooh he's a Cancer. That's cool.
@@regissmith1601 If you believe in those signs then just stop..
Sounds like in order to fix sidekicks they'd have to address and probably rework hit/hurtboxes from the ground up

Been loving the content lately brotha keep it up! Also I’d love to fight u with my Diego Sanchez he’s one of my top 3 fighters in ufc 4
I seen the height disadvantage at the weigh ins. This should be interesting
Man you could actually be a fight announcer or analyst and I think you would be fantastic
I can never stuff the toe takedown, how do you do it consistently?
Wonderboy is the NMF champion of the world
Hey do you play on ps5 or x box series x
I don’t understand when they get into grappling why and how he spams the controls ?
Who you got, prime wonderboy vs adesanya? Catchweight at 177lbs
One of the most easily likeable fighters. Nice timing. Great vids.
I just beat the crap out of somebody with Wonderboy an hour before you posted this 😂 love the vid man
Martial is the saenchai of combat sport games.
Just wondering y don’t u throw much leg kicks?
Great vid martial, I roundhouse kicked that like button ✅
12:38 loool well played
Martial, why you are not playing on ps4 anymore?
Go the Anthony Pettis route, kick his legs early and often, then go after the head as the fight progresses, similar to what Shogun did to Machida too
250K soon!
I think I’ve only ever seen my man lose 2 or 3 fights in about 100 fights this guys unreal
I LOVED his side kick in ufc 3
We ask and martial provides. Keep up the great content bro.
Respectfully, UFC 3 Wonderboy can rest at ease now with how you gracefully displayed his inferior UFC 4 counterpart. Lol great video Martial.
Thanks a million brother.
Is Geoff Neal in the game? I’d be interested to see how well they did his stance cause it’s so unique
That 88 chin on wonder boy does not help either ...
Should be a lot higher. He's always had a good chin.
I think it's 89,but he deserve 94 chin imo! His chin is unreal!
He has great chin and heart too 👍
Machida for the true karate experience

I really like the new and improved Wonderboy these days. He's looser and much funnier. Talkin' shit about Steven Seagal is always good in my book 😄
I enjoyed UFC 3 and want to buy UFC 4 for Christmas but is it worth it?
Whenever a player tries to take me down all the time I do the same thing just pressure but then they spam clinch
You should do McGregor vs Poirer simulation
1hr after this vid was uploaded and I predict Wondeboy's gonna see this video.
Love your striking bro. That’s what I’m all about hopefully we can fight!!!!!
Lol i was just checking my notifications to see if Martial uploaded a new video
Kind of disappointed we didn’t get a wheel kick ko
