Silva has high aggression and the most aggressive db as well. Based on my tuning so far, even W. Silva now balances stamina recuperation more in between bouts of high aggression. Machida is much more elusive unless he is losing (ramping up over the course of the fight)

So here is part 1 of my aggression ratings. They are based on 1) the number of total strikes averaged in 3 and 5 round fights using FightMetric stats. 2)The amount a fighter goes forward and strikes first versus relying on counter punching and backwards movement and 3) Personal opinion.

They are based on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being Machida and 10 being Wanderlei. Here are the HW and LHW ratings. More to come later. Let me know your thoughts.

HW

Pat Barry – 3
Travis Browne – 4
JDS – 8
Mark Hunt – 6
Frank Mir – 4
Roy Nelson -4
Big Nog - 3
Overeem -5
Cain – 9
Werdum -7

LHW

Bader – 7
Cormier – 7
Machida – 1
Davis – 6
Evans – 4
Gustaffson – 8
Jones – 7
Liddell – 6 or 7 (Had trouble with this one. Chuck is primarily a counter puncher but when he pushes forward too and when he swarms fires off a ton of punches/.)
Mousasi – 2
Little Nog – 5
Shogun Rua – 6
Wanderlei – 10
Chael – 6
Glover - 7

I agree with all, but as someone who is a big Chael fan, I think he may be a little too low. He isn't aggressive like Wanderlei, but he is always moving forward and trying to work the takedown and he often takes the centre of the octagon very quickly.

Good point. I'm trying to avoid having Chael throw tons of strikes while moving forward but I think we should move him up to 5.

This is a rumor based on nothing solid but the next three DLC fighters may be Anthony Johnson, Matt Brown and Tim Kennedy. No release date and like I said I dont have any solid info confirming it so take it as a rumor.

If this rumor proves to be true, that is a solid three for sure.

That would be awesome if true.

Honestly, since the next game isn't going to come out for two years, then the best way to stay relevant is through roster updates and patches. They can't afford to stay out of the spotlight too long especially with Madden around the corner, so (IMO) as soon as one fighter pack is released they need to announce the next one within the next two weeks. If not, people will lose interest.

I think they actually did a really good job with the first patch... Heck, I actually have a co-worker who I played a ton of UFC 3 with (and NCAA /Madden) that has been adamant about not making the jump to next gen, that came in my office the day after the patch and was asking all kinds of questions. For guys like him, this games improvement could be a system seller.

For me if tweak the things that the devs have been asking about in this thread, then we could have a really good game. My only gripes after that would be keeping the rosters up-to-date by adding fighters and updating (ratings and weight classes) for current fighters.

I'm looking forward to more news...

edit: Oh and I like what you're doing so far, aholbert32. I can't really disagree with any of your aggression ratings so far.
