The clinch denial animation is perfect for this.
Pushing would be nice for those that stand an inch from you blocking and trying to parry. Teep kicks should also push people away, like the body hit stun action that sometimes happens. Teeps are meant to push and keep distance, this game they're basically useless

head movement and slipping strikes are different things.

Yup this is another thing that annoys me...the teeps. They litterally do nothing except leave you open for your opponent to get free strikes.

Constantly moving your head and keeping it off the center line is one thing, slipping strikes is something else.

Maybe...
You sure smaller fighters with less reach wont get fully bullied as distance control is the key thing here?

Have some plans for that, but this is a good example of where gameplay requirements can interfere with plans.

Like I said, TBD.

I'm closing in on 1,500 submission wins in ranked and I hope I can still play that way in UFC 3.

Can you atleast make me feel better GPD and say that the ground game is getting some love.

You move your head to slip. And roll your shoulder but that still involves head movement

Won't know for sure until the game is done.
I just hope new movement and distance control doesn't influence (more) running.

Would you rather have "runners" who choose their shots and fight or would you rather have the tekken combos we see right now?

Head movement really shouldnt be #1 on priority for defense. There is a reason we dont see tons of head movement in mma(compared to boxing) and that is because knees and kicks to the head. That's why muay thai and kickboxer stances are so far up and their heads often stagnant.

EDIT: i would like to clarify head movement should be strong if used correctly but it should come at a risk. Leaning into a head kick or knee is a death sentence in mma. Ilir latifi vs bader and nate diaz loss vs thompson come to mind

This.

I'm hoping they can find a balance but I would rather have a game where someone can use movement and distance to win a fight than having to rely on pressure and combos as the sole way to win.

It might be hard to accomplish, but head movement and distance management should feel very fluid when working together. Good boxers and counter strikers use head movement for much more than dodging punches. When you watch a masvidal or dominick cruz at their best you see a lot of head movement to not only close distance but to get out as well. Id love to be able to do a little bobing and weaving in throw a quick punch or 2 create an angle and get out. Fighting in UFC 2 is very left and right. You cant really create angles and any head movement means you are stuck in place. If i cam figure out how to attach a GIF i can show specific examples unless GIF king Haz can do it for me lol

And for the love of God, please dont let people just lean back and avoid every strike lol. I don't even think an example is necessary but Silva vs Sonnen should be more than enough. In ufc2 the lean back is just crazy.

This. Another thing they need to fix too is back dashing magically shortening incoming punches and back dashing and leaning back working even when your back is against the cage. If your back is against the cage how are you even able to back dash, let alone avoid my strike with it? Same with leaning back.
