Modern Mixed Martial Arts was born out of the desire to find the most effective form of unarmed combat in the world.  Practitioners of various styles and techniques challenged one another in “no holds barred” tournaments in an attempt to find the ultimate fighting art. What was discovered after years of these events was that no single technique or style dominated all others.

Over time, a new breed of fighter began to emerge: a fighter who understood that being well rounded in many forms of combat allowed him to compete against any challenger and against any technique. The days of trying to find the ultimate fighting style are over... today is about finding the ultimate fighter!

UFC® 2009 Undisputed allows you to become the ultimate mixed martial arts combatant, by combining techniques from the most brutal and effective fighting arts ever devised!  Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai techniques elevate videogame striking arts to new levels, as fighters deliver slick combos, vicious head kicks, and crushing knees and elbows.  Wrestling, Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu utilize powerful shoots and slams, elegant trips and brilliantly technical submissions to put a fighter on the ground, dominate him while there and end the fight in dramatic fashion.

Boxing – Boxers have the widest variety of punches and utilize feints, combos and counter punching to wear down opponents before delivering crushing, match ending strikes.  In UFC 2009 Undisputed, this translates into a very effective striking style that is most effective from medium range, where a boxer has the opportunity to fully extend his punches for maximum power. Body punching and short, crisp uppercuts are still quite effective, however, if forced to fight in close.

Kickboxing – Kickboxers integrate potent punching and a wide variety of kicks to the legs, body and head with flashy but effective attacks, such as spinning backfists and spin kicks. Kickboxers are the best range fighters and can keep opponents at bay with vicious head kicks that can end a fight instantly.

Muay Thai – Thai boxers are masters of in close fighting and can deliver knees and elbows with game ending power. The Muay Thai clinch (or “plum”) is a unique technique available only to Muay Thai practitioners that nullifies an opponent’s offense while allowing the delivery of game-ending knees to the head and body.

Wrestling – Wrestling is all about controlling opponents through sheer technique and power. Wrestlers are dominant, on-top grapplers and can force opponents into very dangerous situations, creating openings for the brutal ground and pound game. If an opponent is not already on the ground, a wrestler can help him get there by levying a wide range of bone-jarring slams.

Judo – Judo practitioners are never at a disadvantage in a clinch situation and can trip or throw opponents to the ground with startling ease. Once there, Judo practitioners have a wide variety of submissions and transitions with which to control their opponents.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – BJJ artists are masters of the ground game and are equally comfortable fighting from the top or bottom. Utilizing impressive techniques such as the rubber guard, BJJ artists can pull and lock in submissions from almost any position. Masters of BJJ turn disadvantage into advantage by capitalizing on any small mistake in an opponent’s ground game.
