![]() Is that just because you're trying to avoid the judge's negative view of being on bottom? IGN: We don't often see you in the guard. But Jon Fitch is right, if you're on the bottom in your closed guard you're gonna be losing by decision for sure. But I definitely think you can use the closed guard. It doesn't matter what the guy on the bottom does. If you've got the better takedowns, you're gonna be on the guy. Because, you know, the way the rules are set, the rules are set for whoever has the better takedowns. I guess if you're in the closed guard you either gotta go for a submission or go for a sweep, or get back to your feet. ![]() Penn: I think I remember hearing some people talk about that. Obviously you're a big Jiu Jitsu guy, how do you feel about the statement? IGN: Jon Fitch recently made the controversial statement that "the closed guard is dead" in MMA. Any time I go against any good guys they just trash me down, they end up submitting me and stuff. Honestly, I haven't played it much to get that good. I've played the first Undisputed a couple of times, I'm not very good but I'll use Brock and try to smash people. A couple of guys came over to shoot the marketing video for it, and we were hanging out and talking about the game. Did you give them any feedback on last year's game? IGN: We heard you've spent some time with the game's development team. IGN: Is THQ giving you a really good rear naked choke? They should. They said it's going to be a big difference. I haven't seen anything, but yeah I heard the grappling flows a lot smoother, you can fight in the clinch, and a bunch of different things. You're gonna have right handed fighters and left handed fighters. ![]() Penn: I was talking to a couple people from I guess THQ and they said the new game's gonna be much better. Rich Franklin, a natural southpaw, fought as a right-handed fighter, and anyone with Jiu Jitsu as his grappling style could use rubber guard, even though he might not use it in real life. IGN: In last year's UFC game, there wasn't much variation between the fighters. ![]() IGN: Have you played UFC Undisputed 2010? What'd you think about the last game?īJ Penn: I haven't gotten a chance to play the 2010 game, but I did play the first UFC Undisputed. ![]()
