Playing UFC 5 actually improved my Muay Thai

Don’t knock it till you try it, try out the stand and bang game mode, you actually get rewarded with having good fight iq. Things like distance, ring position, mixing in fakes, level changing, and cool combos are rewarded in the game mode and I see myself genuinely improving in my sparring after getting good at the game because I’m more aware of these different aspects of striking. Yeah it’s still a game so there are some pretty stupid stuff that people can do, but you can have technical matches going against someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
