Creative Director Brian Hayes gives his tips for success when it comes to striking in EA SPORTS UFC 3.

When striking, you can attack your opponent's head, body, or legs – each of which has its own health meter. The more damage you do to a region over a short period of time, the more likely you are to create a health event like a stun, knock down, or knockout.

However, it's not as simple as throwing as many strikes as you can. Your fighter has a stamina meter that will be depleted every time you throw a strike. The bigger the strike, the more stamina your fighter will lose. Missing strikes will also cost a lot more than landing them. The lower your stamina, the less damage you will cause, and the more damage you will take.
