Takedowns are a great way to get in some serious damage inEA SportsUFC 4, and indeed there are a variety of different ones that players can perform during their matches.

Fortunately, fans should find it fairly easy to get their ground game going with just a bit of instruction, which can be found here.

How to Defend Against Takedowns in UFC 4
After learning how to takedown in thisnew MMA fighting gamefrom EA Sports, some players will want to move on to takedown defense, which is quite simple at its core. More specifically, fans just need to hold LT + RT on Xbox One and L2 + R2 on PS4 to deny a takedown, and working on this in practice mode is a great way to lock down the correct timing.
That said, things get slightly more complicated if aUFC 4playeris late on hitting these inputs, as they will then be required to press the left joystick in the direction that is counter to the takedown. This is demonstrated in the video featured above, and it is again something that fans will need to spend some time practicing before they have it mastered.
