Creative Director Brian Hayes gives his advice when it comes to blocking in EA SPORTS UFC 3. 

When your opponent is viciously attacking you, your first instinct will be to block, which is smart. However, your block can be broken down if you take too much damage. This is indicated in the block meter in the top corner of your screen.

To break out of an attack, you can't just rely on your blocking. Use your footwork, switch your stance, or use your own offense to create your damage.

If you're trying to break down your opponents block, throw combinations or focus on one area of your opponent. To find these combinations, click pause and go to the game help screen. Each fighter has a variety of different combinations that you can throw.
