Land strikes to the body to drain your opponent&#39;s Body Health. When fully drained your opponent will suffer a body knockdown. Body Health can recover during the fight and between rounds but at a slower rate than Head Health.

Body Damage


Leg Damage recovers the slowest of all damage types. Hitting your opponeng with Leg Kicks can easily cause a Leg Health Event once enough kicks are landed, but don&#39;t overuse Leg Kicks as it is also very easy to Check a Leg Kick (See Striking Defense - Checking Leg Kicks).

Leg Damage


Damage will recover automatically to a threshold at a pace which is affected by your Recovery attribute. The threshold is affected by the amount of health events or damage your fighter has sustained. If this threshold is very low, your fighter is susceptible to being KO&#39;d or TKO&#39;d.

UFC 5 Recovering Damage

Recovering Damage


If Block Damage starts racking up, use head movement or create distance to avoid some of the strikes thrown at you. This will also create opportunities to catch your opponent in a vulnerable position to counter-strike.

UFC 5 Avoiding Block Damage

Avoiding Block Damage


Land strikes to the head to drain your opponent&#39;s Head Health. When fully drained your opponent will be knocked down. The damage you inflict on that final blow, relative to how much health your opponent has left will determine the severity of the knockdown. Head Health recovers automatically when your fighter can avoid head strikes.

UFC 5 Head Damage

Head Damage


Each Head Health event will make future health events more likely and more severe. If you get rocked multiple times on your feet, it might be wise to switch up your gameplan away from striking.

UFC 5 Health Events

Health Events


Block Damage accumulates the more strikes you block in a row. Blocking multiple frontal strikes will leave you open to round strikes and vice-versa. The reduction in Block strength is controlled by your Blocking attribute.
