How to Slam on UFC 4

There are over half a dozen ways to take your opponent down in UFC 4, it ultimately depends how you prefer to do it.

The most reliable takedowns depend on the stats of the fighter that you are using, however the single leg and double leg takedowns are normally automatic when they're well-timed.

The most satisfying takedown to do that actually slams your opponent, are the Power Single leg takedown and the Power Double Leg takedown.

Below, we discuss what button combination to do to perform each type of takedown.

Single Leg Takedown

All of these controls are done with a fighter that stands in an Orthodox stance (left foot forward, right foot back).

This means that if your fighter stands in Southpaw (the opposite stance), it will be the opposite punch hand.

From the Clinch

It's important to know that the takedowns below this section can only be done when your fighter is in the clinch.

You are still able to do all of the takedowns mentioned prior to this section, in the clinch.

In order to get your opponent in the clinch, get close to your opponent and hit:

  • RB + X (Lightly tap X, if you don't lightly tap it it will throw a big punch instead) - In orthodox stance

If you hit RB + A while making your opponent move backwards (moving the left stick towards them), this take down will become an inside trip.
