This game rocks. I'm into my third card which will feature Dan Henderson vs Anderson Silva for the Middleweight crown. Some upsets along the way such as Brad "Friggin" Imes catching Josh Burnett with a ankle lock for a submission victory. Here's a sample result from my second PPV - The Light Heavyweight Title - Chuck Liddell vs Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Round 1- Rua gets early takedown but Lidell buck him off and stands up. Liddell punch. Kicks and knees by Rua followed with some more punches and knees and a takedown by Chuck - Round 1 - Rua 10-9 Round 2 - Rua flurry of kicks and punches knock Chuck down but he pops back up. Punch by Chuck and he goes for takedown but is kneed in the head. Cross by Liddell is blocked and Rua gets a takedown. Round 2 - Rua 10-9 Round 3 - Chuck Jab and thena lead hook and a takedown. Chuck tries to mount but Rua reverses to guard. Chuck escapes and tries a big punch and misses. He tries takedown and is again kneed to the head. Lidell connects with a punch and goes for a big shot and misses. Round 3 - 10-10 Round 4 - Liddell goe for the takedown once again and is kneed once again, Big John McCarthy stops the fight and the winner and Light Heavyweight Champion of the World Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.

I broke down and gave it a try. Not as easy as COTG to pick up quickly, but once you get through a couple of matches it's fine. They were very responsive, as I had the game in under two hours and e-mailed them a rules clarification question, and got a same day reply.
First few match results using three 5 minute rounds:
1. B.J. Penn KO Caol Uno (1:00 of Round 2)
2. Karo Parysian TKO Robbie Lawler (:30 of Round 3)
3. Anderson Silva TKO Ryo Chonan (2:30 of Round 3)
4. Tito Ortiz medical stoppage Wanderlai Silva (cut - 1:30 of Round 2)
5. Mirko Cro Cop KO Tim Sylvia (1:00 of Round 2)
Legends is still a bigger priority for me, but this will be a nice game to have around as well.

From what I have seen and heard, I think I will be getting this in the near future.
Thanks to all for your feedback and help (Havoc/ Dukedave, especially)

Just played a great Fedor vs. Ken Shamrock match.. The cards based on Shamrocks prime and it was a great fight. Fedor won round 1 by Shamrock won rounds 2-4 (including cutting Fedor in rd 3).. Then to come and start round 5 Fedor came out with a big combo and put kenny down!

OK, I am done with the game. I just had CroCop defend the Heavyweight title against Sylvia and CroCop won when he reached into Timmay's chest and pulled out his heart and showed it to him (even though he fights like he doesn't have one). Just didn't seem realistic to me.
OK, seriously, CroCop won with a Left High Kick KO in the first round.

Yeah still having a great time with this game. Just did a very exciting Matt Lindland vs. Rich Franklin 5 round draw.. Normally I hate draws in fights but that just bulids more excitement for the rematch.
I'd say the only complete shocker I had so far was Yves Edwards taking out Gomi in 30 seconds with a big kick.
Haven't gotten to crowning champion yet but will do that sometime.

Looks really good! Definately tempting.. now to decide whether I should pick this up or play some APBA baseball... My family has some APBA fanatics. This does look interesting though.

Got a run with New Beginnings but haven't got back into it. Ran about sixteen 8 match cards though and will probably get going again soon.
