UFC 3 Roster and Ratings: Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight
by 
With just a week to go until EA Sports UFC 3 goes out through EA Access on Xbox One the publisher continues the reveal of the full fighter roster and their respective ratings. First up were the flyweights and bantamweights. Now on to featherweights, lightweights, welterweights and middleweights.
UFC 3 is changing up the ratings with four overarching categories: Striking, Grappling, Stamina and Health. Previously fighters were ranked on Ground, Stand-up, and Clinch. As was the case with the first two games the ratings are exceedingly top heavy. Presumably separation comes from sub-attributes as the lowest number given to a fighter in any category is 82.Â
