UFC 5 Submission Defense Tips & tricks

Successful submissions will drain the defender's Submission Resilience meter. If the meter is not fully depleted, the defender will be forced into a Desperate Escape. If meter is fully depleted, the defender will tap and lose the fight. The meter is damaged according to Submission Offense vs Submission Defense attributes, stamina difference between the fighters, and the Strength of the specific submission being used.

You can attempt to escape out of a submission using ^RSRL^. Escapes are often quicker than the opponent's ability to finish the submission, but can be denied by the attacker.
