Honestly it's the biggest complaint I have about EA UFC 5, and trust me, I could write several pages about things in this game that frustrate me. I get so tired of every fight playing out like a Rocky movie. It's rare that fighters get knocked down multiple times in a fight, let alone are able to jump right back up 1 second after they were laid out. When they get knocked down they should be on the mat much longer before they are able to get up. And once they do get back up they should be unsteady on their feet, wobbly legs, still feeling the effects of the knockdown. And if they can't fix this issue with UFC 6, they should drop the whole "As Real As It Gets" moniker.
