* = A Move List that is currently incomplete

do a move list yet. If you would like to help with one of those characters 
please go to their section for details.

1. Intro
=======================================================================
This is my FAQ for the recently released UFC Throwdown for the Nintendo 
Gamecube. In this FAQ I will provide move lists for each original & 
(eventually) secret character. If you would like to help out by sending me a 
move list for one of the secret characters that I don't have, go to that 
character's section for details. 

For my review of this game go to:

NOTE: I play my game with the L, R & Z buttons doing the opposite command 
that they are set to do at the beginning so I may accidently refer to them 
like that in this FAQ. If you see one of those mistakes please e-mail me & 
point it out.

=======================================================================
2. Revision History
=======================================================================

Version 3.75 -January 5, 2003: Added the only response I got to the side step 
moves question & one new question that gets asked on the message board a lot 
to the FAQ's section. I have not had the time to do any new move lists lately 
but I should have some time on my exam break from school & I hope to finish 
up all the move lists that I possibly can. On a side note, I watched the UFC 
Vendtta show & I must say that in my opinion it was a great show. Even though 
most of the matches were rather short they were still good.

Version 3.5 - September 10, 2002: Added Move Lists for Eugene Jackson, Dave 
Menne, Frank Shamrock & Bruce Buffer. I also added a question to the FAQ 
section, the note at the beginning of the FAQ & 2 new websites that this FAQ 
can be found on.

Version 3.0 - August 27, 2002: Added Move Lists for Kevin Randleman, Elvis 
Sinosic & Evan Tanner plus the stats for Bruce Buffer & Lorenzo Fertitta. I 
am also going to submit this to gamefaqs for the first time.

Version 2.5 - August 26, 2002: Added Move Lists for Vitor Belfort, Chuck 
Liddell & Tito Ortiz. I also added the list of career mode diciplines, rating 
submission info & the sparring opponents list.

Version 2.0 - August 13, 2002: Added Move Lists for Marco Ruas, Bas Rutten, 
Dan Severn, Maurice Smith & Pete Williams. I also finished the stats for each 
original fighter.

Coleman, Tsuyoshi Kosaka, Pedro Rizzo & Ricco Rodriguez.
