Players can choose from a roster of popular UFC fighters of the era, each possessing unique stats and fighting styles. The control system utilizes the Game Boy Color's buttons to execute punches, kicks, grapples, and submissions. The A and B buttons are typically used for basic attacks, while combining them with the D-pad allows for more complex moves or movement actions.
Gameplay focuses on timing and choosing appropriate attacks. Players need to learn how to defend, evade opponent's strikes, and seek opportunities to counter-attack or perform takedowns and submissions. Once an opponent is on the ground, players can attempt a submission hold to finish the match. The success of a submission often depends on the player correctly executing a button sequence or the opponent's quick reaction time.
The game features modes such as "Championship," where players must defeat multiple opponents to win the championship belt, and "Exhibition," which allows players to set up quick matches. The graphics on the Game Boy Color, though simple with 2D sprites, are sufficient to represent the fighters and combat animations. Sound effects and background music are also optimized for the system's capabilities, setting the atmosphere for the matches.
