Neither boxing nor wrestling: Nor kickboxing nor cage fighting nor judo nor tiddlywinks, precisely.
It's mixed martial arts, which has the showmanship of pro wrestling but the physical ferocity of the other sports combined.
Huge in America.
The Octagon: Not just Dunedin's city centre but the name of the eight-sided ring in which UFC fighters, er, fight.
It's also a cage.
Who's who: I'll be impressed if you've heard of Antoni Hardonk, Heath Herring, Cain Velasquez or Mirko Cro Crop.
Brock Lesnar appears after previously being in the WWE.
Authentic bits: Sponsors, announcers, referees, ring girls and cutmen.
The good: Simple tutorial allows you to pick up the basics quickly.
Graphics are clean and gameplay is as good as most close-contact games.
The bad: Who are these characters? And what is this sport? Lacks appeal to the common gamer.
And even those who like a bit of a biff will find it difficult
