Those who prefer to wrestle or submit their opponents with Brazilian jiu-jitsu should rejoice, as the newground fighting mechanics in are arguably the most realistic grappling mechanics a game has ever had. Previously, in, when a submission was initiated, it would begin a mini-game that would have each combatant rotate the thumbsticks or hit the controller bumpers to finish off and defend against the attempt. In, this has been completely overhauled, with the mini-game being removed completely in favor of more realistic countering, transitions, and stamina-based grappling.
This same thought process can be seen across the game in several ways, including initiating special takedowns in the clinch and denying ground transitions. While previously those techniques required special button presses, now one action more naturally flows into another, requiring a combination of buttons to be hit with the right timing to pull off the move. This more advanced approach even extends to aspects of striking, as rotating kicks and punches, like the spinning back fist — must be initiated first, then finished with a different button.

This meter is separate from stamina but is affected by it, as more tired fighters will have a harder time denying transitions and submission attempts.
Spamming transitions on the ground will quickly drain stamina, leaving characters vulnerable to submissions.
