Each character has their own fighting personality; that is to say that each person moves, weaves and reacts differently than the other characters which gives each of them a life of their own.
On a more personal note, as a practitioner of Jiu-jitsu, I was personally surprised at how well defined and accurate each move and counter was.
While I personally would use moves banned by the UFC's rules it retained a very wonderful realism that is hard to counter.
