KO Mode was added in "UFC 2" as a simplified way to play that keeps the action on the feet, with a designated number of landed strikes leading to a guaranteed knockout. It was considered one of the best new features introduced in sports games that year and acted as a showcase for the improved knockout physics. 

"EA Sports UFC 3" releases Jan. 30 for those who purchase the $80 special edition and Feb. 2 for the standard $60 edition. It's available to play now on Xbox One for subscribers to EA Access. The game is putting a focus on fight promotion and rivalries for its career mode.
