Good game - A few points

My very last fight (40) was fighting Overeem for the unification of the belts between Mystic and Strikeforce. Is this always the case for your last fight, if you're the champion that is? It was a cool touch but the game didn't save after my last bout and it doesn't look like you can manually save it.
Really tight on the 40 fight limit. I'm fighting a guy with 80 fights under his belt ffs. I hope EA makes another game regardless of the starting roster and UFC taking over Strikeforce etc. I can just imagine the positive changes they could make on their next effort.
I went through a couple half careers and settled on Sambo based on some information here. I think I waited too long to max out his chin and blocking stats, but still ended up with an unstoppable submission machine. Weak chin is my only problem, I lost three fights by flash KO, and lost a couple to neck subs before I maxed them at 89.
I really expected to fight more of the fighters from the game during my career. I felt like most of my fights were against EA created fighters.
Here is some info in case anyone needs it. Based on my Sambo career, which gyms open up which training sessions.
