Summary: Some classic displays of athleticism, skill, and heart!
Review: As a dabbler in mixed martial arts myself, I love getting the oppportunity to see different fighters try their skills in a one on one, (almost)anything goes environment. I've seen most of the early UFC's, but due the current cable ban, I'm unfamiliar with most of the more recent ones. This DVD is a great collection of some of the best fights of the more recent UFC's. Although not all of the fights are shown in their entirety, there are some classic moments. The Tito Ortiz vs. Guy Mezger rematch is great, if not for the utter domination Ortiz shows at the end, then for the confrontation between Ortiz and Mezger's trainer, Ken Shamrock after the bout. The Tito Ortiz vs. Frank Shamrock fight alone is worth 5 stars for the unbelievable action and skill displayed by these two. A definate must for anyone into martial arts, fighting, boxing, WHATEVER. Get this!

Summary: Kinda sucks, only 2 good fights.
Review: Disappointing. The Bas Rutten vs. Tsuyoshi Kosaka is good, just because I like Bas. Steven Judson vs. Brad Kohler a good one, Brad Kohler knocks Steven Judson out cold, with one right hook kinda punch right to the head, and then Steven Judson flops kinda lifeless to the ground. Every other fight was disappointing; they just circle around batting jabs at each other, or the just lay on top of each other for the whole time. The announcers get really annoying, right from the beginning. And they don't show the whole fights, they cut in like 9 min into it, or skip a middle part. There are 12 fights all together, but I wouldn't recommend this, because even the Bas Rutten fight isn't that great. Maybe Vol.1 is better I don't know.

Summary: Very good, hopefully just the start of UFC DVD's!
Review: Finally SEG has listened to the demand and has released the UFCon DVD. Unfortunately, its the the whole tournaments, but instead aGreatest Hits DVD. Well, its a start. Maybe if the demand is stong on these, they will start to release the individual tournaments. This compilation features a classic Tito Ortiz vs. Jerry Bohlander bout. This fight was one to be seen. The rivalry between The Huntington Beach Bad Boy and The Lion's Den was just starting to get HOT at this point. Also features the Pedro Rizzo vs. Tank Abbott match. This is a great match that has a nice finish (must see to believe...no spoilers from me!) There are just way too many matches to talk about! Please pick this DVD up. Great way to learn about the UFC and mixed martial arts, or to relive the memories! END

Summary: This video sucks compared to volume 1!
Review: I bought this video full well knowing that it wasn't gonna be as good as the first one, but it was worst than I thought! The video's only redeeming features are the Shamrock Ortiz fight and maybe the first few fights, but after that, it becomes a snoozefest. If you like non stop action, this probably isn't for you. If you like watching fights where people are on their backs or held against a fence for 80% of the fight, then by all means, pick this one up.

Summary: Great battles. KO's and SUBMISSION. It has it all!
Review: If you enjoyed watching UFC hits volume 1, i expect you will get a good time by watching this DVD. The fights on this DVD are somewhat different than the ones that can be seen on UFC hits 1. The other reviewers of this DVD also mentioned this. What i especially like about this DVD, is that most of the fights shown lasted longer than the fight on UFC hits 1. You can watch the complete match of Frank Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz. That means more than 15 minutes of action. What an athlete Shamrock is. I am a great fan of the fighting style of Marco Ruas and for that reason find it great to see Pedro Rizzo representing the Ruas Vale Tudo style. Especially the match against the vicious 'Tank' Abbott in Ultimate Brazil.
There are som extra features on this dvd that are worth mentioning. The multi-angle kamera fight of Orlando Weit is one that you should not forget to watch.
Also the interview with Bas Rutten is quit interesting. He tells the viewer that in highschool he was't a popular guy at all and he had astma. A while ago he had a reunion and met his old classmates and they all turned out to be losers in a bad physical shape. He got the microphone and asks if there are persons who still wanted to fight with him. Great guy, Bas Rutten. Also a great fight can be seen on this dvd with this former King of Pancrase.
Interesting fights with KO's as well as submissions. A great DVD.

Summary: Continuation of MMA Evolution..
Review: If you love the sport of MMA or the UFC promotion in itself...this is a great DVD. Some people wont like it compared to UFC Hits vol.1 cause the UFC became a sport and left the toughman tournaments behind. But I think this DVD is a great showcase of fighting techniques. Just as volume 1 left off showing the evolution UFC was making. Another great thing for some people is this DVD has several Tito Ortiz fights, Tito was one of the big reasons why UFC survived through the rough period of MMA in the Unite States. Last 5 fights are complete. 2 bonus fights from UFC 2 have multi-angles. My only problem with this DVD is that a few matches are dull to the point of wondering why they put them on here for any reason. a few fights lack any technique or movement. But its only a few. And its still a 4 star DVD. Great companion to Volume 1.

Summary: A lot for your money
Review: If you watch Hits 1 & 2 back to back, it's like watching the evolution of MMA tournaments. The first DVD contains quick bloody brawls with lopsided matchups. As the DVD progresses, the opponents become more diverse and the fights become a lot more that simple brawls or 1 minute knockouts.The fights in Hits 2 are far more technical and the opponents are more evenly matched. Some spectators might complain that these fights are boring compared to the ones in Hits 1, others may complain that the rules have changed for the worse, making "No Hold Barred" a thing of the past. I think Hits 2 is equally enjoyable, just... different. There isn't the mad adrenaline we saw in the first... but there's a lot of strategy. The new breed of MMA fighters draw their talents and skills from a lot of tools, and althought the matches are quick, they take their time and utilize their enrgy more efficiently. So, if you want the nasty fights, be sure to buy Hits 1. If you want to see strategy, get this one. If you're a big fan, you'll get both.

Summary: Painfully Awesome! Great Video!
Review: Imagine all of the best moments and best fights in UFC history, and now imagine them all on one tape. (Or on one DVD in some cases.) I love the UFC. It's very good stuff. Painful to watch at times, but still very awesome. The cool thing about this is that all of the long moments of fights were nothing is really going on are taken out. You're taken to the beginning of a fight, or to one that's already in progress, making sure that you only see the best. Great fighters in this one. You get to see Tank Abbott, Tito Ortiz, Steve Judson, Mark Coleman, and many, many more. It's pretty long too, about 118 minutes. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I'll have to check out Vol. 1 when I get the chance. Very nasty and brutal knock-outs included. Brutal submissions. Intense competition. And yes, the very popular confrontation between Tito and Ken Shamrock after one of the matches. Wow....Tito not a very good sport, I guess. He just gave Shamrock the "Steve Austin" gesture! If you love the UFC, buy this now! I recommend that you see the actual full length events that are available on tape to fully appreciate this, but this is a great companion, and great for when you only want to see the best of the best. A very worthy purchase, or at least I thought it was.
