Summary: Teeth knocked out, sprays of blood. THERE ARE NO RULES!
Review: "So far this event has been fast and furious. I did not see any discipline at work, i just saw swinging". These are the words you hear when you start watching this DVD. They very well stress the character of this DVD. On this DVD you can watch the most brutal and toughest fights from the first events of the UFC. If you like wrestling or becomes enthousiatic when a fighter wins by a leg/arm lock or like chokes, you won't like a lot of the fights on this DVD. There is some action of that kind, but most of the fights show great knockouts, (with bare knuckle fist and in later events with gloves with open fingers), elbows to the back of the head (for example Paul Varelans vs. Cal Worsham) and the most effective low kicking (watch Marco Ruas vs Paul Varelans). You wil also get familiair with 'Tank' Abbott. Telling that he is not really a nice guy is a very big understatement.
The only thing that i regret with respect to this DVD, is the fact that from a few fight only the 'action' in overtime is shown. For example, the Maurice Smith versus Marc Coleman fight is historical in UFC history, but in overtime almost nothing happened. You can see that Coleman is 'out of gas' but how Smith puts Coleman in that position is not shown. They should have shown the action in this fight and from the end of the fight just the judges decision.
If you are an MMA fan and you have missed a lot of action of the first 16 UFC events, i would recommend this DVD to you.

Review: A good mixture of fights a real must have for Vitor, and Tank fans. There are a few dodgy ones, but on the whole a great representation of what MMA is all about.

Summary: This DVD was very exciting to watch!
Review: Because this DVD starts with UFC 1 and ends somewhere around UFC 14, you will see the awesome progression of skills now required by UFC-to-be fighters of today.The early fights are mostly brawlers duking it out. Kempo Karate proved to be the primary skill that was the winner. As time went on, guys with sportive wrestling skills dominated the octagon complimented by decent boxing skills. By the time the DVD gets to the final 30 minutes you will see the majority of fighters using either wrestling, jiu jitsu, or boxing (or a combo of these) as their primary weapons. This DVD is a lot of fun! It's exciting and unpredictable. I would like to emphasize on one particular fight that was outstanting but there were many. I like watching the Vitor Belfort fights and the Tank Abott fights, but there are plenty of great fights here! A+

Summary: Nantucket Jiggleblows all around!
Review: Ever seen a fool get his eyeball kicked out of his friggin head? How about watching a man get punched in the temple consecutively over 20 times and drain blood like a broken water faucet? No? That's probably because you've been watching the wrong sports. This DVD is absolutely brutal. If you've got a weak stomach you won't make it past the first fight. If you don't you'll love this bad piece from beginning to end. People being punched out, kicked out, bowed out, choked out...aw man, it's just maliciously beautiful. With this you won't see any of those long boring Gracie "Ho-hum, I want to arm bar you." fights. This is straight to the point. Hit play...and HE'S UNCONSCIOUS, HE'S OUT, HE'S OUT! I'd recommend watching this with your significant other and when you see Tank Abbott absolutely mangle John Matua and have him sprawled whilst seizing and locking up say "The next time you act a fool, the Tank Abbott hammer-blow is gonna rain down on you like that." This is the party flick of the ages. If you like raw, passionate, angry, just...apocalyptic violence on humans by humans than you MUST own this. Buy now or you'll be visited by me and I will promptly knock you out with a Vitor Belfort Matrix-style Neo barrage attack like the one administered to Vanderlei Silva.

Summary: Knockout! Must have MMA DVD...
Review: Excellent DVD...highlights UFC fights from its debut to UFC 16 and it does a great job of showing the evolution of the UFC and fight styles. Shows how their was at a time, just about no rules, the referee's were poor and missed tapouts and waited too long to stop fights. Groin shots, headbutts, Hair pulling all legal, and over time, they slowly evolved into more of a sport. I like MMA, I like old and new UFC. But I think this is a great introduction to fans of the sport of MMA plain and simple. Many of the fights are short and complete...some of the longer ones are either clipped or are shown in progress. But by doing that it can give people a more complete scope of what UFC was and what it was turning into. From a very dangerous tough man contest to a sweet science style combat sport. A+ Check it out

Summary: Hand to Hand Combat
Review: For great Martial Arts action buy this video. UFC is a full contact tournament with many different styles competing in one goal, to win by a knockout or a submission. Only downfall of this sport is that there aren't many punchers or kickers to make the fights interesting. The winners are usually grapplers who takes their opponents down on the mat to make them submit. Not to say grappling isan't an effective style, but realistically in real fights when your out numbered your not going to be able to perform an arm bar or a choak hold, because opponent's friends aren't going to just stand there and watch. I have yet to see a fighter with a good kicking or punching technique in UFC, only good grapplers like Gracie and Severn. Overall it's the next best thing to seeing a real combat without so many different rules. So if your into Martial Arts or just fighting, you'll enjoy this video.
