Summary: Marketed for the Bloodthirsty
Review: I loved the DVD, but it was definitely packaged for the bloodthirsty fans. I am a practitioner of martial arts and while some of the more technical groundfights may be boring for tourists and WWF fans who want to see a brawl, there is a lot of strategy and technique involved. Hits offers little of the technical fights and provides a ton of the nastiest, bloodiest fights the UFC has to offer.While most of the fights are just big brawls, they are still entertaining to watch. Some of the later fights featuring Belfort, Frye and Abbott show the values of cross training. One trick ponies don't get very far in the UFC. One big complaint is that the DVD advertises "multiple angle's", which isn't particularly accurate. There is one multiple angle fight in the special feature's from UFC 2, so don't expect to be able to switch the angle's around while you watch all those old fights. Won't happen. The one thing the UFC taught us is there aren't really superior martial arts so much as superior martial artists, and this DVD proves it.

Summary: Good but poorly presented and a little dull.
Review: If you like sweet knock outs this is a great dvd. BUT.. there is a but. The fights often set up too much for a knock out that takes 2 seconds. So you sit through 10 minutes of introductions and then one guy punches the other out in 10 seconds. The hits are great and there's some that are unvelievable but it gets repetative and dull. With the exception of a few really unique knock outs you can only watch a guy hit another guy so many times.
Also one huge drawback is all of the material is from very early in UFC. Which means its pretty well all amateurs and so the fights resemble drunken frenzies more than mixed martial arts matches. Anywho who really enjoys the UFC you catch today probably won't enjoy this as much.. I didn't.

Summary: Great compilation of bareknuckle vale tudo developement
Review: Lets go through that title again... a Great compilation of bareknuckle vale tudo developement... which means... Great - It is great, it's a very well selected compilation of interesting and action packed fights from the early ufc days. Bareknuckle - Yes, bareknuckles are still allowed in the UFC. Which makes for bloodier fights! If that's what you're into. I'm sure you probably would be a lot LESS enthusiastic if you were the fighter =) Vale Tudo - Portugese for without rules. This is no rules, this tape shows the early days of the UFC where contestants were allowed to do things that have now been outlawed. Such as hair pulling, headbutts and holding onto the cage. Developement - MMA fighting has devoloped since it's sudden discovery back in the early 90's in the continental US, and you will see towards the end of the tape, that as the UFC tournaments reached thier teens, all the fighters were cross trainers and most wore gloves to protect thier knuckles. Vale Tudo is still deveolping. ...So who are some of the fighters you're going to see? Well, of course you're going to see all the greats, Royce Gracie, Kimo Lepoldo, Mark Coleman, Tank Abbott, Vitor Belfort, Pedro Rizzo and more. ...And what kind of fights are you going to see? Not the boring ones! Which is why you should buy this great tape. I actually rate it 3.5/5, but hey, it's worth having anyway.

Summary: WWF No more...
Review: The first time I see this kind of fight was on video game with the same name. Until then, I've tried hopelessly to look for it in my country. No such luck! Until I bought it .... I can not believe that this kind of bloodsport do exist!! Although I am not a fighter at all,and I do not know any fighting discipline, it is a very entertaining sport to see.
And a lot of my colleages agree with me. We have a "new thing" to talk about. I believe this kind of sport will continue to grow. It enriches martial artists and entertains common people.

Summary: Not bad
Review: This DVD has many fights from the early UFC bouts. Some of these fights ended very fast because the fighters weren't very experienced at that time. I'm giving it 5 stars because of the devastating scenes, not because of the quality of the fights. These days, we can see that mixed-martial-artists have evolved to become well rounded with abilities to strike standing up and work submissions and strikes on the ground regardless of which discipline they came from. But the fighters in this DVD weren't well rounded. They stuck to their principles and got whooped for it! If you prefer watching seasoned fighters, I recommend Pride FC DVD's. The only disadvantage of watching seasoned fighters is that the bouts often become a chess match on the ground.

Summary: UFC RULES !
Review: This is a great, value-for-money purchase for the specific market niche UFC attracts, or martial artists and fight afficionados in particular. Featuring several of the best (but not necessarily the "top" best) fights in UFC history, UFC Hits 1 includes interviews with Frank Shamrock and Tito Ortiz as well as a multi-camera fight section. Included in this collection are fan-fave confrontations between the legendary Royce Gracie & Kimo, Dan Severn & Mad Dog Macias, Tank Abbot & Don Frye, Vitor Belfort & Scott Ferrozo, and Belfort & Abbot. From what originally seemed to be a showcase of Brazilian / Gracie jujitsu, the UFC has slowly evolved into a forum which proves that the "best" martial art is really, truly eclectic, and one needs the right combination of punching, kicking, trapping and grappling skills - along with luck and, of course, a fighting heart - to emerge victorious. And that no matter how well one performs, there will always be someone better. I highly recommend this DVD not only to the UFC fan but also to anyone interested in gaining even a superficial knowledge in realistic combat and in defending oneself - using the martial arts - under life-threatening conditions.

Summary: Well worth the money
Review: This is cheap as DVDs go but it is packed full of great scenes. If i remember this is 120 minutes and there isn't a lot of talking between matches. It just goes from one match to another. I don't follow UFC at all and i love this DVD.

Summary: Lets get in on!
Review: This video was pretty intense and at times it even made me cringe. It doesnt really feature the best fights, but more so the bloody one sided fights. Example, Pat Smith pummeling his elbow into some guys face, or Tank Abbott knocking somebody out cold. The selection of fights for this movie were good, though there was a few fights I think they missed. Another thing is that probably about half the fights are shown already in progress, which is all right if you just want see the endings of the fights. Showing some fights allready in progress also made more room on this approx. 2 hour tape for more fights. While I am reviewing this, I mine as well suggest you buy this video instead of the second volume. The second one isnt nearly as good, seems they used all their good footage for this one. As an avid UFC fan, I was pretty impressed overall with the contents of this video.
