Summary: Weaker than the previous 2 UFC's
Review: After the 2 pevious UFC events, which were great, this one (UFC 45: Revolutions) is a let down. The only fights that I enjoyed were the Huges-Trigg match (the closest to a pure freestyle wrestling match that I have seen in MMA, both fighters very well matched) and the Lindland-Vitale rematch. Some people find Lindland boring because he cannot finish, but in fact he is extremely active in his fights, setting up a work rate that exhausts his opponents. The Baroni-Tanner match had a horrible ending - I hate when a bad referee messes up a match. Cabbage-Tank was entertaining but short - one of the fighters wimped out and let the fight be stopped. Lawler-Lytle had a controversial decison ( I would have given it to the other guy), also Lawler refused to engage for most of the fight, retreating to lure Lytle into attack mode and make it a slugging contest, something Lawler was more likely to win. This made the fight pretty frustrating. The Edwards fight ends in a knockout, but before that it is 1 1/2 rounds of stalking, with little engagement by either fighter.Overall, a weak event. Get it if you are a completist and must own every UFC event, or for the Huges-Trigg fight.
