Summary: Well up there in mixed martial arts
Review: Meltdown is without a doubt one of the best UFC tournaments in recent times. Whatever you do get the DVD coz the pre-lims are great and VHS doesn't show them. Strangley for UFC the first Pre-lim is Pedro Rizzo vs Tre Telligman. Thats one big first pre-lim! and it kicks of the night perfectly, Telligman is his usual agressive self, Rizzo looking as if he's just got up sporting a hangover doesn't hold back either. This fight really is a brawl between two very effective strikers. I won't spoil any fights by anoucing the winner but Rizzo's famous leg kicks come into play and bloody hell they look painful. We get to see the always enjoyable Yves Edwards practicing his ThugJitsu in an entertaining fight against eddie Ruiz, that man Edwards is just so Calm and collected. Marvin eastman hopes about like he's on speed againt Vitor Belfort in a match that ends with the worst cut i've seen in the UFC, it's proper nasty. If you don't know what happened in the Sims-Wir match then your seriously out of touch. A good bit of stomping ends this fight, naughty naughty (Stomping is illegal coz of the octagon). The shapely Vitale with his tanned body and good looks takes on the pasty, balding awkward but seemingly unbeatable Lindland. Lindland with his brilliant wrestling ability has beaten Baroni and miletich recently (if only he could punch like couture or Hughs!). Tank vs Leopoldo is the worst match by far. One thig worth mentioning is the odd heavily reliogious undertones this UFC has, with both Vitor and Kimo dedicated christians, Kimo is a minister and actually eneterd the Octagon in his UFC debut with an enormous cross on his back! But that's nothing compared with the extravagant weirdness of Chuck Lidell's entrance. What the hell was he thinking! Couture v Liddell is a good match but dominated by on of the fighters. Of course Couture has just moved down from the heavy weight division and Liddell is the interim light heavy weight champion since Tito refused to fight him. This DVD has got a really enjoyable mix of fights, my fave is the Rizzo-Telligman bout although the Lindland fight is truly hilarious. better than Sudden Impact and Onslaught, though if your willing to explore the past Worlds Collide was very enjoyable.

Summary: Ultimate Fighting is Awesome
Review: This DVD is well worth the $17 bucks that you have to cough up. Watching UFC warriors battle like Tank Abbott, Kimo, Vitor Belfort, Frank Mir, Yves Edwards, and Ian Freeman is a treat for any UFC fight fan. I also have to agree with the reviewer that said the UFC has come along way since UFC 1. The fighting skills have really improved.
