Punches and kicks fill 56

Advantages: great mix of styles
Disadvantages: none

...the first season on the Ultimate Fighter (but dropped out due to injury). Having won only 4 out of his last five fights, Quarry was the huge underdog going into this fight. There was some talk of him being a great talent, but his opponent was deemed too much for him. So, those are the main bouts, but there are also some great fighters on the undercard: Georges St Pierre, who is now the Welterweight Champ (as of April 2009), takes on Sean Sherk, ...
...his last 12 fights. This was a much anticipated bout to settle the dust and work out who deserved a shot at the Welterweight title after Riggs had had his go. SO WAS IT ANY GOOD: Yes, indeed it was. When the UFC puts on a show where you have lots and lots of top talent, you're in for a good night. I can tell you right now that the night includes a huge knockout - one of the most brutal I have ever seen, where the unconscious opponent drops back ...

Pride Shockwave 2004, bit of good, bit of boring

Advantages: Some great matches
Disadvantages: Some timewasters

...dvd contains the now defunct Pride FC's 2004 New year's eve supershow. Of the 11 fights featured only Ryo Chonan vs Anderson Silva (featuring one of the most memorable submissions ever) Takanori Gomi vs Jens Pulver, Mark Hunt vs Wanderlei Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Fedor Emelianko are outstanding matches that you'll want to rewatch again and again. The rest is mostly filler unfortunately. Crocop vs Randleman is a big disappointment and ...

Pride 29: Fist of fire

Advantages: Good extras
Disadvantages: Some mismatches

...and knees all hurt here. Pride is based in Japan and is very popular and bigger than boxing there. It's world rival is UFC which is based in America and is fought in a cage while Pride is staged in a ring. Pride 29 wasn't a bad show by any means, but it's far from the best. Very few of the fights (10 in total) are really competitive, a few whitewashes and some mismatches. Sergei Kharitonov's destruction of human punishment sponge Choi Mu Bae is ...
...times and terrifying at how Cro Cop neutralised Coleman's wrestling. This DVD has a very good quota of extras, from fighter interviews and biographies. Crowning glory for extras is "Backstage with Bas Rutten" lasts a good 10 minutes. A good entry point for pride rookies. Worth checking out. ...

Just another event from PRIDE

Advantages: Wanderlei Silvas aggression and the skyscraper knees from Randleman
Disadvantages: Just to many mismatches

...!!! this hurts, alot. Pride 23 was no classic but still worth a look for fight fans. As allways it was held in the massive Tokyo Dome with a equally massive crowd. Not a whole lot of great fights with many mismatches, what pride fans have come to expect over the years. Some highlights include Wanderlei (the axe murderer) Silva, great nickname, vs Hiromitsu Kanehara. Just to see the sheer aggression of Wanderlei is something different that sets ...
...DVD extras are ok, Detailed fighter bios is good also video feature: what is pride fighting? and pride rules. If your a fight fan you might want to add this to your collection, if you just want to check out some Pride events there are better ones out there. ...

The best of aston villa 2005/2006 all summed up in 160 minutes

Advantages: Very detailed look at the 2005/2006 season
Disadvantages: There arent any

The aston villa season review 2005 / 2006 is a trip down memory lane at the highs and lows of that year! This particular year aston villa struggled under david o'leary but the positves were the inclusion of some very promising youngsters in the first team squad. It is a very good dvd which includes month by month results,squad profiles and match stats and who could forget the 3-1 win over close rivals birmingham city which is included as extended ...
