Ultimate Fighting Championship 46 - Super Natural DVD

Advantages: Fight fans will like it
Disadvantages: No extras

...The all new Ultimate Fighting Championship was under new management and just getting bigger and more mainstream with each event to the point where it is now getting bigger crowds than boxing and is mainstream tv in america.

Advantages: It's fighting

...Ultimate Fighting Championship for those that don't know is real fighting in a cage. All the skills from all martial arts are used, wrestling, boxing, kicking, throws and submissions. 3, 5 minute rounds with 5, 5 minute rounds for title fights. And 5 weight divisions.
