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.
UFC 58: USA vs Canada wasn't the greatest UFC event but there's still plenty on which to recommend this DVD. A truly great scrap between Sam Stout and Spencer Fisher.
A controversial decision, a major upset and a fascinating main event make up for the odd disapointment.
Also, while the crowd may not have appreciated the Marquardt vs Doerksen fight, there's some fine technique on show.
The only extras are a pair of features on the St. Pierre vs Penn and Franklin vs Loiseau fights but both are excellent. Totalling 24 minutes they feature training footage, weigh-ins, warm-ups, interviews with team members and cornermen and some great post-fight footage and analysis.
A good solid show that's certainly worth a look.
