4 Stars AWESOME! BTW I’m reviewing the Blu-ray edition.
I already have it. I won’t say how, but most of you probably already know how. None the less, here are my thoughts…for what they’re worth. Since Ama*on doesn’t delineate I will, I have the Blu-ray set and apparently, there are some differences in the extra content between the two so I can’t comment about the standard DVD set. The HD video quality is all you can expect it to be. Older fights are kept in 4:3 and look like you’d expect, old….at times ancient, and the newer (obviously 16:9) look great. People who say this isn’t great quality must not understand the process. These are live events. They’re not going to look like film or high def DV cameras using ‘film’ lenses. So disregard the complaints about the video quality.
The reason I give it 4 vs 5 stars is some of the fights included, and some of the fights omitted. As far as missing fights, first, and foremost Lesnar vs. Mir II. Which is clearly left off because the ‘UFC 100 Making History’ disc has just been released. To me, this is BS. How can this be omitted but Lesnar vs. Mir I be included? (and towards the top of the list no less.) That fight was a lot of things, but one of the greatest? No, not even close. I would have accepted it’s inclusion as a pre-text for II. But, without it, it seems pointless. I should point out that I’m not a fan of Lesnar or Mir, they both talk way too much trash and lack one of the main qualities that sets MMA apart. Respect. But I digress. A few of the fights included, just don’t measure up. For instance one fight, which is essentially a wrestling match and ends in a decision. Perhaps a great match, but not very ‘MIXED’. And there are a couple of boxing matches which would be hard to even pass off as kick-boxing. Maybe I’m being too particular, but I like seeing well rounded fights, with well rounded fighters. The bottom line is, if you love MMA you will love this set. As I mentioned there are questionable omissions an some odd choices included, but these probably only account for about 15 to 20 fights, the rest are golden. BUY IT!
5 Stars Great collection of fights!
Despite Amazon’s release date of December, Best Buy had it in stores 11/10. I am just now finishing up the first disc and have enjoyed it immensely. Even though I have just about all of the UFC DVD releases, this is great to throw in the player and see “greatest hits” fights IN THEIR ENTIRETY. It is a 6 disc release with the fights spread pretty evenly over the discs, except disc 6. This has the top 6 fights as well as the Spike 5 part series. (I guess this would be a spead up version? - Haven’t gotten there yet.) Anyways, pick it up at Best Buy for 54.99 while you can (their sticker price is 79.99 - sale may end Saturday???)
5 Stars AMAZING COLLECTION OF FIGHTS!
Despite Amazon.com listing the Blu-ray release as 12.08.09, this is actually set to be released tomorrow, 11.10.09, exclusively at Best Buy for just $54. If you are a UFC fan, this is definitely something to add to your collection. This is exactly what Spike TV showed prior to the UFC 100 PPV, except this has the fights in their entirety, not the highlights. The picture and audio look amazing, exactly how it looks on the Blu-ray release of UFC 100. Cross fingers that UFC starts releasing more of their events and shows on Blu-ray. A+++
5 Stars Blu-Ray
Worth every penny. Lots of fights on this (100 obviously) FULL FIGHTS! Not the last 3 seconds like other ufc dvds.
I disagreed with the fight selection on a few of them, but they are all great fights.
