Summary: A lot of madness in the motor city.
Comment: This tape was not that bad.Don Frye shows why he is the predator.
the superfight is what brought this UFC down for me.It should have been called the superflop.Anyways.Rent to watch the first few matches,but stop before the superfight.

Summary: More slapping than a 3 stooges film festival
Comment: This video will make you think two things; 1.The U.F.C is a joke! 2.Larry, Curly, and Moe govern the state of michigan for making such stupid rules!

Summary: whattsamatta you?
Comment: The first bout-style UFC, with no tournament. Some fairly good fights, with Frye-Bitteti being the best. The superfight between Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn ranks in my top 3 'Worst Fights Ever'. Just pathetic. I'd advise you to stop the tape before it starts, but it's like a car-wreck; it's so horrible, you just have to watch. On the other hand, there's usually some blood at a good car-wreck.

Summary: A good show until.........
Comment: This installment of the UFC received a lot of press mostly due to Michigans' attempt to cancel the show a few weeks before the show. A lot of the earlier UFC's were used as "proof" of it's violent nature. While the event went on as planned, a few rules were placed just before showtime. First off, open handed strikes had to be used, and pressure point strikes were disallowed. I think only a few fighters used open-handed strikes, while every fighter did heed the pressure point rule. The show was a change from the previous 9, no tournament but a fight card format. It proved to be a winning formula as every fight was entertaining, except for the Superfight. An inspirational performance by Mark Shultz and an unbelievable fight between Don Frye and Amaury Bitetti highlighted this show. But it was the Superfight that absolutely angered the crowd, and embarrassed all fans and supporters of the sport. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn basically slapped each other for 20+ minutes, until they finally hit the mat for the last 5 minutes. While there was strategy involved, it's very hard to defend the lack of effort by each fighter. The most disappointing fight ever; worse than any work or ground war. I try not to ruin a review by giving the results, but this is the exception. With all the media surrounding this card, the Superfight may have calmed the good-doer's and politicians, I guess that's a good thing.
