Customer Rating: Summary: ufc 48 Comment: i was expecting kimo to win, but got knocked out insstead, all of the other fights were great and action packed. if you like action, or just a collector of the UFC like me, pick this 1 up. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Bother Comment: Just terrible and not worth the money. The fights are horrible and the fighters have very little skill. Puchase PRIDE instead where the best fighters in the WORLD come to fight. Customer Rating: Summary: Can I give a negative rating? Comment: UFC 48 is one of the worst events I've ever seen. The main event is a fight between two old tomato cans that don't belong on a kotc card let alone a ufc card. The co main event features a fat, chicken-legged champ who's not even ranked in the world top 5 taking on a Jiu-Jitsu fighter with ZERO cardio. You can tell that all these guys have very little skill compared to the guys in Pride and sometimes are akin to fat barroom brawlers.
Pride FC is the top organization in the world. Sadly, the UFC is far behind. Customer Rating: Summary: 2 old lions at it again Comment: At this UFC event, we see George St. Pierre display a slightly more aggressive style against Jay Hieron. It becomes very apparent that St. Pierre is the future of the middleweight division, as one of the most well-rounded fighters the UFC has seen.
Matt Serra fights Ivan Menjivar in a fight that is boring, for the most part.
We then see the always underestimated warrior Evan Tanner in his rematch with Phil Baroni. Their first bout stirred up quite a bit of controversy, due to the referee stoppage of the fight. This time, Tanner wins far more decisively, although Baroni seems "out of sorts". Good fight.
Matt Hughes v. Cheruto Verissimo. Verissimo was making a name for himself as a top contender at this time. In this fight, Hughes powers out of a number of submission attempts by Verissimo. The fight is actually rather boring, for a Matt Hughes fight. It goes to a decision.
Frank Mir takes on Tim Sylvia. Mir displays his strong submission game - and Tim Sylvia displays his "I don't know when to quit" game, as he is taken out of UFC competition for a few months due to a stubborn will. Frank Mir is a well-rounded fighter and basically a likeable fighter. I look forward to seeing more from him in the UFC.
In the main event, Ken Shamrock squares off against Kimo Leopoldo. These two fighters' UFC careers date back to UFC 1 (Shamrock) and UFC 3 (Kimo). It's amazing to see them here in UFC 48, still in great shape and still essentially top-notch fighters. The result is somewhat shocking, but the fight is certainly worth seeing - if for nothing else than to see these two UFC legends face off so many years later, after having been there since it all began.
This is another solid UFC event. The bonus material, as usual, is made up of behind-the-scenes footage that any fan will appreciate. Customer Rating: Summary: IT'S PAYBACK TIME! Comment: St. Pierre, Baroni, Tanner, Hughes, Mir, Syliva are all featured on this card. Plus the main event is 2 legends of the octagon colliding for the second time in their careers, Kimo and Shamrock! There are some good matchups on this UFC, although I think everyone was surprised the final match ended so quickly.
