All in all, a great addition to your collection with some fantastic moments. Customer Rating: Summary: Unfinished Business Comment: This is another solid UFC event - a night packed with great fights.
The night begins with Yves Edwards turning the tables on (or "lucking out" against) Josh Thompson, who had been overpowering and outperforming him until that point. The night then gets better with the next fight between Nick Diaz and Karo Parisyan. Diaz is a far better striker and Parisyan is better at takedowns and throws. This turns out to be quite an impressive battle, with wonderful moments of intricate technique being employed by both fighters. These two are a great matchup and I would actually like to see them fight again in the future. As they are both extremely young, this may be likely to happen.
Chris Lytle continues looking good against Ron Jhun - and Justin Eilers treats Mike Kyle how I feel he needs to be treated. There is just something so very irritating about Mike Kyle... Great punch by Eilers. Thank you.
The bout between Matt Lindland and David Terrell is over in the blink of an eye... Do we have a new force in the UFC?
Next up, Chuck Liddell v. Vernon White. "Tiger" White does far better than I expected in this fight, but ultimately he falls, as so many do before Liddell. Joe Doerksen and Joe Riggs are both good fighters and they have a decent fight where Riggs displays good strength and strikes, but either are serious contenders for the championship, in my opinion.
The main event is controlled throughout by Randy Couture. There is a cut caused by a headbutt, which makes it a bloody battle. Very entertaining and almost frustrating to watch.
As always, there are good bonus features made up of behind-the-scenes footage.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent show Comment: Man oh man was this a fun event to watch! The main event was great to see... and the fights leading up to it were extremely entertaining as well. The one thing that I really miss in the UFC is lightweight fighters. Thompson vs. Edwards is a perfect example of why the UFC needs to bring back this amazing weight class... there are just so many killer fighters at that size. Buy this DVD, it rocks! Customer Rating: Summary: Ultimate Couture Comment: This is my favorite UFC event to date. Only one fights goes to decision, one fight ends in submission, and the rest end with someone being hurt. :) Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Comment: I saw this on paper view, it was awesome. There was no unfinished business after these fights. All kinds of knock outs and chokes, it was awesome on paper view so its gotta be awesome on DVD.
