Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good fights, first and last event were only so so though Comment: Here are the matches
MARVIS EASTMEN VS TRAVIS LUTTER-man eastmen sucks.
TONY FRYKLUND VS IVAN SALAVERRY-2 TOUGH guys. One proves to be way tougher on this day though.
EVAN TANNER VS ROBBIE LAWLOR-really good match, Robbie Lawlor seems to be learning.
CHARUTTO VERISSIMO VS FRANK TRIGG-Verissimo had a battle with Matt Hughes that went all 3 rounds. Matt Hughes won but I honestly thought it was a tie and couldn't figure out how they gave it to Hughes. This is a really good match, but both fighters don't appear to be great by any means.
MATT HUGHES VS ST PIERRE-the fight you have ben waiting for. I was dissapointed but it is still a good fight.
RICH FRANKLIN VS JORGE RIVERA-this was a truly epic battle
PATRICK KOTE VS TITO ORTIZ-Kote is tough but really needs to learn the ground game, BADLY!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: just awful 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: Patrick Cote? Comment: The only thing that could have possibly saved ufc 50 would have been if the original main event of Mezger/Ortiz had actually taken place. Instead the ufc decided to put in some no-name Canadian 185lbs fighter to take his place. In typical Tito-like fashion, he takes the Canadian down and lays on him for 3 rounds. The only bright side on an otherwise dull night is the St Pierre vs Matt Hughes fight. But one fight is not anywhere near good enough to save this night from total and complete disaster.
Pride FC is the top organization in the world. Sadly, as can be seen from this event, the UFC is far behind. Customer Rating: Summary: OH YES! Beatdowns! Comment: If you love UFC, you will love this DVD. Ortiz vs Cote, and Hughes vs St. Pierre for the UFC Middleweight belt. (note Hughes had lost to B.J. Penn and is now trying to get it back). Lots of great matches on the undercard. This DVD will not disappoint. Customer Rating: Summary: Great bouts, but main event fizzles Comment: The War of 04'. We see Rich Franklin continue on his path to a title shot. He is truly a well-rounded mixed martial artist. Matt Hughes v. George St. Pierre was an interesting fight. It appeared as though the fight was being dictated by St. Pierre. He gave Matt Hughes all he could handle before making a costly error.
Ivan Salaverry impresses me once again. He is the kind of fighter who lets the flow of the fight dictate how he will defeat his opponent. He doesn't simply come in and impose his will. He lets his opponent choose a style and then finishes him in that style - he's very scrappy and talented. Evan Tanner, the ever-underrated warrior, shows us that experience and poise can prevail over raw talent and brute strength when he faces off with Ruthless Robbie Lawler.
Cheruto Verissimo v. Frank Trigg is another good fight. Here we had two of the top contenders going at it. They are quite equally matched but, in the end, raw power is the deciding factor.
In the main event, Tito Ortiz takes on no-name Patrick Cote, who replaced Guy Metzger due to an injury. Every single fight on the card that night was more interesting than this one. Nothing noteworthy from either side - just plain boring.
As an aside, we get commentary throughout from Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir, who does a very good job, in my opinion.
