Summary: A MUST HAVE! Best talent in Season One!
Comment: The idea was brilliant: pit two legendary UFC Champions competing against eachother in another aspect of Mixed Martial Arts - COACHING. The Teams are divided by divisions and weight classes for Randy Couture (The former Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight champion and future heavyweight champion) and Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell (Reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion). Interesting team challenges decide whose team gets to pick the first fight, and so on. Great season, introducing the likes of eight of the best middleweight rising stars and eight of the best light-heavyweight Future Stars of the fast growing phenomenon that is MMA.
Light Heavyweights
Team Liddell: Bobby Southworth, Sam Hoger, Forrest Griffin, Alex Schoenauer
Team Couture: Stephan Bonnar, Mike Swick, Lodune Sincaid, Jason Thacker

Team Couture: Nathan Quarry, Chris Leben, Alex Karalexis, Chris Sanford

Summary: Best, or second best TUF
Comment: I didnt get the opportunity to watch this season when it was happening, but recently purchased this DVD set after watching seasons 2-current and can honestly say this is one of the best. The most recent season with BJ and Pulver and all the lightweights was pretty great, but it seems that with every season we end up with more and more drama taking place over the fighting and training. While this makes for decent TV, the addition of chumps like Gabe Reudiger and the like who are obviously there for airtime over MMA oriented reasons has watered things down for me. Season 1 was serious, with serious coaches that were not about the insanity of the house and all the sophomoric behind the scenes BS. Not to mention the fighter and trainer profiles are really cool. The training section was cool, but a little light on info.

Summary: New to MMA
Comment: I just started watching MMA about a month ago when I found some UFC DVDs in the bargain bin at my local Blockbuster. Long story short, a month later, I own UFC 40-60 and TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) season 1. TUF Season 2 is coming in the mail. MMA is completely new to me, yeah I've been living in a cave. If MMA is new to you, TUF season 1 is a terrific place to start.

Summary: martial arts rules!
Comment: i think that mma serves it's purpose, but without traditional martial arts like japanese jujutsu, karate,and taekwondo mma would not exist!i liked this series because it shows how martial arts is used to improve yourself physically and mentally and people who think martial arts is just for bangin each others head in are crazy and don't deserve to take martial arts!plus stephan bonnar rules and his spinning back kicks are awesome!!!!!!!

Summary: Terrible
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.
That Matt guy who wrote the first review has no clue what he's talking about. PRIDE is the biggest stage for MMA not UFC. That is a fact.
