June 4, 2005 – Before a sold-out crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell makes his first title defense against the man who handed him his first ever defeat – Jeremy Horn. The undercard features the return of Randy "The Natural" Couture, the UFC debut of The Ultimate Fighter winner Diego Sanchez, and a highly anticipated welterweight match-up between Georges St. Pierre and Frank Trigg. A total of 8 fights.

Summary: Good solid show
Comment: This is not one of the best UFC cards but pretty close. A lot of the fights are one sided but you get some big names and fun beatdowns.

Summary: Another solid UFC event
Comment: As far as MMA goes UFC constantly puts on great shows with few exceptions and is argueably the premire organization in the world because of it. UFC 54 starts out strong with the prelim bout between James Irvin vs. Terry Martin and finishes strong with the main event between Liddell vs. Horn. There are a lot of great finishes and just some really solid matches across the entire card. My only gripe with the DVD is it isn't exactly full of content outside of the fights. It goes from the tale of the tape straight to the fights without the leading up to it like the DVDs past. That really is a minor flaw when considered how truly great the fights are overall. To someone not familiar with the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) but is interested in learning, I would recommend checking this one out with at least a rental. The fights deserve 5 stars the content 2 maybe even less.

Summary: St. Pierre is dangerous...
Comment: Wow, what a sweet knee "no name guy #1" delivered to "no name guy #2" in that preliminary fight, ha! It was mostly luck, but it was still one of the most shattering flying knees I've seen in mixed martial arts.
The action continues with Diego Sanchez in his pay-per-view event debut, Tim Sylvia v. Tra Telligman and an unbelievable fight between Frank Trigg and George St. Pierre. I was actually looking forward to this fight more than the main event. Let's just say that St. Pierre is something else and I think Matt Hughes would be in trouble if they were to meet up again.
The Couture fight is a good one, as usual. I always enjoy watching "The Natural" do his thing. This guy is the Jerry Rice of MMA at 42 and he continues to impress.
Not to give too much away, but the main event is a bit lackluster. The fight lasts a while, but it's not all that competitive. It's exciting as hell to watch, because you know that Lidell has that "one punch" threat and Horn is a submission magician, but things fall into a pattern early and the flow doesn't stray far from that pattern through to the end.
This is a great set of fights!

Summary: Great fights, poor DVD production
Comment: UFC 54 is packed with high caliber, action packed fights. It seems to feature a little of everything; two of the most brutal knockouts ever, battles that go the distance, one extremely dominating performance in a fight you would assume would be more even, etc. Basically, there isn't one boring fight in the whole event.
The problem with this DVD is that literally everything but the fights is completely cut out. The blurbs on each fighter before the match where their skills and previous fights are talked about (along with a quick word from the fighter on how they see the match going) are gone. I've always found this to be a great way to get some pre-match background on the fighter, and even a way to get a sense of their personality & attitude in some cases. So are the interviews with Joe Rogan afterwards, the announcements of the fighters before the bought, etc. Granted at the end of the day the fight itself is what you want to see, but what is the point of cutting everything else out? I just hope this isn't a trend with the UFC DVD's going forward, that would be disappointing.
Nevertheless, this is still a must own.
