Summary: Go Brock Lesnar!!
Comment: This was a great PPV from start to end. This was non-stop action all the way. The maine event with Tim Sylvia, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was an explosive fight. Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir was a great fight to watch as well. It was a great fight that had me on my feet in seconds when the fight started. This Dvd comes highly recommended. Go Brock Lesnar!

Summary: Completely Satisfying! This Was Awesome!
Comment: Oh boy! Brock Lesnar in the UFC, making his debut against a former champion, Frank Mir. Up to this point, Mir has had somewhat of a shaky comeback. His return was a first round TKO loss to newcomer, Marcio Cruz, in UFC 57. His next fight was a Unanimous decision win over Dan Christison in UFC 61. Then he lost in just over a minute in UFC 65 against Brandon Vera. But in UFC 74 he looked like the old Mir, and he submitted Antoni Hardonk at 1:17! But seriously, was Frank Mir back for real? Moronic, Barbaric, and quite frankly BRASH Brock Lesnar is taking on the challenge to answer the question for Frank Mir. Despite Frank Mir being a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master, and a brilliant wizard on the ground, Lesnar thinks this is nothing. I mean, come on! Brock Lesnar owns a 1-0 MMA record over Min Soo Kim by TKO. Does anybody know who Min Soo Kim is? I don't either. Frank Mir, well, he's ready to fight.
Then you have a title shot for two very eager contenders. Although interim, the Heavyweight title is up for grabs. And yeah, Tim Sylvia is one of the contenders. Sylvia has been champion, and he loves that belt. But former Pride champion, Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira wants the belt too, and he's never been finished. And his 4 losses have only come at the hands of Fedor Emelianenko, Dan Henderson and Josh Barnett. Tim Sylvia wants to be the first to knock out Nogueira. That would be saying something, and a great way to win the belt.
This is Breaking Point, UFC 81! There are 9 fights total, and I'll list them below.
Rob Emerson vs. Keita Nakamura: Emerson is coming off of a ruthless no contest in the Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale when he fought Gray Maynard. And Nakamura wants a first win as well. A good, scrappy fight, and the split decision is a well deserved victory for the winner.
Terry Martin vs. Marvin Eastman: Marvin Eastman has had quite the highlight reel in the UFC...courtesy of other fighters. Vitor Belfort, Travis Lutter and "Rampage" Jackson have put him away before the 3rd round ever occured. Terry Martin has had a little more UFC success, but not much more. I'll just say that there is a first for the winner by unanimous decision.
David Heath vs. Tim Boetsch: You wanna see a wild and crazy first round finish? Watch this scrap, and you got it!
Chris Lytle vs. Kyle Bradley: Somebody came into this with not much of a chance. It barely made it past 30 seconds!!
Tyson Griffin vs. Gleison Tibau: Another fight of the night for Tyson? Tibau is always one to bring it. A good match that goes to a unanimous decision.
Ricardo Almeida vs. Rob Yundt: The return of a UFC veteran, Almeida, welcomes newcomer Rob Yundt. But this ends with a submission pretty quickly in the first round.
Nate Marquardt vs. Jeremy Horn. Two ground wizards who know how to put up a fight! But it ends with a submission in the 2nd round. I loved it!
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir: Completely satisfying! Just watch the fight.
Tim Sylvia vs. Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira: Who would've thought that Tim Sylvia would be part of the Fight of the Night? He was, it was, and in the end, it was nothing short of amazing. Hats off to the victor!!
Great night of fights? Who knows? That depends on the viewer. I was completely satisfied, so hopefully I'm not satisfied too easily! But I liked what I saw.

Summary: GOOD card, not GREAT by any means, but good to watch.
Comment: Since the UFC puts on ok but not great cards for their $44.95 ppv fee, I don't purchase the ppv and wait for the dvd's to come out a few months later. This was a good card, especially the main event and is worth watching. Funny, Tim Sylvia is at his best in this fight, aggressive and really trying to take it to Nog, but........ (I dont want to spoil it for anybody who hasnt seen it.) Brock Lesnar makes his debut and shows some real serious potential as a mma fighter, even though his debut is quite brief. Good card but by no means great. Purchase Pride 33 Second Coming or Pride Shockwave if you would like to see a GREAT card packed with top fighters.

Summary: Big Nog vs Big Tim!
Comment: The main event gave me my 20 bucks worth alone.Mir vs Lesnar was an awesome fight as well!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great UFC PPV: BROCKS DEBUT!
Comment: Brock Lesnar finally makes his UFC debut against former HW Champ BJJ expert Frank Mir. Tim Syliva takes on former Pride Star Minatoru Nogguira for Randy Coutures HW title. A must buy for all MMA fans. UFC should start releasing the events on Blu-Ray.
