Recommend Some Good UFC

[Deleted]

I was thinking about adding some UFC to my Netflix queue, but i'm not sure which ones would be worth watching. I just got 62, and was thinking about adding 63 since I want to see Hughes/Penn. I was also planning on adding 61, but I keep hearing that one's not so great.

So anyone got any recommendations on some good shows and ones I should probably avoid?

For me I like the first couple of UFC. There were no rounds or rules. Matches just went until someone got knocked out or tapped. For me that was much better than today's current product

I'd definately get the one where Couture schools Ortiz and makes him cry

i completly agree, ufc is a joke nowadays. anything from ufc 1 - 10 is good.

Of course all of the old school first UFCs are awesome. Wish they would go back to the tournament format at least once or twice a year. I liked the no rounds and only winning by KO or tap out better.

So I recommend any of the first couple of UFCs

also UFC: Couture vs Liddell 2 is AWESOME

has an awesome fight between Matt Hughes and Frank Trigg that is MUST SEE and of course Randy Couture vs Chuck Liddell 2

to say its a joke is pure ignorance.


yes 1-10 is good in the Bloodsport aspect.

Personally I go get a PRIDE set before UFC just cause theirs a lot of Pro wrestling aspect to it. But if you really want UFC, UFC 66 with Liddell/Tito 2. solid card.

I'd get the one with Liddel vs Jardine.

I really enjoyed that fight.

If your looking to get into MMA go out and get some Pride DVDs. The Legacy Series are only around 20-25 bucks and have 5 ppvs on them. You won't be dissapointed.

While the UFC is the top dog in the MMA world, Pride definitely had the best fighters and the best cards. On UFC shows your lucky if you get one main event worthy match *cough*Bisping vs. Evans*cough... where as in Pride their cards were stacked with some of the best fighters in the world like Shogun, Rampage, Cro Cop, Fedor, Nogueria, Wandy, Dan Henderson, Gomi, etc...

Get the one with Ortiz Vs. Shamrock I if you can. It's really funny to see how UFC used to have lavish pro-wrestling-style entrances.

Tito Ortiz is a punk! Tito Ortiz is a punk! Tito Ortiz is a punk! Tito Ortiz is a punk!

I have one of the really early videos and it is awful.

I think it is no 3.

Gracie and Shamrock both drop out halfway through, and an alternate who hasnt fought all night gets put right into the final and wins. it's a complete joke.

but then, im guessing some of these comments were made by people just trying to look 'Old school' hehe

yeah... UFC 3 is pretty bad, I would say look at 1,2, or 4 aka the tournaments Gracie won as he puts on some great matches

i agree 3 was really bad. the best ufc i think was 2. if you happen to find a dvd of the quailifying round its well worth the watch. had the best rules (or lack of)

i just liked the fact, that the were determining the world best fighting system. tho i would much prefered a league system and a lot more higher calibre fighters.

I think if your interested in the entertainment factor go for the more recent ufcs, but if your more into martial arts and fighting so for the early ones, or pick up the first couple ivc dvds.

Out of UFC's you mentioned, 63 is a must-have, 61 and 62 are ones to skip, ESPECIALLY 61... Disappointed but that one.... Get the Pride Legendary Years collection w/ 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 for the Pride set... If you like pride get the 2000 GP tournament, 2004 Total Elimination DVD, and Pride 28.... For UFC get the Liddel-Couture collection w/ all three of the PPVs they fought on

[krill]

Yeah, watching Royce Gracie lock someone in the missionary position for 20 is really exicting.

For a really good match I would suggest Frank Shamrock v Phil Baroni, not UFC but a well entertaining fight.
