5.0 out of 5 stars CroCop at his Best, April 13, 2009

This review is from: Pride: Final Conflict Absolute (DVD)

I've been a fan of MMA for years now and I can honestly say that this is one of the top two or three events I've seen.

The Cro Cop vs. Wanderlei Silva fight was one of the most brutal beatdowns I've seen in such a high profile match.

The Alexs Emelianenko vs. Sergei Kharitonov fight was good with a great finish.

Also the Shogun Rua vs. Cyrille "The Snake" Diabate fight was very entertaining.
Shogun was getting beaten standing up, but when he took The Snake down it was over shortly after.

I'm not sure how much Zuffa will edit this DVD from the original PPV broadcast I saw because the pre-fight show and fighter introductions were great as were the in ring entrances, but if you're an MMA fan and have purchased events on DVD in the past this would be one that I highly recommend buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute PRIDE FC, May 5, 2009

This review is from: Pride: Final Conflict Absolute (DVD)

Final Conflict is the final round of the 2006 PRIDE Fighting open-weight tournament. We have the four semi-finalists: Wanderlei Silva, Mirko Cro Cop, Josh Barnett and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Additional fighters featured on this card are Ricardo Arona, Alistair Overeem, Mauricio Shogun Rua, Sergei Kharitonov and Elaksander Emelianenko. This event is packed with big names and solid action.

Though the event takes place a while after the PRIDE we all knew and loved began slowly falling apart, it retains some of the feel from the earlier events. Mauro Renallo and Frank Trigg on commentary can't really touch Bas and Quadros, but they do a decent job.

Wanderlei vs. Cro Cop: Wanderlei is again fighting well above his natural weight and faces an on-top-of-his-game Mirko Cro Cop. That aside, this is a great opportunity to see two of the biggest names in PRIDE face off once again, years after their initial PRIDE/K-1 meshed rules fight that introduced Cro Cop to PRIDE.

Josh Barnett vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: here we see a war between two of the world's premiere heavyweights.

Mauricio Shogun Rua vs. Cyrille Diabate: Shogun is back after his broken arm loss to Mark Coleman and it's great to see him healed up and back in action. Diabate is a lanky and talented striker, so this is an interesting one to watch.

I won't mention who fights in the tournament final, so as not to spoil the outcomes from the fights listed above, but it's a great night for one of these fighters...

Overall, this is a great event. One of the last great PRIDE events, sadly. The DVD also includes additional fighter interview footage, as well as fighter walk-ins and two bonus fights.
