UFC has a poor track record with their best of dvd's. Luckily this one doesn't dissapoint. The bonus material (which is left out of some ufc dvds altogether) is great. There's a top 5 ko's of the year, top 5 subs of the year, and then some behind the scenes looks from before and after the big events of 2008.

The main feature shows complete fights of some of the biggest match-ups in 2008 but also gives you a brief retrospective of how the year went for less popular fighters like Florian, Nate Diaz, Bisping, Machida, etc.

Plus, at $13.50 for two quality blu ray discs the value simply can't be beat. If you own a blu ray player and can only buy one ufc dvd this would clearly be the one.

Recieved UFC: Best Of 2008 from Amazon. Kind of strange how they decided to include 2 25GB discs instead of putting everything on a 1 50GB disc.

The picture quality is pretty good.

The content is:

Disc 1 (21.1GB)
Penn Vs Stevenson
Penn Vs Sherk
St-Pierre Vs Serra
Anderson Silva Profile
Jardine Vs Silva
Fight For The Troops Promo
Evan Tanner Tribute
Mir Vs Lesnar
Couture Vs Lesnar
Mir Vs Nogueira

Disc 2 (23.4 GB)
Jackson Vs Griffin
Jackson Vs Silva
Ultimate Fighter Promo
Liddell Vs Evans
Griffin Vs Evans

Bonus
Ultimate Comebacks Trailer
Top 5 Knockouts Of 2008
Top 5 Submissions Of 2008
UFC Behind The Scenes (33 minutes)

To the previous reviewer who wanted to know what the "packages" are, they are basically clips/promos. For example, the Evan Tanner package is probably like 3 minutes of an Evan Tanner tribute. The fight for the troops package is just a 3 minute promo/summary of that event.

I just watched this today. I always order UFC PPV events in HD and this blu-ray is certainly better quality. This is a must for any UFC/MMA fan.

Amazing picture in Blu Ray. All fights featured were shot in HD. Box says 1080I. I believe Blu Ray player upscales to 1080P. Definetely a notch above the PPV HD broadcasts.

As others stated, there should have been more complete fights included on each disk since since Blu Ray discs support 50 Gigs of data. I would have liked to have seen Hendo/Anderson, Machida/Tito, and Lesnar/Herring complete fights. Also, a few of the e Fight for the Troops main card.

UFC should include some easter eggs in their DVDs. If your a UFC/MMA fan this is required buying at the current cheap price for a Blu Ray.

this is a very good blue ray disc, great fights, amazing image quality and sound, the blood...is like be there!!! if you are a ufc fan, this dvd is for you.

This DVD truly showcases the quality of the Blue Ray disk. The picture is dazzling -- extremely crisp and colorful. And, the show itself is very well put together. I can easily see myself watching this multiple times. If you are a UFC fan, this is a must-buy.

That is what is on it. I'm not really sure what the packages are. I was hoping someone had a review written already and could tell me what the packages consist of because the Fight Night for the Troops had great fights on it.
