5.0 out of 5 stars The best season since The Ultimate Fighter 5, December 25, 2009

This review is from: UFC: The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 - Team Mir vs. Team Nogueira (DVD)

The Ultimate Fighter 8 is probably the best season since season 5. This season features both light heavyweights (205lbs) and lightweights (155lbs). Both weights have some truly talented fighters during the show. Also, like the Ultimate Fighter 7, the fighters have a preliminary fight to get into the house. The DVD set includes all of the preliminary fights in their entirety instead of the highlights that the viewers got during the broadcast. Now for the best part: the coaches. This season features Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (personal favorite) fresh off his submission win over Tim Sylvia for the interim heavyweight title as well as Frank Mir who's fresh off of his submission win over Brock Lesnar (UFC 81). Both coaches bring their own styles to the coaching of the teams as well as their own sets of guest coaches. As the season progresses, the viewers end up with some truly talented finalists as well as a grudge match between the two coaches (held separately at UFC 92). Also included is the Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale where the two "champions" will be crowned. This was definitely one of the more exciting nights of fights during 2008. Give this season a watch. It's definitely the best one I've seen in quite awhile.

This was a gift for my husband. I had never purchased movies off of Amazon so I did wonder how well it would be. I have to say I was very happy with everything with my purchase!
