Highlights! For anyone who is intending to by this item should know that it's a highlight DVD of 100 fights in UFC. It's a cool DVD to have when you don't have time to watch actual full fights. I think it's good to see short highlights of memorable moments of past UFC matches and having fighters talk about what happened in those fights; but don't expect to see all the fights you like. For example, I would of hoped to see some Bas Rutten, Marco Ruas, and even Frank Shamrock in this DVD. All in all I would say it's a nice DVD to have. I have watched it a few times now and am still watching it.. just to get that rush now and again.

You get to see a lot of fights on one video.

This is by far one of the better gifts I have ever gotten.

The quality of the filming varies but that is due to the lighting on a paticular fight and not the fault of the dvd.

Ok so I bought this for my girlfriend and not for myself. Go figure, she's the big MMA fan. But she loves it and is still not done with it because she wants to treasure it as it counts down through the fights.

She loves the reviews and coverage, and it's a very nice, long DVD - not a quick one at all.

It's fair to say that back at UFC 1 in 1993 not many people thought that 16 years later UFC would be getting ready for its 100th event and would be easily doing over a million pay per view buys in the U.S alone and have a worldwide audience and would even be now accepted as a mainstream sport and be sanctioned in most U.S states, and sell out arenas in those that it is sanctioned. So what better way to celebrate the historic event UFC 100 would go on and become is to count down the top 100 moments in it's history.

It's fair to say two things saved UFC, first was the Fertitta brothers listening to Dana White and buying the company that was on it's last legs and the second was the self financed make or break reality show The Ultimate Fighter(TUF) becoming an overnight sensation on cable tv mainly thanks to the finale featuring finalists Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin.

So what you get with this dvd is over 3 hours of a countdown(from 100 to 1) of the UFC's greatest moments, whether it be Ken Shamrock's and Tito Ortiz's heated rivalry, Matt Hughes coming back from an illegal groin strike or Randy Couture defying the critics and father time to become a champion at the age of 43 they are all include here, all the great fights and upsets!! I don't want to give away too much as that would spoil the countdown but there's many jump out of your seat moments and it's a great dvd for new fans of the sport to learn a bit of history.

There's loads of talking heads to talk about the moments including UFC president Dana White as well as commentator Joe Rogan and of course loads of the actual fighters that actually competed in the fights.

This dvd is really a must for new and old fans of the UFC and it must hurt the knockers of the sport who said it would never last and was too barbaric. One thing is for sure is that it won't take another 16 years before UFC 200 comes along!!

Mike Goldberg runs through the top 100 fights as voted by the fans. Fight clips are interspersed with commentary from the fighters and other UFC names. Note that you do not get the full-length fights.

Also note that there is no DVD menu shortcut that takes you to the fight you want. The 100 fights are broken down into five episodes with the last episode being the top 10 fights. Neither does the DVD come with a booklet, so there is no quick way to locate particular fights to watch.

Spoiler: The #1 fight is... (see below)





...Griffin vs Bonnar (from the Ultimate Fighter season 1 finale)

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. It came just as described. Brand new, still wrapped up in plastic. It shipped within a day or two of ordering it. Very satisfied.

Nice for the UFC fans. I enjoyed it, but for the ones who have bought The Ultimate 100 Fights, it does not bring anything exciting. It could be much better if it had more interviews with the fighters. But, its a good buy for the fans.

There are legions of fans who lap up this action; some even pay 30 to 60 dollars per four hour special to see it on closed circuit. I just had to see what all the fuss was about. It is disturbing to see harm done to opponents without the historic stature of boxing or the grace and balance of the classical martial arts. This is just a slogging contest with the last one standing the winner.
