3.0 out of 5 stars A good show until........., July 21, 2000

This review is from: Ultimate Fighting Championship 9 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This installment of the UFC received a lot of press mostly due to Michigans' attempt to cancel the show a few weeks before the show. A lot of the earlier UFC's were used as "proof" of it's violent nature. While the event went on as planned, a few rules were placed just before showtime. First off, open handed strikes had to be used, and pressure point strikes were disallowed. I think only a few fighters used open-handed strikes, while every fighter did heed the pressure point rule. The show was a change from the previous 9, no tournament but a fight card format. It proved to be a winning formula as every fight was entertaining, except for the Superfight. An inspirational performance by Mark Shultz and an unbelievable fight between Don Frye and Amaury Bitetti highlighted this show. But it was the Superfight that absolutely angered the crowd, and embarrassed all fans and supporters of the sport. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn basically slapped each other for 20+ minutes, until they finally hit the mat for the last 5 minutes. While there was strategy involved, it's very hard to defend the lack of effort by each fighter. The most disappointing fight ever; worse than any work or ground war. I try not to ruin a review by giving the results, but this is the exception. With all the media surrounding this card, the Superfight may have calmed the good-doer's and politicians, I guess that's a good thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars First UFC that didn't have a tournament, January 14, 1999

All of the fights were just a single fight; no tournament. The only bad fight was the last one, the Superfight. It might be the worst UFC fight ever. Frye vs. Bitetti was a war. Great buy as long as you don't watch the Superfight.
