Firs of all, let me start by saying that within the last 2 years I have become a huge fan of MMA, especially the UFC thanks to the energetic support from Spike TV making these events available and accesible to the masses; Not all the bouts in this event were great but just to have the Matt Hughes- St Pierre fight is totally worth the price; And even though St. Pierre is no longer the Welterweght champion, he is a well rounded fighter and I hope to see more of him in this sport; Solid effort by Zuffa distributing these dvds,

Long live the UFC

4.0 out of 5 stars No Bad Intentions, but some good fights, October 24, 2007

In the headline fight of the night, Georges St. Pierre finally gets his chance at redemption against the champion that had barely defeated him early on in his career. St. Pierre, now a seasoned and complete fighter, gets another crack at welterweight giant, Matt Hughes. The co-main event features heavyweight champion, Tim Sylvia, defending his coveted title against challenger Jeff Monson.

The night opens with Joe "Daddy" Stevenson (Matt Hughes's first selection on The Ultrimate Fighter Season 2) vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima. Stevenson, already a veteran in MMA, impresses once again.

Next, rising heavyweight (should probably be light heavyweight) star Brandon Vera gets his "biggest" fight yet in the UFC against former champion on the comeback trail, Frank Mir. Mir has not looked good at all in his comeback fights inside the octagon and now he is facing a younger, faster fighter in Vera. Vera has made the claim that he would eventually secure both the light heavyweight and heavyweight belts, but let's just concentrate on beating the washed up fighter in front of you to pad your record first. This one is fun to watch...

Everyone loves a standup fight - and that is what we would all expect from Alessio Sakara and Drew McFedries. Sakara is a boxing champ from Italy and McFedries seems to be the new "Robbie Lawler" out of team Miletich. This one is a slugfest!

UFC newcomer Hector Ramirez takes on James "Sandman" Irvin. This is a decent fight and you won't have to sit through three full rounds, as it does not go the distance.

Co-main event time!!!! Feel free to take a nap at this point. Just as expected, the very short Jeff Monson has extreme difficulty getting past the lurching Tim Sylvia's long arms. Sylvia doesn't do much to try to end this one and Monson can't seem to do much, so this one just wears on and on.

The fight we all wanted to see: welterweight champion Matt Hughes finally faces Georges St. Pierre again. St. Pierre had lost to Hughes via a last second armbar submission way back at UFC 50. He had not been quite ready for that challenge then, but he is a different fighter now. Whether you already know the outcome of this fight or not, it is a true masterpiece. This is a must see. One man decides to play a dangerous game in this fight and he pays the painful price for it.

The DVD also contains a good deal of bonus footage from the days leading up to the fight. This is worth a watch. I highly recommend this DVD if for nothing other than the main event.

This card really does have some bad intentions. The fights are as follows--Frank Mir vs. Brandon Vera, Alessio Sakara vs. Drew McFedries, Joe Stevenson vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima, Nick Diaz vs. Gleison Tibau, Antoni Hardonk vs. Sherman Pendergarst, Hector Ramirez vs. James Irvin, Josh Schockman vs. Jake O'Brien. With a Sylvia vs Monson Heavyweight title fight and a Hughs vs St. Pierre Welterweight title fight. Every fight is a submission or exciting knockout save for the O'Brien/Schockman and Sylvia/Monson fights. Both of those can be fast forwarded since they are real snoozers. The others are all terrific and some highlight real events happen. This is a good event to add to your collection.
