3.0 out of 5 stars Judgement Day in Alabama, July 28, 2006

UFC Judgement Day.

Jerry Bohlander vs. Rainy Martinez:
This one ends quickly. It appears that one of these fighters has no business in the UFC and the other has what could be a bright future.

Wallid Ismail vs. Yoshiki Takahashi:
This fight evolves into a standing battle briefly, then turns into a standing struggle for position. Ismail's protective cup somehow gets ripped out of his pants, which I'd never seen happen in a fight before, nor have I seen it since. The fight grows less and less interesting - and it eventually goes to a decision.

Scott Ferrozzo vs. Jim Mullen:
Ferrozzo is a mess and he bothers me, haha... Tank Abbott, who amazingly lost to Ferrozzo, sits in on commentary for this fight. Ferrozzo looks more than ridiculous in his WWF wrestler-like tights with his huge gut hanging down over them. Ferrozzo predictably bulldozes Mullen into the fence and basically lies on him until the fight ends with a TKO. Granted, Ferrozzo uses his weight effectively - he's just amusing as a comical figure, not a fighter.

Tra Telligman vs. Vitor Belfort:
Belfort, the young phenom, simply overwhelms Lion's Den fighter, Tra Telligman... Very entertaining fight. Belfort has amazing hand speed and strength.

Takahashi had broken his hand in his first fight of the event and us unable to continue. Alternate Nick Sanzo steps in to face Jerry Bohlander in the finals of the tournament. This is another joke of a fight for Bohlander. It ends quickly.

Scott Ferrozzo vs. Vitor Belfort:
This one lasts 52 seconds. The fat man in tights gets absolutely lit up by Belfort... He lunges for Belfort after the fight has been stopped, attempting to lift Belfort and slam his. It is broken up and the octagon is filled with Belfort's team who carry him around in celebration. Ferrozzo didn't belong in there with the likes of Vitor Belfort. Not at all.

Mark "The Hammer" Coleman vs. Dan "The Beast" Severn:
This was to be an exciting fight. Severn, already 38 years old at this point, takes on the new bad boy on the block, Mark Coleman. Two of the finest grapplers the UFC has ever seen will go at it. The fight, however, is something of a letdown. It doesn't last all that long and it doesn't end all that spectacularly.

Not a bad night for the UFC, but certainly not too notable an event. I recommend at least seeing it, but it is not exactly "required viewing" for MMA and UFC fans.

Vitor Belfort's first apearance in the octagon is simply stunning end he was just 19 years old!, if you are into Non Holds Barred type of fighting you should not miss this one!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Judgement Day is here!, July 22, 2001

UFC 12 was on February 7, 1997 from Dothan, Alabama. This is the first UFC with weight classes. And with guest commentating from Ken Shamrock in the lightweight tournament, Tank Abbott in the heavyweight tournament and Don "The Predator" Frye in the main event.

In the lightweight tournament is Lion's Den fighter, UFC 8 and 11 veteran and Super Brawl 1 Middleweight tournament champion Jerry Bohlander, Pancrase veteran Yoshiki Takahashi, Universal Vale Tudo Fighting veteran Wallid Ismael, and rookie fighter Rainy Martinez. This was a good tournament but I didn't care for it.

In the heavyweight tournament is Lion's Den fighter and Super Brawl 1 heavyweight tournament champion Tra Tellingman, Super Brawl 2 veteran and Carlson Gracie Jr. student Vitor Belfort, UFC 8 and 11 veteran Scott Ferrozo and kickboxer Jim Mullen. This tournament was good too, but finals were great.

The main event is between UFC 5 Champion, UFC Ultimate Ultimate 1995 champion and UFC 9 "Super" fight winner Dan "The Beast" Severn and UFC 10 and 11 champion Mark "The Hammer" Coleman. This fight was to crown the first UFC Heavyweight champion. This was good but not great.

Overall good tape.
