I enjoyed this tournament alot, it was the first UFC I ever owned on video and I still pop it in and watch it every once in a while. It contains Paul "The Polarbear" Varelans, Marco "King of the Streets" Ruas, "The Russian Bear" Oleg Taktarov, and "The Rock" Ken Shamrock. Paul Varelans tears up his side of the bracket as Marco Ruas proves that the UFC is not all about wrestling as he brings out his awesome striking skills. The Taktarov/Shamrock fight goes... it's long... it's boring... a few spurts of hits here and there, but nothing really exciting. Regardless, "Brawl In Buffalo" is definetly one to keep in your UFC collection....

4.0 out of 5 stars A good show in Buffalo, September 11, 2003

By A Customer

I think people were expecting the same bar brawling style of ufc VI(dont get me wrong,I like fast paced action fights,bar style fights),but I do like technical fights with some brawling,and
UFC 7 delivers.Mark Hall made his debut here,and he gives Harold
Howard some pain.Everybody thought Howard would win,but Hall
showed why he is called the Cobra.The best part of the event
is Marco Ruas.He is just amazing.The only downfall was some parts
of the superfight between Oleg Taktarov and Ken Shamrock got
kind of boring,but it was a good technical fight overall.If
you like UFC with action and technique,pick this one up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting and disappointing at times, July 14, 2000

By	greverio "greverio" (Centreville, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

A successful Oleg Taktarov, winner of UFC VI. tournamnet vs. Superfight Champion Ken Shamrock. On paper, and in the MMA scene, one of the most anticipated fights of the year. This Superfight would wind up being very dissapointing and dull. First of all friends should not being fighting. Clearly Oleg was never confortable fighting his friend. The match was THE only true disapointing fight of the night. As far as the tournament, it turned out to be better than expected. The return of Paul Varalens, and the debut of Brazilian fighting legend Marco Ruas made this tournament very riveting. Remco Pardoehl return was successful up until he battled Ruas. The final was a classic David vs. Goliath battle. A super tournament with a disappointing Superfight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
Not a bad UFC. Varelans makes an impressive showing and so does Ruas. Cureton doesn't do a bad job, and the Hall/Howard fight is a bloody mess. Read more
