| | Customer Reviews: One of the Most Exciting Cards in the History of MMA (27 August 2010)Awsome fight card for the sport of MMA. I honestly don't think there was one bad fight on the whole dvd. I think one fight had a couple dry spot, but seriously hat was it! It has: possible 'fight of the year' between Garcia and the Korean Zombie, Successful newcomer to WEC Brad Pickett with impressive takedowns that gave him a close decision, Scott Jorgenson's rematch, Manny's unexpected defeat of former 145lbs champ Mike Brown with a 1st rnd TKO, Jose Aldo's first featherweight title defense against Urijah Faber. Aldo=the master for years to come, and he's only 23. Very, extremely fast kicks and strikes-the most exciting fighter in the sport right now (including UFC). You can not ask for more action in a mma card than this one!!! Finally...the WEC comes to DVD (21 July 2010)If you're a hardcore MMA fan you already know how great the WEC is and this show is no exception. However if you're unfamiliar with the WEC here's a quick introduction. The WEC is the "little brother" of the UFC. Both companies are owned by Zuffa, but there's no sharing of talent between the two. The WEC focuses exclusively on the lighter weight classes: lightweight (155 lbs), featherweight (145 lbs), and bantamweight (135 lbs). The fights usually tend to be more dynamic and faster paced than those that take place in the heavier weight classes, and it's because of this that the WEC is quickly becoming one of the best mixed-martial arts promotions in the world. This card was the WEC's first foray into pay-per-view (all other WEC events are broadcast on the Versus network), and it's because of this that the card is stacked from top to bottom. The main event is current featherweight champion Jose Aldo defending his belt against former champ Urijah Faber. As one other reviewer pointed out this fight does end up being fairly one-sided, but it's a credit to Faber for going the distance with Aldo since most of the champ's opponents can't make it past the first round. The co-main event is another title fight, as WEC lightweight champ Ben Henderson takes on Donald Cerrone. These two had a five-round war that ended up as "Fight of the Year" on several lists at the end of 2009, and while the rematch wasn't a repeat of that performance it's still entertaining in its own right. The main card also features former featherweight champion Mike Brown against "Ultimate Fighter" season 5 runner-up Manvel Gamburyan, a great lightweight showdown between Shane Roller and Anthony Njokuani, and a fantastic fight between up-and-coming bantamweight contenders Scott Jorgensen and Antonio Banuelos. However there is one fight that stole the show at this event, and it's the fight that's already being talked about as "Fight of the Year" for 2010. Leonard "Bad Boy" Garcia welcomes WEC newcomer "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung to America, and this featherweight scrap is one for the ages. If you have a friend who isn't into MMA and you want to get them onboard, this is the fight to show them. It's the kind of fight that can be enjoyed over and over again, and its inclusion on this DVD makes this purchase a no-brainer for any fan of mixed-martial arts. The single most exciting night of MMA in the history of the sport. (11 July 2010)Watch every single one of these fights, and witness the gutty exchanges, beautiful submissions, and perfectly executed game plans. They all present their own background which will keep you on your feet. This DVD marked the rise of a star in Jose Aldo, who rose from a big fish in a small pond to a legitimate Pound for Pound great. kickfest (07 July 2010)Good fight in the sense that it was a good tactic and fight plan from Aldo and his team, but it's not much to watch. It basically looks like Aldo trained playing soccer and doing side volleys, then simply showed up to the fight and kept with it. So if you want to see some good kicking, I say stick with a soccer game, because beyond that, there wasn't much fighting going on here. I definitely can't blame him though, I'd be afraid to fight Faber head on as well. |
