UFC: Best Of 2010 [DVD]

Excellent buy.

Pros: Has more full fights than any of the previous "best of" dvd's as well as good overviews of each weight class. More finishes - KO's, TKO's and submissions.. best of 2009 was a little light on submissions. Good selection of fights, with some exceptions (see cons).

Cons: no full Frankie Edgar or GSP fights. I'm not crazy about the "new" behind the scenes format, prefer the previous format where they go behind the scenes on a number of selected fights... but that's nitpicking really. Nothing to really complain about other than the lack of Edgar and GSP fights. maybe the Cro Cop - Barry fight and / or a Phil Davis fight would have been a nice inclusion?

If you are interested in any combat sports but especially MMA and have not seen the fights on this dvd, then you must buy it. These fights show some of the best displays of skill that I have seen in MMA and many of the best fights I have seen in my 18 years of enthusiasm in boxing, Thai boxing and MMA. The standard of MMA fighters just seems to be going up, with most of the top fighters now being proficient in wrestling, jiu-jitsu, boxing and Thai Boxing. This makes for close fights that ebb and flow.
On the down side, however, the dvd includes a UFC news round-up of 2010, which is included as part of the main feature. This news roundup not only tells you who won at least some of the fights on the dvd, but also shows you the finishes of those fights before you are shown the full length version of those very same fights. So from where is your sense of anticipation about who will win the fight meant to come? You have already been told who won. You have seen the end of the fight. That is one of the reasons that I have marked the DVD down. The other is the inclusion of some of the macho behaviour of some of the fighters, for example, Thiago Silva's putting his angry face up to the camera and drawing his finger across his own throat.
But the quality of the fights is mind blowing.

Thanks very much. Ordered on the 13th feb received on the 15th feb top quality service highly recommended. DVD and case just like new. Again thanks.
