My boyfriends addicted. He didn't have any of the Ultimate Fighters before I bought these, but he loved watching them on TV. He's a guy, they can watch fights over & over & over, it doesn't get old. I purchased season 1 thru 4 & will be getting the rest, very soon!
A decent start to the now popular seriesFebruary 21, 2010 Matthew Paul Fryman 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This DVD for sure gets 5 stars because it is a well-packaged/designed box set and it was full of then-unknowns that have now become the faces of MMA fighting. The numerous discs do not take up a ton of space on my shelf because the box is folded/packaged well.
Now, for the show itself. It was great to see the struggles of a professional fighter in this sport (and boy do some have it hard) and also to see how much someone can improve in a sport. This series has it all, from cast backstories worked into the show, mostly exciting fights, great finale, and stellar bonuses on the extras disc.
It was painfully obvious that the producers were still trying to work out the perfect formula/format for an elimination/fighting-type tv show because sometimes they reversed rules, questioned decisions, and had lop-sided teams often needing to trade fighters. Other than that, you really got to know the contestants, coaches, trainers, and the sport of mixed martial arts! I highly recommend getting into this series/sport and start it off right with season 1.
Was Ok, final missing..August 23, 2009 Samuel Hough Disk 2 had some bad spots, 2 episodes were unwatchable. I am also sort of confused. Mine came with 12 episodes (3 disks) and no Final fight. Is that a separate buy? Some of the posts sound like the final fight was in theirs and they had 4 disks...did I get robbed or are the final fights separate buys?
not "old school UFC" as someone said on here, but well doneMay 9, 2009 RodneyG 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First of all, the UFC has been around for a long time. I know alot of people didnt jump on the "bandwagon" until they made a reality show, and thats fine, it was underground and many didnt know it even existed. This, however is not old school. Check out UFC 1 to see old school. No weight classes, just show up and fight. The names Gracie, Shamrock, Severn, Frey, Kimo....thats old school, not Lidell and Coutoure. Now, on to the dvd. Im not a big fan of reality tv, but UFC did a great job on the show. Its interesting to see how these guys worked toward their goal of being a pro fighter, the ups and downs of the fight game itself, and how a guy like Griffin can rise up and become a future star in the making. Unlike the people who "graduate" from American Idol, these guys actually stick around and become solid pros. I think this is a good buy for anyone who wants to see just how hard it is to become a pro fighter.
AMAZINGMay 1, 2009 Donna L. Keplinger(forks, washington) this is by far the best Ultimate figher season because it is the one with A. Forrest Griffin and B. because its the original season. AMAZON did a good job to get it to me fast and its a great thing to buy if ur interested in where forrest griffin. stephan bonnar. nate quarry. josh koshacheck. Kenny FLorian. and diego sanchez all began. If ur a fan of any of those fighters i suggest buying it.
