Decent Card but you get liddell v silva

2008-09-16
I agree with the other reviews the card has its up and downs but liddell and silva is a fight that makes this dvd, it was said best by joe rogan on air, "these two dogs have been staring through the cage at each other for a long time" and when these dogs got out it should go down as one of the best fights in ufc or mma history.

Liddell vs Silva!

Chuck "iceman" Liddell and Wanderlei Silva definetly lived up to hype in this match winning fight of the night.St.Pierre vs Hughes was pretty enjoyable for most people (assuming everyone was cheering for who I think they were!).

So you're an MMA fan huh...then u owe it 2 yourself to see your favorite fighter LIVE! I did (GSP) and let me tell you this much...the last two fights make this DVD worth the price of sale. Ina whole on the undercard...Gamburyan was dominant...Clementi shut Guillards' big mouth and Machida proves why he is top contender in the light heavy weight division. NOW down to buisness...Chuck VS. Wanderlei was EVERYTHING it was built up to be and more...they stood and traded shots just about the whole way thru...Chuck even mixed in a few surprises and he proved that he was back...they were both in great shape and Chuck obviously respected Wanderlei enough to step up his conditioning, Wanderlei won me over as a fan!...this one left me with very little voice for the Main Event...Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughes for the interum Welterweight title. Hughes looked different this time, like he knew what his fate was to be on this night. During the intermission for the main event fights there was a very loud cheer from the crowd...it was GSP coming into the ring to wave to the crowd and bless himself ( kneeled down in the Octogon and did the sign of the cross) it was a sign of things to come...Matt Hughes was dominated like very few thought he would ever be...even more so then their last fight. GSP was on a mission, you could tell in his eyes, body lanuage and overall aura he had that night...this was a special fight for him. If you're a big GSP fan...you have to believe this was a coming out party for out fighter...he announced to the world that he was the dominant welterweight in the world...hands down! This is was a clinic of ground and pound and dominant wrestling skills from a fighter who just recently started wrestling...GSP!!!

3 and a bit more

A ten fight card is full of ups and downs. You have got a few boring decision fights with little action, you have got an injury stoppage, and even a heavyweight fight that ends in a tko, but is real sloppy. On the other hand you have 3 rounds of Liddel and Silva slugging it out and a true grudge match in Guillard vs Clementi. You also get to see a very dominating performance by St Pierre. It is a decent card with a few good bouts, but it is not the strongest event overall.

A Battle Years in the Making + Rival Interim Championship = NEMESIS

another mixed ufc card some good fights some sleepers

I bought this dvd for st pierre vs hughs, liddel vs silva, and the sokoudju (sp) fight not that the other ones were bad but gosh dean lister you are a wizard on the ground please learn how to strike or some takedowns. melvin guillard vs the other guy on the ultimate fighter 4 come on who is making these matches not that I want every single fight to be championship caliber but I would have been very upset if I paid money for ppv and saw these fights also ufc really needs to speed up the release date of the dvd's.
Honestly unless you are a manny gamburyan fan I would buy the best of 2007 dvd the only reason I bought this one was because I wanted to see the african guy and he wilted under the pressure of the octagon.

3.5 Stars

Overall this UFC was an alright event. If I were you id just buy the UFC Best of 2007 dvd set because you get the 2 really good matches from this event, Liddell vs Silva and Hughes vs GSP. As for the pre-lim fights on here, they werent anything special or worth watching twice, except for Gamburyan vs Mohr. Dean Lister gives another boring 3 round fight, and James Irvin's bad luck follows him into his fight with Luiz Cane. Machida vs Sokoudjou was a good fight but I wasn't satisfied with Sokoudjou performance. As for Liddell vs Silva, wow, thats all I can say. One of my top 5 fights of the year, but hey, what do you expect from 2 of the best strikers in that divison! GSP vs Hughes was the fight of the night, but only one fighter showed up with confidence and heart needed to win...the other got dominated.

Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre (for interim welterweight title)
