Quadros was unique, yeah, hahaha. But it didn't matter to me as long as Bas Rutten was on commentary. He's still one of my favorite commentators today. He was on commentary a few times with Rampage while they built up the Wanderlei fights and it was just hilarious.
Usually Pride shows always have at least one fight worth watching, and that's why I have the entire collection. But there were a few in that period that didn't have that for some reason. I have no idea what it was but that early 2003 period didn't have too many stand out events. I remember Hendo/Rodrigo Nogueira, a few of the Don Frye fights and the Wanderlei/Sakuraba fights the most from that era. Then with the 2003 tourny and Fedor/Fujita everything took off. -----------
On topic, Anderson vs. Belfort.

Tim Sylvia Vs Randy Couture. One of my all-time favorite fights... seeing the older/smaller Couture (outweighed by about 45 pounds) totally school and beat-up a prime Tim Sylvia is amazing. Such a feel-good fight...

Again, can't disagre with you there, and Bas is great, no question, but sometimes it's hard to hear him. As for me, revisited UFC 46 which was superb, especially Penn VS Hughes, very emotional for one of my favourite fighters up against another of my favourites...GSP vs Karo was good too.

Two (newish) fights on UFC Unleashed last night:
BJ Penn VS Frankie Edgar, UFC 112.
- Two of my favourite LWs, a great standup clinic with amazing footwork and movement from Edgar, who had previously beaten Sherk in similar fashion. Penn looked good too, but didn't have the 'answer' on this night.
Lyoto Machida VS Mauricio Rua, UFC 113.
- Definitely not the same fighter we saw at UFC 104 in Shogun, despite being taken down a few times by Machida, ended Machida's undefeated streak in swift fashion. Good stuff.

Joe Stevenson VS Luke Cummo, TUF 2 Finale.
- How I wish this version of Joe 'Daddy' would show up again, an amazing fight, and IMO, probably the only good thing about TUF2.

Two more (newish) fights on UFC Unleashed last night:
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira VS Jason Brilz, UFC 114.
- One of those close as buggery fights to call, but regardless of the outcome I was impressed with Brilz, keeping busy and making Lil Nog work. Nice crucifix by him in the third.
Chuck Liddell VS Rich Franklin, UFC 115.
- Great fight this, especially when you factor in Franklin's broken arm from blocking Chuck's body kick early on, exciting stuff, and great standup from both guys of whom I am a big fan.

Chuck Liddell VS Tito Ortiz, UFC 47.
- Seeing clips of Chuck's 'Vitor-fast' hands from this fight never gets old, the whole fight exciting from start to finish, great stuff.

UFC 127 (as I imagine others did)
Far from the best card, but okay for the most part I guess.

Mark Hunt vs. Chris Tscdgherter or whatever from UFC 127.
The most casual one punch KO in UFC history

I finally got around to seeing the UFC #127 card since I missed out on it Saturday night. So, the final fight that I watched was James Te Huna vs. Alexander Gustafsson.

Three fights on UFC Unleashed last night:
Kendall Grove VS Jake Rosholt, UFC 106.
- Exciting fight here, Rosholt had impressed me previously in his fight against Chris Leben in Leben's hometown, and impressed me further, despite getting caught by 'Da Spyder' via triangle choke, great fight.
Sam Stout VS Jeremy Stephens, UFC 113.
- Another exciting fight, one that went the distance but was thrilling throughout, due to Stephen's heavy hands and Stout's precise leg kicks. Good stuff.
The thrid one was a fight I'd seen many times before, Cain Velasquez VS Ben Rothwell, which was proof positive of how good Cain is IMO...while I agree the fight was prematurely stopped, Rothwell made hardly any effort to intelligently defend himself...that's what happens...

Three fights on UFC Unleashed last night:
Melvin Guillard VS Waylon Lowe, UFC 114.
- Melvin's improvements due to training with Greg Jackson showed here, great striking, takedown defense and clinching saw him able to get Lowe where he wanted him, a brutal knee to the gut then some shots to finish it off...impressive.
Rick Story VS Brian Foster, UFC 103.
- Excellent welterweight matchup here, Story and Foster going hammer and tongs in the first round, and despite being opened up, Story was dominant throughout the first round. The finish was amazing, an arm triangle choke whilst in half guard...awesome stuff.
Roy Nelson VS Junior Dos Santos, UFC 117.
- Was very pumped for this fight, and wasn't disappointed, as a big fan of JDS, though noted how tough Nelson was in weathering the mixed strikes from JDS, especially in the first round. Great stuff here.

Matt Hughes VS Georges St-Pierre, UFC 50.
- Great fight between these two, and incredible skill from Hughes to transition to an armbar to submit GSP with only one second left in the round...excellent fight...

Garcia vs. Zombie
I watched the best of WEC 2010 again. That is one of my all time favorite fights. I love to watch Garcia's reckless striking style, but I think that it will stop him from ever making it too far in MMA.

Matt Serra VS Shonie Carter, TUF Semi Finals.
Although Serra couldn't finish Carter, this was a very good fight, with Carter's submission defense a great thing to see, as well as another spinning backfist.

Cole Miller VS Allen Berube, TUF 5 Prelims.
A prelim fight that pretty much went how I thought it would go. An ugly triangle choke from 'Magrinho' in the end sealed the deal...Berube didn't offer much either standing up or on the ground. Made alot of excuses after the loss too.
Manvel Gamburyan VS Noah Thomas, TUF 5 Prelims.
Excellent stuff from Manny here, good footwork and nice striking which led to the takedown. The similarity that he won this fight via kimura as did his cousin Karo Parisyan's first fight in the UFC against Dave Strasser wasn't lost on me...

Gray Maynard VS Wayne Weems, TUF 5 Prelims.
Another prelim fight that pretty much went how I thought it would go...I know nondescript guys in this particular season are tryign to be 'noted' for how tough they are, but Weems had no answer for Maynard, one of my favourite Lightweights.
Cole Miller VS Joe Lauzon, TUF 5 QF.
Besides the accidental elbow to the back of Miller's head, this was a cracking fight, especially the first round...my brother though Miller would submit Lauzon early, and gave credit to Miller's ground game...for the most part, Miller's guard was good, though Lauzon's GNP was nasty...would have loved to have seen how it would have gone, had the foul not occurred.

Two fights on UFC Unleashed last night:
Carlos Condit VS Rory MacDonald, UFC 115.
- An excellent and exciting fight here, the crowd really behind it, and why wouldn't they be...MacDonald impressed the hell out of me, but Condit even moreso coming back from 2 rounds down to finish via TKO with 7 seconds to go...great fight.
Nate Diaz VS Marcus Davis, UFC 118.
- What a thrashing this fight was...went for longer than I thought it would, but still, the peppered shots from Nate utilizing his reach advantage while Davis' scar tissue remains the most consistent part of his fights...
