Just re-watched UFC 110, so Cain Velasquez vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Before UFC 110, it was Ben Henderson vs Anthony Pettis. What an awesome fight that was, and I don't really have anything to say that hasn't been covered with Pettis' "Showtime Kick."

A few Lightweight fights this time.
Josh Thomson VS Ashe Bowman, Strikeforce: At The Mansion II - Thomson found an opening and pounced, and that was it. Good stuff though, his high kick was great.
Mitsuhiro Ishida VS Justin Wilcox, Strikeforce: At The Mansion II - Fantastic ending sequence from Ishida, the armbar was a thing of beauty, and his standup wasn't too bad either, nor Wilcox's.
UFC 86:
Justin Buchholz VS Corey Hill - What a fight this was, the reach advantage on Hill and Buchholz seemingly having no answer (despite pulling guard twice and attempting rubber guard).Amazingly he found an opportunity in Round 2 after finding some success in standup, and got a perfect RNC for the win. Quite a thing to see.
Melvin Guillard VS Dennis Siver - 'The Young Assassin' shone here, really took it to Siver with precision punches, pretty much knocked the stuffing out of him. Siver's face afterwards told the story.

Watched UFC 109 last night. So obviously, my final fight was Randy Couture vs Mark Coleman.
Ordered NINE DVD's today though. Got 80-87 and 118 got released today over here in the UK so I snapped that up too. When they all arrive, my DVD collection will go from UFC 80 through to UFC 118 along with the Best of 2008 and Best of 2009, UFC 100 Greatest Fight Moments.
Of course, no collection is complete without a season or two of The Ultimate Fighter. BUT, I don't have one or two. I have 1-7 and 9. Season 8 comes out over here in February. Weird release timing as I've had Season 9 for about a year...

I'm sill working on my PRIDE collection since I want the Japanese versions which are stupidly expensive for DVDs, the only UFC DVDs I have are the Ones with Shogun fighting and some with Rampage I think I have around Six UFC DVDs .

I was fortunate enough to complete mine(well close. Dynamite 2002 is WAY too expensive) last year with Zuffa's releases.

FightDVD (where I get my brand-spankers UFC DVD's from is run by ClearVision, they used to do the WWE Video Tapes) has a lot of PRIDE DVD's. Once I've gone back to around UFC 75, maybe 70, I'll start on the PRIDE ones as I have never seen a full PRIDE event. Seen the odd fight or 6, but never a full event. On that note, any recommendations of where to start?

On that note, any recommendations of where to start? I assume you're just going to get the standard versions? I would get the PRIDE 2003 MW GP set or the Three events separately because it's probably the best GP ever, 2005 and 2006 where good too but the 2003 didn't have One boring fight and had everyone on it from Fedor to Wandy. It was the first PRIDE DVD I ever bought.

On that note, any recommendations of where to start? Checking out the website now. I'm surprised they have all the Grand Prix's in 4 disc sets. That saves a ton of hassle. Anyway: 2003 Middleweight Grand Prix 4 Disc set: Probably the best set out there with a TON of classic fights. If you like this, then you'll like most of the other PRIDE events. I can't stress enough how good this set is. 2005 Grand Prix set: Don't be put off by the first round of the tournament though. Its a complete dud with a lot of dull fights. But the tourny kicks into high gear the last 2 events. Pride 33: The Second Coming is a fun show. Diaz/Gomi and Henderson/Wanderlei 2 both deliver Shockwave 2004: Loaded card. You get to see Anderson Silva, Fedor, Nogueira, Crocop, Gomi, Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, Mark Hunt all in their prime. Its a long show, but totally worth it. -------------------------------- I'd say start with the 2003 GP first, if you like. Seems a little pricey, but I think that one would be a good starter for anyone looking to get into the company.

Spent £70 on Tuesday on UFC's 80-87 and UFC 118 (which literally just arrived, I know what I'm watching later!) so money isn't a problem. The 2003 MW GP is only £9.99 anyway (which is less than two hours wages), so I'm definitely going to get it after Christmas.

More from UFC 86:
Jorge Gurgel VS Cole Miller - Fantastic stuff from Miller, truly great performance from him, being able to submit BJJ black belt Gurgel in the dying seconds. Gurgel loves to focus on standup, and although he got some good shots in, Miller was brilliant here.
Gabriel Gonzaga VS Justin McCully - I wish this version of Gonzaga was able to have stayed in the UFC, as his precise leg kicks led to his mastery in top position, which then led to a quick as lightning kimura. Rogan said people love submissions, and that's as true as it gets.

A crap load of DVD's arrived for me yesterday and today. Not only did I get UFC 118 in the morning delivered to work, I got UFC 82 and 85 delivered to home yesterday afternoon.
THEN, I wake up this morning and ten minutes later, UFC's 80, 83, 86 and 87 arrive on my doorstep.
SO, I watched UFC 80. Best fight on the card was easily Paul Taylor vs Paul Kelly, but I really enjoyed Fabricio Werdum vs Gabriel Gonzaga too. Good event.

Another two from UFC 86 (great card):
Tyson Griffin VS Marcus Aurelio - Brilliant stuff here from Griffin, mixed up every attack he had, and was able to get some great shots inside Aurelio's guard. Aurelio did well too, but the exhaustion was setting in, and he had no answer for Griffin's wrestling abilities and improved standup.
Joe 'Daddy' Stevenson VS Gleison Tibau - Truth be told, I haven't seen many of Tibau's fights, but the ones I have seen, I have been impressed with his Jiu-jitsu skills on the ground and takedown ability (Josh Neer at 104 comes to mind). Stevenson to me is a good fighter, not a great one though, seems a tad on-dimensional due to over-relying on the guillotine choke. That's what did it here, and I saw it coming before Rogan or Goldberg did. The stuck omoplata was disappointing too.

Watching UFC 87 as we speak. Lesnar just DOMINATED Heath Herring. Currently at the preview video for GSP/Fitch now. Never seen this event before so I've loved it so far!

Krzysztof Soszynski VS Stephan Bonnar, UFC 110.
- Have yet to see the rematch between the two from UFC 116, but this fight was pretty good, despite the ending. Bonnar's got a great chin and kept moving forward, but Soszynski's strikes often found their mark. Good stuff.

Five fights from UFC 102 (edited; screened here on ONE HD):
Todd Duffee VS Tim Hague - What can you say about this fight that hasn't been said already?
Nate Marquardt VS Demian Maia - Or this one?
Chris Leben VS Jake Rosholt - Have seen this before, but good to see it again now that I actually like Chris Leben more now. Rosholt did well here, especially given that it was in Leben's hometown.
Keith Jardine VS Thiago Silva - Seen this one before too, and not that I hate Jardine or anything, I've just never been a fan of his. Silva look good here, the ending never in doubt.
Randy Couture VS Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - This fight ranks up there as one of the best I've ever seen, and proof positive of how incredible Couture and Nogueira are, as many people have said how much this fight lived up to the fight. It almost seemed like there was an aura of 'ring psychology' to it, it was that good. Amazing stuff.

God I wish that Big Nog vs. Randy Couture fight was 5 rounds instead of 3.

Some older UFC shows (38 and 39) which were a mixed bag; Genki Sudo's rolling RNC on Leigh Remedios was most definitely a highlight (in 38).
Also watched Frank Trigg VS Falaniko Vitale from Strikeforce: Payback which is quite possibly one of the worst fights I've ever seen.

Watched UFC 67 last night, with Edgar/Griffin being a highlight, the rest of the card so-so.
