UFC: The Ultimate 100 Greatest Fights [Blu-ray]

I already have it. I won't say how, but most of you probably already know how. None the less, here are my thoughts...for what they're worth. Since Ama*on doesn't delineate I will, I have the Blu-ray set and apparently, there are some differences in the extra content between the two so I can't comment about the standard DVD set. The HD video quality is all you can expect it to be. Older fights are kept in 4:3 and look like you'd expect, old....at times ancient, and the newer (obviously 16:9) look great. People who say this isn't great quality must not understand the process. These are live events. They're not going to look like film or high def DV cameras using 'film' lenses. So disregard the complaints about the video quality.

The reason I give it 4 vs 5 stars is some of the fights included, and some of the fights omitted. As far as missing fights, first, and foremost Lesnar vs. Mir II. Which is clearly left off because the 'UFC 100 Making History' disc has just been released. To me, this is BS. How can this be omitted but Lesnar vs. Mir I be included? (and towards the top of the list no less.) That fight was a lot of things, but one of the greatest? No, not even close. I would have accepted it's inclusion as a pre-text for II. But, without it, it seems pointless. I should point out that I'm not a fan of Lesnar or Mir, they both talk way too much trash and lack one of the main qualities that sets MMA apart. Respect. But I digress. A few of the fights included, just don't measure up. For instance one fight, which is essentially a wrestling match and ends in a decision. Perhaps a great match, but not very 'MIXED'. And there are a couple of boxing matches which would be hard to even pass off as kick-boxing. Maybe I'm being too particular, but I like seeing well rounded fights, with well rounded fighters. The bottom line is, if you love MMA you will love this set. As I mentioned there are questionable omissions an some odd choices included, but these probably only account for about 15 to 20 fights, the rest are golden. BUY IT!

i guess i just don't do punk. i know it's uncool to trash the ramones, but having 10,000+ songs ranging from jazz, rock, pop, dance, hiphop, folk, indie, and more, this moronic, puerile stuff leaves me cold. i disliked it in 1979 and it hasn't improved on sampling their 'greatest hits' today. i'm not prone to neg reviews but just had to burst the 5-star bubble. if this is your bag you'll know within the first 10 secs because it's all the same.

Mostly a lot of good songs. A few so - so ones but who does`nt try to dump in a few lesser songs in a CD?

Nearly forgot how much I liked Duran Duran as a teen in the early 80s.

Buy it and you will love it as much as I do.
