Movie Reviews of Ultimate Fighting Championship Classics, Vol. 1
Movie Review: UFC 1 : The Beginning
Summary: 5 Stars
UFC 1 is the first mega event that brought mixed martial arts to the American people and media. It took place on November 12, 1993 at Denver, Colorado and was touted as a MMA event that had " No rules, No scores, and No time limits". It featured different styles of martial arts and fighting against each other. It was broken into 4 fights with 8 fighters.
Fight 1 featured Gerard Gordeau (Savate) vs Teila Tuli (Sumo)
Fight 2 featured Kevin Rosier (kickboxing) vs Zane Frazier (Karate)
Fight 3 featured Royce Gracie (Jiu-Jitsu ) vs Art Jimmerson (Boxing)
Fight 4 featured Ken Shamrock (Shootfighting) vs Pat Smith (Tae Kwon Do)
The fights were entertaining, but very short. Seeing 410 pd Tuli rummble after Gerard was crazy, and seeing boxer Art Jimmerson try to fight Royce with one boxing on his left hand was ridiculous. The Royce/Jimmerson was the worst, with Jimmerson basically tapping after Gracie took him down and lied on him. The event champion earned $50,000, and went on to become a MMA household name.
The DVD is pretty bare as far as added features go. There are just the fights, plus 2 interviews with Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie.
As other have recommended, this is a must DVD for MMA fans to see where it all started, and how far MMA has come today!
Summary of Ultimate Fighting Championship Classics, Vol. 1
The booming popularity of "Ultimate Fighting" and all the attendant superstar DVD compilations in constant release has sparked a lot of interest for new fans to work their way backwards in the history of the "sport." The tagline on the box is, "In the Beginning There Were No Rules." Not much has changed in Ultimate Fighting since these bouts were documented in 1994--there are still no rules, and the hits, chops, body blows and blood are more real than anything that tame-in-comparison professional wrestling has to offer. Ultimate Fighting usually involves matches that pit fighters with two completely different styles in an octagonal cage. There's no corner to escape to -- no escape at all, in fact. Legends in this collection include Royce Gracie who demonstrates his own brand of Jiu-Jitsu, and Ken Shamrock, whose specialty is something called Submission Fighting. This is raw, brutal stuff, which is exactly what makes it so exciting for hardcore UFC devotees. --Ted FrySports DVD Video
