HEAVY hitters.......2006-10-12

I love it when the title lives up to it's name. Here are the bouts:

NICK DIAZ VS. KOJI OISHI-I rememebr seeing this on Ultimate Knockouts. Koji is not a bad fightert at all and has made major improvements but can somebody tell me what the hell he was doing out there?

PAUL BUENTELLO VS. KEVIN JORDAN-my favorite fights are when the fight ends and both fighters immediately fall to the ground and need medical assistance.

DAVID LOISEAU VS. CHARLES MACCARTHY-great fight, if you don't have standup skills facing a guy like Loiseau you are in serious trouble. It is always commented on how Loiseau has the best elbows in MMA and while that is true, it is sad that a lot of fighters don't even practice the elbows.

NATE QUARRY VS. SHONIE CARTER-Shonie is back in the UFC but didn't seem like he trained hard enough for this one.

FOREST GRIFFIN VS. BILL MAHOOD-Mahood looks pretty tough but this is Griffin's first apearence in the UFC after the reality show and he has something to prove.

RICH FRANKLIN VS. EVAN TANNER-this fight wasn't near as good as I expected it to be. It starts off pretty good but you probably know who takes this one.

MATT SERRA VS. KARO PARISYAN-wow, fight of the night. We all know that Karo likes to bring the heat but what happens when he faces someone with the same mentality?

ANDRE ARLOVSKI VS. JUSTIN EILERS-I guess this is the reason this DVD got some bad reviews but did anyone actually expect Eiler's to have a chance?

Wrong Main Event Featured.......2006-09-28

UFC 53 - Heavy Hitters featured two (or 1 ½) title matches along with interesting match-ups to round out the card.

The night was kicked off with a fight featuring young, but experienced Cesar Gracie fighter Nick Diaz. Diaz had already 4 fights under his belt with only one loss against the talented Karo Parisyan. His opponent was Pancrase fighter who was experienced and versatile. Koji Oishi was a solid fighter who had many decision victories in the Pancrase Organization. This fight Diaz and Oishi would end in an obvious knockout considering the strategy the loser would pathetically employ. Easily, the funniest fight of the night.

Canadian fighter David Loiseau and his sharp elbows was back to reestablish himself as a contender for Evan Tanner's 185lb belt. Loiseau nearly sliced Gideon Ray's head in two at UFC 51. In this awesome display, he lined himself up for a tough challenge against a UFC newcomer. As a smaller show standout, Charles "Chainsaw" McCarthy was pumped and ready for a shot at the big leagues. The fight between the Crow and Chainsaw would feature a rare spinning thrust kick that set up a match ending flying knee! A true highlight reel of a fight!

The sport of MMA has characters and veterans; the one fighter that has both of these two in check is "Mr. International" Shonie Carter. As a veteran of 50 MMA fights and other countless combat related arts, Carter was accustomed to a fight, regardless of what level. His charismatic behavior provides as a plucky comedy relief at times, but in the ring he is all business. This was to be his first fight in the UFC since losing via knockout to Pat Miletich at UFC 32 in June of 2001. His opposition this night would be against a veteran in age only, but certainly not a novice. A common misconception to most viewers of the UFC Cable TV series, The Ultimate Fighter, was that the fighters were newcomers. Such an example was Nate "the Rock" Quarry, who at 33 had already 7 fights and 4 years of experience. Still though he was a relative novice compared to his opponent. The Carter and Quarry fight would end with a stoppage following a solid punch that would send the losing fighter dancing around looking to find his balance.

Fresh off a UFC 51 knockout of Justin Eilers, Paul Buentello quickly established himself as a heavyweight with strong striking skills. His career started off in smaller shows, but he appeared to have found a home in the UFC. His opposition would be similar to him in regards to his path to the UFC. Kevin Jordan coming in had amassed a 6 fight win streak in smaller shows, but his test in the big leagues would be quite a task. The two former small show standouts would battle hard and a tired winner would find a submission in the end.

With a new "star" in Forrest Griffin, the UFC was now ready to test their Ultimate Fighter show winner against formidable opposition. In the Ultimate Fighter (TUF), Griffin dominated his fellow light-heavyweight opposition, climaxing in an exciting fight to determine the winner against Stephan Bonnar. Griffin was eager to prove he was in the UFC to stay. His first test would come against a tough Canadian MMA fighter making his UFC debut. Canadian fighter Bill Mahood was a standout in the MMA scene in Canada, but was scouted as an ideal opponent for the UFC's newest star, Griffin. Mahood recognized this opportunity, but also would try to use his experience to try to score an upset. Their battle would hit the ground and end in a text-book rear naked choke.

The only true championship fight of the evening would be next, unfortunately taking second billing to an interim Heavyweight championship match. This fight for the UFC Middleweight (185lb) championship would be a rematch of an earlier fight contested 2 years prior.

Rich "Ace" Franklin was a fighter on a mission. His goal was UFC gold he had been chasing for over two years, amassing an impressive 18-1 record. He was coming off a dominant TKO of veteran fighter Ken Shamrock in the Ultimate Fighter Finale show. The man standing in front of his goal was ironically the very same man he defeated in his UFC debut. Middleweight champion Evan Tanner is a true veteran of the UFC and MMA. He began his career in 1997 and saw his share of highs and lows alike. He made his debut in a victory over Darrel Gholar in 1999 at UFC 18. By 2001 he found himself face to face in the octagon against (then) Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortiz. His grand opportunity had arrived, but even the biggest experts could not have predicted the manner he lost his this opportunity. Within the first minute and first clinch, Ortiz ko'd Tanner via slam from the under-hook position. The loss devastated Tanner, but he remained determined to climb the ladder back. By 2003 he was almost back at the top of the light-heavyweight contenders list, but suffered a surprising TKO to a fighter making his UFC debut...that fighter was Rich Franklin. Two years later, both fighters found themselves down a weight class (middleweights 185lb.), but both fighting for the same thing. Franklin to capture gold and Tanner to retain what was presently his. Their battle would be bloody, but a clear winner would have his hand raised in the end. This should have been the main event.

The bout before the main event was next and on paper it seemed to fit the roll of perhaps the most exciting fight on the card. On one corner stood young Judo fighter Karo Parisyan who employed the best throws in the business, coupled with a dangerous Kimura. His opponent would be an equally exciting fighter who was a blackbelt under Renzo Gracie. Matt Serra jiu-jitsu is unlike many other MMA fighters. While other BJJ fighters focus on control and patience, Serra usually goes for broke and risks himself in the process of obtaining a victory. The two exciting fighters would clash, but the affair would be one-sided and not provide the fireworks many fans and experts alike predicted.

No one likes a title handed to them; it does little in regards to earning respect from fans, critics, and peers. In Andrei Arlovski's case, his inevitable fight against Heavyweight champion Frank Mir was scheduled, but cancelled due to a motorcycle accident Mir suffered. The UFC acted quickly and awarded the "interim" Heavyweight Championship to Arlovski in the hopes of drawing fans in. They put their new "champion" to the test in the card relying on popularity of hard hitting heavyweights. Andrei Arlovski certainly fit this description. His opponent thought would be a late addition and a clear mismatch on paper. Justin Eilers found himself in a unique position fighting for the interim Heavyweight Championship with a 1-1 UFC record. Still though, his strength could not be denied and the rumors of Arlovski's weak chin made this fight actually closer than most thought otherwise. Their battle would end in a very freakish manner, but the "interim" title would remain as Frank Mir healed his wounds.

Not the best, but better than I thought it would be........2006-08-03

There are some lame fights on this card without a doubt, but there are also some really good fights as well. Rich Franklin vs. Evan Tanner is an amazing fight to see and is actually worth the price of the disc. Good stuff... you should buy it!

absolutely horrible........2006-07-11

Just terrible and not worth the money. The fights are horrible and the fighters have very little skill. Puchase PRIDE instead where the best fighters in the WORLD come to fight.

an absolute joke of an event.......2006-07-10

UFC 53 is a joke of an event, especially the main event. The heavyweight division in the UFC is complete drab and this prematurely ending main event is no exception. You can tell that all these guys have very little skill compared to the guys in Pride and sometimes are akin to fat barroom brawlers.

Pride FC is the top organization in the world. Sadly, the UFC is far behind.

I LOVE IT!.......2003-01-22

This is a must get DVD for any Baseball fan and a Great gift for any Baseball fan. It has the complete 55 minute show about No Hitters, Perfect Games and Near Misses. It has a nice historical look at it and centers on the Multiple No Hit Pitchers Like Johnny Vandermier, Sandy Kofax and Nolan Ryan. The DVD has a special significance to me because I became a California Angels Fan (now Aniheim Angles) when I was 13 and that year (75) the first game I ever listened to on the radio (Dick Enburg and Don Drysdale Anouncing) Nolan tossed his 4th No Hitter Tying Sandy Kofax record at the time; on his way to 7 total, an unbeleavle feat. TheDVD also Hghlights the great pictures who did not get no no and the ones who had to wait a long time like Tom Terrific Sever. It also has bonus footage of the final three outs for no hitters by Sever, Saberhagen, Gooden, Leiter, Milton and Nomo; And a Nolan Ryan Workout. So I will reiterate This is a must get DVD for any Baseball fan and a Great gift for any Baseball fan.

Nolan Ryan Rules!.......2001-12-28

This recap of stellar performances by baseball's greatest (and sometimes lucky) pitchers is highlighted by Nolan Ryan's collection of no-hitters. In addition to a fun 50 minutes of highlights, the dvd offers a couple of great special features, including a menu offering the last inning of 6 different no-hitter games.

A great addition to any baseball fan's DVD collection........2001-12-28

This is a great video recapping outstanding pitching performances, no-hitters, and perfect games. It takes you back to the 1938 games of Johnny Vander Meer on up to the seven no-hitter's thrown by Nolan Ryan. A great addition to any baseball fan's collection.

Must view for Pitchers........2001-12-09

Nice view of some great pitching games from present back to the 30's.
