UFC: Best of 2008 [DVD]

Amazing picture in Blu Ray. All fights featured were shot in HD. Box says 1080I. I believe Blu Ray player upscales to 1080P. Definetely a notch above the PPV HD broadcasts.As others stated, there should have been more complete fights included on each disk since since Blu Ray discs support 50 Gigs of data. I would have liked to have seen Hendo/Anderson, Machida/Tito, and Lesnar/Herring complete fights. Also, a few of the e Fight for the Troops main card. UFC should include some easter eggs in their DVDs. If your a UFC/MMA fan this is required buying at the current cheap price for a Blu Ray.

To the previous reviewer who wanted to know what the "packages" are, they are basically clips/promos. For example, the Evan Tanner package is probably like 3 minutes of an Evan Tanner tribute. The fight for the troops package is just a 3 minute promo/summary of that event.I just watched this today. I always order UFC PPV events in HD and this blu-ray is certainly better quality. This is a must for any UFC/MMA fan.

I am a huge fan of the ufc and mixed martial arts in general.This dvd has some of the best fights from 2008 in the ufc. Overall they were all good with the standouts being the brock lesner fights and any of the light heavyweight fights. The only problem that I had was that they didn't have all the best fights which included some of the anderson silva and lyoto machida fights. Instead they just had 3 miuntes montages of a few different fighters of what they did in 2008. I wish they actually showed the whole fights that are presented in these packages, but they just don't. Other than this one complaint the set was exellent and any fan of the ufc from the casual to the hardcore should get it.

This DVD truly showcases the quality of the Blue Ray disk. The picture is dazzling -- extremely crisp and colorful. And, the show itself is very well put together. I can easily see myself watching this multiple times. If you are a UFC fan, this is a must-buy.

Recieved UFC: Best Of 2008 from Amazon. Kind of strange how they decided to include 2 25GB discs instead of putting everything on a 1 50GB disc.The picture quality is pretty good.The content is:Disc 1 (21.1GB)Penn Vs StevensonPenn Vs SherkSt-Pierre Vs SerraAnderson Silva ProfileJardine Vs SilvaFight For The Troops PromoEvan Tanner TributeMir Vs LesnarCouture Vs LesnarMir Vs NogueiraDisc 2 (23.4 GB)Jackson Vs GriffinJackson Vs SilvaUltimate Fighter PromoLiddell Vs EvansGriffin Vs EvansBonusUltimate Comebacks TrailerTop 5 Knockouts Of 2008Top 5 Submissions Of 2008UFC Behind The Scenes (33 minutes)

My Son loves it. Great to watch the best of the best in past years and see who is still around and what they did to get where they are.

Very good

I would recommend this to anyone who likes cage fighting. It requires excellence in so many disciplines, and it is exciting to watch. I like the CDs showing the full fights, as this does.

I'm a big UFC fan, so I jumped at the chance to get hold of this 2-disc Blu-Ray, just to see what the UFC is like in Hi-Def. It did not disappoint!!!!Great news for UK UFC fans is that this US Import will play on UK players so there is no need to wait for a UK version to be released!!As I said, the picture quality is awesome (just look at Joe Stevenson's cut against BJ Penn - I knew it was bad, but not THAT bad!!! Jeeeez!!) and has to be seen to be believed!!Highly recommended, without hesitation, and at this price it's a steal!! Below is the details and the Fights that can be found on this great Blu-Ray:-Video Quality:-Still 1080i with two channel Dolby Digital.-Video is in VC-1 Codec with a great Bit Rate climbing well above 30mbps at points-The UFC in 1080i is just unbelievable, it is so crystal clear.-If you skip ahead a chapter it takes you to the next round. Great work UFC-The UFC must not want to have paid for image rights to the fighters on the intro tale of the tape video. Instead of their photos it shows the flag of the nation they are from.-The Fight Clock is redone with the Best of 2008 and the octagon timer in the middleIntro:Mike Goldberg walks you through everything that went down in 2008. Starting with BJ Penn capturing the lightweight championship all the way to Sugar Rashad beating down Forrest.The introduction ran a total of about 6 minutes before the fights started.Fights in Order-BJ Penn vs Joe Stevenson-BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk-GSP vs. Matt Serra-An Anderson Silva year recap showing him dismantling Dan Henderson, Patrick Cote and James Irvin.-Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine-UFC Fight for the Troops video package. Oddly they did not show Corey Hill's leg breaking in half or the various other carnage that occurred at that event.-Evan Tanner Video Package.-Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir. This fight still upsets me simply based on the fact Lesnar was docked a point and the fight was stood up due to Frank turtling into a ball.-Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture.-Frank Mir vs. Antonio Nogueria-End of Disk 1 with a recap of who the contenders are for all of the belts defended in Disk 1. Montage of Kenny Florian shouting "I want BJ's Belt", Nate Diaz flipping the bird, Thiago Alves tearing Matt Hughes ACL, Gabriel Gonzaga and Cheik Kongo's rise back to the top of the Heavyweight Heep. Michael Bisping also gets some face time, Damien Mia's sick triangle choke of Ed Herman is shown, Lyoto Machida is shown knee's Ortiz in the ribs.On to Disk 2-A quick recap of the Ultimate Fighter reality show and how it was a springboard for new champions-Forrest Griffin versus Rampage Jackson.-Rampage Jackson versus Wanderlei Silva.-Chuck Liddell versus Rashad Evans. Probably knockout of the year in this one-Forrest Griffin versus Rashad EvansExtra Features-Promo for UFC Ultimate Comebacks-Top 5 Knockouts of 2008. Rumble Johnson's KO of Kevin Burnes is in this reel.-Top 5 Submissions of 2008. The only place I know of where you will find the imfamous armbar by Dustin Hazlett in High Definition!-Behind the Scenes for 2008. Here you get to see some behind the scenes footage from BJ Penn's defense against Stevenson. Bob Cook can't shut up about how great BJ is. I won't spoil anymore of this, but it's 30 minutes long and totally worth watching.

Great blu ray, but I bought it on the advice of the comments above saying that it plays on uk players. It does work on the blu-ray player I have tried as well as on a PS3, but it doesn't work on my laptop blu-ray drive which is disappointing. So beware!

２００７年度版に続いて購入しました。ＰＲＩＤＥ無き今、国内団体は幾つかあるものの世界最高峰のリングと認めざるを得ない米国/ＵＦＣのベスト版です。どれもこれもベストマッチばかりですが、特におススメなのは・ヴァンダレイ・シウバ×ランペイジ・ジャクソン・ラシャド・エバンス×チャック・リデルの２試合です。ノックアウト好きにはたまらない、一撃必殺決着の試合です。一点不満なのは、２００７年度版のベストに比べて収録試合数が少ないこと。２枚組なんだったら、２０試合位は収録してほしかったなあ‾
