Guest Ironman Posted July 23, 2002 Report Posted July 23, 2002 I haven't seen any shootfighting since UFC a long while back and even then I wasn't much into it so I was wondering what are the best tapes out now? What tapes to look for, who to look for, what fights, etc.
Guest razazteca Posted July 23, 2002 Report Posted July 23, 2002 look for: PRIDE FC Sakuraba vs Gracie there are about 4 matches worth watching Sakuraba vs Vanderlei Shamrock vs Don Frye UWFi was a work shoot fed that have Takada vs Vader for NWA/WCW title. Billy Scott and Gary Albright had good fights in UWFi. Kimo vs Bam Bam Bigelow
Guest Singular Posted July 23, 2002 Report Posted July 23, 2002 The first non UFC video I bought was Pride GP 2000. It's pretty well rounded, and sparked my intrest in Pride. Pride 21 has Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama in one of the best MMA fights I have ever seen.
Guest Army Eye Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 I think Pride 10 is a good one to start on. Lots of the big names you need to know and the fights are awesome. One of the best MMA events ever.
Guest razazteca Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 you can really never go wrong with any PRIDE DVD, just pick the one that has the stars from UFC that you like.
Guest Ironman Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 Where do you guys buy your tapes (not DVDs)? Lookin for price/quality.
Guest Angle-plex Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 Pride 10 (Return of the Warrriors) is considered one of the best MMA cards of all time. I also like Pride 13 (Collision Course) and Pride 19 (Bad Blood). On ebay you could get about 5 Pride VHS's for about 20-25 bucks. In stores it costs 20-25 bucks for one.
Guest Ironman Posted July 24, 2002 Report Posted July 24, 2002 Thanks for the info, now it's time to OD on Pride tapes.
Guest TheyCallMeMark Posted July 25, 2002 Report Posted July 25, 2002 I would recommend the early UFC's (1-10 or so) especially the one with the exhibition Shamrock/Gracie match. It fucking rules it.
Guest Incandenza Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 Kimo vs Bam Bam Bigelow Was this a genuine shoot? I like what I've seen of Kimo, but I can't imagine Bigelow in one of these things.
Guest razazteca Posted July 26, 2002 Report Posted July 26, 2002 from what I have heard, Kimo totally destroyed Bam Bam Bigalow in the match, I think it was UWFi Japan?
Guest Incandenza Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 from what I have heard, Kimo totally destroyed Bam Bam Bigalow in the match, I think it was UWFi Japan? Okay, but was it an actual shoot, or just one of those worked things?
Guest Army Eye Posted July 28, 2002 Report Posted July 28, 2002 I have heard many times that it was a work.
Guest Angle-plex Posted July 29, 2002 Report Posted July 29, 2002 I though all matches in UWFi were works.
