Volume two of these classic bouts from the early and mid-'90s includes fierce matchups between UFC superstar Royce Gracie and Jason Delucia (Gracie's own form of Jiu-Jitsu vs. Delucia's Kung Fu), a rare karate/karate brawl between Johnny Rhodes and Fred Ettish, along with more bloody kickboxing, Ninjitsu, Judo, Grappling, and Muay Thai that you can shake a barbed wire-wrapped stick at. The showcase is Ultimate Fighting's distinctive "Steel Octagon," where the bodies flail like rag dolls and the blood always flows freely. The production values of this vicious collection are none too professional and feel delightfully dated. The commentary is contagiously over-the-top (with Jim Brown again in the guest commentator hot seat) especially when the violence is at its peak. That's pretty much all the time, which makes UFC for die-hard, guts-of-steel fans only. --Ted Fry

Customer Reviews

Not what I thought it would be
I was very excited to see the original UFC's on DVD! I was disappointed with this one though, because the first round of fights are left off! The DVD starts off with the second round of fights. This is disappointing since this is the only UFC that had four rounds of fights!

Not for the squeamish
UFC 2. An event like no other. The only 16-man tournament in the history of the event, and the most brutal, vicious sporting event I've seen in my life.

A hapless 18-year-old gets a harsh education on what "showing up" means. Robert Lucarelli takes a beatdown, doesn't tap out properly, and suffers a second beatdown. Minoki Ichihara sees his entire fighting style rendered useless by Royce Gracie. Then Patrick Smith gets a piece of Scott Morris, and it's not pretty. And of course, Remco Pardoel vs. Orlando "The Gladiator" Weit, which produced the first truly frightening moment of this young event.

Faces get smashed in, arms get wrenched, and blood flows freely. In the end, however, it comes down not to violence, but skill. That's the beauty of it.

Note: The DVD has three first round matches other than what was shown on the PPV, which had to be shortened due to time constraints.

Great DVD. video quality.
I had these on video and the dvd's are the same quality with some interviews added. Just to clarify UFC classics 2 does contain the very last match of the first round. This is all that has ever been available as far as I know, including the video.
