Only 1 Beef:
I love this DVD because it alows me to relive alot of the memories from an awesome UFC weekend in Montreal. I agree with most of the reviews I've read here.

Serra is one of my all time favorite fighters ever, his skill mixed with his charisma and excellent sense of humor are great. Also he is... more info
Rocky 4, Shock the World Twice? Or the Real GSP?:
Trash talk is essential! And in the UFC, MMA, sometimes to promote a fight, it is highly imperative. We all know how Matt Serra shocked the world in UFC 69, and in the first round with a TKO against GSP. But has Matt Serra prepared himself with the same skills, or is he putting on a trash-talking clinic? Has Matt Serra crossed the line? With cutting remarks such as, "Hey Frenchy, go back to your red wine and Hockey game!", did Matt Serra set himself up? Georges St-Pierre is ready to answer back in the... more info
