This reel of highlights from Ultimate Fighting Championships, tournaments in which men enter an octagonal ring and do battle by punching, wrestling, and kicking, begins by showing rotund Tank Abbot, who has since moved on to comparatively benign environs of World Championship Wrestling, being kicked to defeat by a much smaller opponent. Those sorts of surprises abound in Ultimate Fighting. The outcome is impossible to predict in a bout that may end, as one does on this video, with a flurry of punches followed by a knee delivered to a defensive opponent's lowered face, culminating by a final kick to the side of the head of the suddenly wobbly fighter. This sort of action will no doubt horrify boxing purists, and some of it will be too brutal for the tastes of those who prefer the cartoonish violence of professional wrestling. And while most of these matches feature fights between opponents who, rather than brawling mindlessly, cagily circle each other and choose their opportunity to strike, when the action does happen, it's vicious. Many of the matches draw blood, and it's not unusual for a man to suddenly pound his opponent unconscious. If you're a fan of the novel sport of Ultimate Fighting, you'll love this, but prepared to be shocked if you're not. --Robert J. McNamara
