Ufc 43/52/57 Liddell Vs. Cout

Well, After being lost in the shuffle for well over a year because of a distribution problem/change over and only being released on a extremely limited run (through mail order DVD clubs) UFC 57: Liddell v. Couture 3 has finally seen the light of day and packed together w/ UFC 43 & 52. They call it Liddell vs. Couture: The Trilogy Box Set (Digipak)

UFC 57 Liddell v. Couture 3 is 2 discs. The 1st disc has the entire event, except for the walk in's, though liddell/couture are shown. The 2nd disc has a 20 minute liddell/couture behind the scenes feature that follows both fighters around before and after their classic 3rd encounter. It also has a 7 minute return of frank mir feature. Nothing extremely important, I kinda wish they added more to the 4th disc, they definitely had enough room to do so.

UFC 43 & UFC 52 are the exact same discs from there previous releases.

Don't let the 1 star reviews fool you. They already had one or two of the 3 events that this set includes. The third one is not available anywhere(except ebay) so this set is worth it if you dont have any of the three. This is a great trilogy set, not only because of the Couture vs Liddell matches, but because of the whole events of all 3. UFC 52 is by far one of the best UFC events I have even seen. Very much worth it!

I've seen a lot of reviews complaining about this set, mainly because it's the only cost-effective way to get 57 (seriously, it's $75 on Amazon [emphasis]used[/emphasis]). However, if you don't own 43 or 52, it's a great set. If you do own either or both, get this set anyway. If you need to, sell the other copies you have and get some money back, or use the others in this set as backup discs. Content-wise, these are excellent DVDs with amazing fights and the special features we've come to expect. Do your collection a favor and get this set.
