Almost perfect event - 4.5 stars.......2007-08-08

UFC 68 had one of the best main cards up until that point, since it included a hall of famer (Couture) coming back for a title fight against Tim Sylvia, and two former champions Hughes and Franklin staging their return after losing their title. And if this does not get you pumped, you also get to see "Babalu" against Lambert, which on paper is one of the most promising bouts in this card for those that like Brazilian Ju-Jitsu.

But this DVD has a lot more to offer than the main card, with some preliminary fights that are worth watching. In Varner vs. Gilliam you get to see some great Ju-Jitsu with a nice submission. This is followed by another lightweight fight, Tibau vs. Dent, which develops mostly on the ground, but it is more of a struggle between the fighters for keeping / passing guard. This is not a bad fight, but it is one of the most disappointing in the card. Fitch vs. Fioravanti kicks up the pace again and we get a nice combination of stand-up action, grappling and ground game. The final under card fight, Hamill vs. Holman, can best be described as a slug fest, but it looked to me as if both fighters lacked in the technique department.

The first fight in the main card features the return of Babalu after his lost opportunity to capture the title in his fight with Lidell. As I already mentioned, since I really enjoy Ju-Jitsu this fight had the potential to be extraordinary, and I was not disappointed. I was surprised though by how the fight ended, one of the best KO I have seen in a long time. Hughes vs. Lytle is basically a ground fight, but both fighters keep active this entertained me throughout the duration. One of the things I really like about his card is the differences in style among the fighters, and we go from a pure ground fight to a stand up war with some ground action between Franklin and MacDonald. The final bout before the championship fight, Kampmann vs. McFedries, showed a nice combination of skills and a beautiful submission.

And then there was one fight left, but what a fight! Forty-three-year-old Randy Couture coming back from retirement, to go against one of the most dangerous strikers in the UFC. It seemed lunacy, but these two guys put on an amazing show that will be remembered as a classic. Overall this was a great event, with only one fight really missing the mark. 4.5 stars.

Newman is a master of the English language and has a rare ability to keep John Deed fresh, spunky, smart and funny. Just as good as series one and two.
