DVD Review: A real life "Bloodsport"
Summary: 3 Stars

Ultimate Fighting Championship II: No Way Out
March 11, 1994
Fillmore Auditorium,
Denver, Colorado, United States

The DVD: This is the entire ppv event played uncut with a brief Royce Gracie interview from 2006. Only 4 of the 8 preliminary fights were put on the DVD, and 3 of them can only be watched in the special features section, rather than integrated into the continuous broadcast. The missing fights are:
Johnny Rhodes def. David Levicki- Submission (Punches) rd1 12:13
Frank Hamaker def. Thaddeus Luster- TKO (Corner Stoppage) rd1 4:52
Remco Pardoel def. Alberta Cerra Leon- Submission (Armlock) rd1 9:51
Jason Delucia def. Scott Baker Submission- (Punches) rd1

The Event: The commentary and production quality are improved over UFC 1, but still pretty goofy to look at/listen to. This is the only ever 16 man, one night, single elimination tournament in UFC history. Ken Shamrock was scheduled to compete in the tournament, but was forced to back out due to injury. This is the very first appearance by Big John Macarthy as referee.

The Fights: This is a very unique event in UFC history, and arguably the single event that sparked the controversy that nearly shut the sport down in the years that followed. The rules of UFC 2 were that the only way a fight could be stopped, was by the corner, or by tapout. The referee had absolutely no power to stop the fight at any time unless the fighter tapped out, or the corner threw in the towel. This is the one and only time that this was ever a rule in the octagon and led to several of the most brutal Tko's in the entire history of MMA. As with UFC 1, there were no rules whatsoever, Anything was allowed including groin strikes, and hair pulling. No gloves, and no weight classes either.

The real highlight of this event is Royce Gracie running the table and using clean, Brazilian Ju Jitsu to win 4 fights in one single nignt. This is Royce's finest performance, defeating a Karate striker in the first round, then nearly breaking Jason Delucia's arm in the second. His epic topling of 260 lb Dutch grappler Remco Pardoel in the 3rd round, then uppsetting the brutal Pat Smith in the finals cemented him as one of the greatest martial artists of all time, and Brazilian Ju Jitsu and grappling as a whole as a premier Martial Art.

There is a wide variety in the size's, and martial art's backgrounds of the competitors in the event, with a cast of fighters remeniscent of the film "Bloodsport" and each fight presented as a "Style vs Style" confrontation. Pat Smith vs Scott Morris, and Remco Pardoel vs Orlando Weit are two of the most brutal knockouts in UFC history that occurred at this event. Due to the rules, Big John just stood there and watched the unconsious fighters take repeated blows until thier corner would finally throw in the towel. Due to the variety of fighters the rest of the sloppy fight card was fairly entertaining as well.

Even without the prelim round this is a classic tournament, both in its Violence, and its Ju Jitsu performance that changed martial arts forever. A great, real life heroic performance by Royce Gracie, and a wide variety of worldwide martial artists perticipating in the tourny make this a fun watch.
