Here is a great video of a female member of the Red Devil Fight team. It appears she'll be fighting at BodogFights.

Killer Chicken Wings - Advanced
Eric Paulson

approximately 55 mins

I really enjoyed this video. Eric is a good instructor, clearly demonstrating the technique and packs each display with a lot of the little tips that make a difference. Hand placements, hip movement, every little thing.

The video is more advanced than the first doing chicken wing/kimura attacks from the guard; top and bottom position. Rolling moves into the chicken wing and of course being Eric Paulson some defense against leg locks and some variations into leg locks when the chicken wing doesn't succeed.

The video is shot like a small seminar. Eric displays the moves and really defines the important parts of each. This is well captured with steady camera work and good angles. After each set of moves are displayed the tape breaks into a training the techniques section. In these parts the small group of people practicing are shown doing the moves. It is apparent that skill levels are different in the group giving an idea what various scenarios arise while training. All the while Eric is moving about and coaching each pair through the technique. This is invaluable as I am sure I have run into the very issues that Eric is helping these people through. A great idea.

If I had to pick something that wasn't the best, it would have to be sound quality. At times it faded somewhat but never enough that Eric can't be heard, I did have to turn the volume up twice to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Well worth the investment. I play this one a lot.

Ultimate Randy Couture

This video is about an hour long and picks up with Randy's last fight as a heavyweight, his broken eyesocket bone and coming back to fight Chuck Liddell.

Randy talks about his thoughts on his punching display in the fight against the Iceman and his head-faking the takedowns. Great input from Randy but I saw this fight before, I have it on tape to watch the whole thing if I want to, I don't need to see so much of it again. The first third of this show is about this fight.

At about 16 minute mark the show picks up. Enter Tito and the training footage and hype talk starts. That lasts maybe two minutes and we watch recaps for the rest of the twenty-five minutes given to this fight and Randy's comment on the spanking wasn't worth the wait.

On to Vitor Belfort twice. Not as an exciting opening to the segment as the last but just a replay of stock footage used in the PPV ads. Eventually works its way back to the second fight and Randy's insights. Unfortunately there was even less of Randy and more replay of an old fight in this segment. I almost hit fast forward. I saw this before and Randy's comments were about the colour of his shorts not the fight.

I consider Randy Couture an ideal person to use the term Ultimate Fighter, this program just did not live up to him. My verdict is unless it shows up in WalMart's discount bin don't spend money on this. If you can borrow it like I did from a chump friend who buys all PPVs, it can't hurt to watch.
