UFC - Ultimate Fighter Season 5 [DVD]

the ultimate fighter season 5 is my favorite season of all time the return of the light weights bj the prodigy penn vs jens little evil pulver team penn Gray Maynard, Matt Wiman, Gabe Ruediger, Joe Lauzon, Rob Emerson, Andy Wang, Allen Berube, Noah Thomas team pulver Corey Hill, Nate Diaz, Brandon Melendez, Marlon Sims, Manny Gamburyan, Cole Miller, Brian Geraghty, Wayne Weems great fights every episode and a brawl at the house and the first time ever the coaches fight on the finale card

TUF 5 is the best TUF yet. The two coaches Jens Pulver and BJ Penn hate each other. Pulver comes across as some sort of hillbilly hick, while BJ Penn proves he has a good sense of humour to balance his steely fighter's demeanour. The contestants include some real weirdos, two of whom get into a fight at the Ultimate Fighter house and then promptly get kicked out by Dana White. Another of the contestants, Andy Wang, gets kicked off Penn's team! It's hilarious: Penn keeps intoning 'Wang you don't listen. Wang you're off my team. You're off my team, Wang. Get out of here, Wang. Go, Wang. Just go.' But Wang doesn't want to go. It's like the scene from Happy Days where Richie Cuningham tries to kick Fonzie out of his band, and Fonzie replies 'I'll think about it'. Then Wang manages to annoy Dana White, and he's the CEO of the UFC. Not a smart career move, by anyone's standard.The standouts among the contestants are Nate Diaz and Joe Louzon. The extra materials have footage of Joe fighting with his brother, and it's enough to make a father cry! They fight like men possessed, and it's pretty confronting. Diaz has twice the talent of many of the rest of them, and it's a pity he got stuck in the final with fighting a homunculus called 'Manny' - who immediately dislocated his shoulder - rather than someone like Louzon.The verdict - buy this season and watch it!

I'm on to the 5th Ultimate Fighter Season and I can't wait to have time to sit down and watch it.

Admittedly, I became an MMA fan long after the initial UFC wave engulfed our culture, however I am from Hawaii so it was somewhat obligatory to watch this season of TUF. It was a great season to watch, showing the first steps of some of the up and coming fighters we see today (Maynard, Manvil, Lauzon, Diaz), and the tension and burying of the hatchet between BJ Penn and Jens Pulver (even though Penn held onto the choke a little longer than needed haha). For people not from Hawaii or not accustomed to local culture, BJ Penn portrayed a lot of it throughout the season. This is why I am glad he is still one of the biggest stars of the UFC, showing a little bit of Hawaii to the world. This was one of the more entertaining seasons of TUF to watch and enjoy and highly recommend it to casual and hardcore MMA fans alike.

this ultimate fighter is based on lightweights(155lb) and they are crazy. they had some good pranks too, and they had a fight....but this time it wasn't in the cage. and most of the fighters are still in the ufc (nate diaz,cole miller,gray maynard,joe lauzon,and manvel gamburyan).in my opinion the best ultimate fighter ever.

I really enjoyed being able to watch this season.Delivery was accurate and satisfactory.Product in perfect conditions.

Really happy with my purchase. Item was as described, and fast shipping.

The series was good, but found it rather disappointing compared to the others. I didn't find it appealing as much.

If I had to pick a personal favorite series of the Ultimate Fighter, this would be it. The 55'ers were something of a lackluster bunch until this season came along, and coaches + bitter rivals Jens Pulver and BJ Penn breathed new life into the division. Many of the fighters this season have remained on the UFC roster, including Gray Maynard; Cole Miller; Matt Wiman; Manny Gamburyan; Joe Lauzon and upcoming lightweight title contender Nate Diaz. This season also features some awesome house drama. The utterly hilarious technical brawl between Marlon Sims and Noah Thomas is a personal highlight, and some of the comments the guys say after the fight will make you continue to laugh after the fight ends! Gabe Ruediger's desperate struggle with his weight cut will also have you glued to the screen.The most important season of TUF since the 1st one. BUY IT!

I think I've seen this series about ten times over. Seriously, I'm a UFC fan, my fella is an ADDICT!The best thing about Ultimate Fighter is the little dramas that happen during training and in the house. This series is no exception. The fighting is good of course. But the idosyncrasies are just fantastic in season 5. Who would have thought these macho muscle men were such drama queens.Brilliant series. A must have for any UFC fan for sure. ^^

Was comedy gold,spoiler alertWhen doughnut boy fell off the bike I nearly lost a lung laughing so much...

Great dvd and a great service

Awesome series
