Filmed at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta September 6, 2008 UFC 88: Breakthrough places you inside the Octagon with a stacked fight card featuring 9 full fights including 2 fights not seen on Pay-Per-View.

If you’re a MMA fan your going to own this right as soon as it comes out if you haven’t already pre-ordered. UFC 88 proved to be one of the most spectacular events with almost every fight living up to or surpassing the standard UFC fans have come to expect. As a person who always thought of the UFC as a sport geared more for the Y chromosome crowd I was thoroughly impressed by what I saw on this 2 disc DVD. These fighters are disciplined sportsman who take their sport extremely seriously. There were very few fights with fighters showboating or simply acting the typical or stereotypical. For the most part it was all about endurance and outlasting the other guy. The later fights were more brutal and less enjoyable for me though as the bigger contenders put on a show and trash talked a bit. Still what your paying for is well worth the money you shell out. Other then the 9 fights you also get a second disc with extra long features that pretty much put the entire event into perspective; Weigh In, back story on the fighters, even further behind the scenes stuff that puts you behind the camera as well as promotional material for some of the sponsors (a very honest but somewhat candid interview with the UFC President on nutritional supplements that will take you aback). If you ever wanted to give this sport a shot this would be an excellent place to start and if your already a fan you wont be disappointed with the quality behind UFC 88 Breakthrough. Enjoy.
