Pride – Hardcore Knockouts – Vol. 1 [DVD]

“Hardcore Knockouts” is the first in a DVD series containing clips of some of the best knockouts that have ever occurred in PRIDE events, going all the way back to the inaugural event in 1997. This DVD concentrates on six of the most exciting PRIDE fighters: Fedor Emilianenko, Wanderlei Silva, Mirko Filipovic, Igor Vovchanchyn, Chuck Liddell & Quinton Jackson. There is also a highlights package including spectacular action from Don Frye, Ken Shamrock, and the frightening Bob Sapp.

Extras on this disc are standard on PRIDE DVDs. Therefore, we have the short “What Is PRIDE?” documentary (which, despite its brevity, is still worthwhile for first-time viewers), a list of the PRIDE rules, a glossary of fight terms, and a “Greatest Hits” photo gallery. These extras are adequate considering that the main feature itself lasts almost two hours.
