Rarest MMA DVDs you have

[Reach4theSky]

I had a Ken Shamrock training video on VHS in the 90's. I THINK this may be it, but not sure. I lost it after I moved from my parents house..

Cool thread, thanks for sharing bros.

They are sweet.

I have someone checking out the suppliers in Japan for me to provide a price so fingers crossed I’ll have them soon enough.

Nice. Good to have contacts over there. I saw some Japanese version Dream DVDs on eBay years ago & would have loved to buy some, but they were about $100 AU each, so had to pass. Hope you have some luck & can get for a reasonable price.

Of course, I’ll have to dig them out because I have them in storage away from moisture and sunlight but I’ll get it sorted.

But I have these left out to frame and hang at some point.

You never forget your first.

I’d love to see your collection.

Awesome!. They appear to be in great condition from what I can see.

I 'll share some other pics soon. Just have to go through some tubs I have them stored in.

Holy shite!! Never have I seen any laserdisc MMA or even knew that they existed on that format. They should be in the smithsonian Thanks for sharing.

Gina Carano last fight. She got smeshed.

KOTC has very few pages, but I like the cover & it has the rules inside.

Forgot I had AFC 2. Don't know many fighters in it, but it does have Dan Hooker, Hector Lombard & Jesse (kicked out of UFC) Taylor.

UFC 100:


Elite XC has some well known fighters. This is pretty cool and if I recall correctly, the first Elite XC PPV they had.

 

[Van Daz]

Couple more programs. That's the only pancrase program I have.

The first 2 UFC's held in Australia, so of course I had to buy them.

Inoki wasn't cheap, but worth buying. UFC fan expo is average & not a program, but it was the first expo they had. Has some cool stuff though.

I have the crazy horse backstage incident

Just wondering what DVDs that some of you have collected over time that you found were hard to come by. Here are 4 I found hard to find.

View attachment 960483 Jungle fight is pretty cool. Besides having Bonner vs Machida on the event, the DVD included a small Inkoi figure.

I still have dozens of old UFC and Pride DVD. Many more have been lost to time. I lost old VHS like some IFC tapes. It's hard to say exactly, but I'll go with Pride: Cold Fury 2 and Pride: Championship Chaos.

IFC-1 Kombat in Kiev

I had this on VHS. Lost it many, many years ago. When Igor Gerus knocked out Gerry Harris, my brother jokingly said that it promoted white supremacy. But that was a pretty surprising KO, at least optically. You don't expect the little white guy to one-punch the BIG black guy.

Igor was a small, but powerful human wrecking ball. Like an early version of Fedor. Always liked to watch his fights.

They are cool events, bruz. Nice work, but sad to hear you lost some. Pride 1-8 were pretty generic covers, but they just got better as well as the events & production. Miss those times, but that just happens with age.

I don't have any Pride from the '90s. Just 2000s. Earliest UFC I have is UFC 2. My MMA fan journey as I recall it was early UFC from the video store on VHS in the mid-'90s. Kept watching UFC as well as IFC. In the 2000s, I would find Pride DVD at various stores. And also the UFC DVD from that time. And then at a certain point in the mid-to-late 2000s it just no longer made sense to get DVD.

Here's a bit more than half of the UFC & Pride DVDs I have.
