UFC 100: Making History Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


UFC 100: Making History debuts on Blu-ray with a good 1080i, 1.78:1-framed transfer. Like the other recent UFC/Starz releases -- Ultimate Knockouts 7 and Ultimate 100 Greatest Fights, the quality isn't going to compete with a newly-minted, big-budget feature-length film, but the event delivers a clear, nicely detailed, and abundantly colorful viewing experience. UFC 100, like its other high definition brethren, offers a fine array of nicely rendered hues. Whether the Bud Light advertisement that's seen in the center of the Octagon, the brightly-colored shorts worn by the competitors, or the bright red blood dripping from Mac Danzig's forehead, the disc never misses a beat in color reproduction. Detail is appropriately high across the entire spectrum, from freckles and tattoos on fighters to advertisements on the competitors' shorts. Graphics -- whether the countdown clock or the "tale of the tape" introductions that list a fighter's place of birth, height, weight, age, and reach -- are sharp and nicely rendered. All in all, UFC 100: Making History delivers a pleasing high definition experience within the context of its original presentation.

UFC 100: Making History Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


UFC 100: Making History features a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack, available both in English and Spanish. Despite the limited source, it offers a crystal-clear presentation in every facet. There's a nice sense of reverberation when Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer belts out the names of the combatants. Background chatter and ambience throughout the Mandalay Bay Events Center spreads out nicely across the front, particularly as the crowd grows and becomes more rowdy when the Main card and title fights draw near. The buzzer that announces the end of a round has a nice sharp edge to it. Finally, the announcers' voices are crisp and clear, focused straight up the middle but intelligible and perfectly fine for the material. The 2.0 channel presentation leaves the presentation sounding a bit cramped, but it's suitable for what it is.
