Sometime, they're poor quality, recorder with a camera pointed at the screen. Most though, are good quality. But I wasn't familiar with this, so I'll give it a try.
By the way, the UFC was the best in the very beginning, when it really was a "championship", with no weight classes, just everyone competing for the same prize. It was a lot of fun, watching Marco Ruas, a rather small Gracie Jiu Jitsu fighter, just cut Paul Varelans. a 6' 8" 300lb giant. Ruas kept kicking his legs, until he could no longer stand. A real David vs Goliath, with a similar outcome as the biblical story, except that Varelans was still alive, if beaten, at the end of the fight. And when you won your match, you then went to the next fight, against one of the winners of an early fight. And if you had to go 3-6 rounds to win your match, you'll have less energy for your next fight of the evening. It really showed off not only the fighter's skills, but their stamina and conditioning as well. Those were the days when the UFC was at it's best.
