It was a hot July 6th, 1997 in Brazil when promoter Sergio Baterelli changed the world of fighting. With the Ultimate Fighting Championship being turned into a regulated sport in the U.S., the I.V.C. (International Vale Tudo Championships) reigned supreme as the only "No Holds Barred" and bare-knuckle fighting promotion on the planet. For the next few years, the I.V.C. would produce the most brutal, bloody and hardest-hitting shows ever witnessed. Uncut, unedited and newly restored digital video off the Brazilian TV masters. Elbows, headbutts, knees, head kicks and everything that made the I.V.C. legendary are brought to life on DVD for the first time. - Egidio da Costa vs Lucio Carvalho - Gary Goodridge vs Augusto Menezes - Santos Cal Worsham vs Aloisio Freitas Neto - Pedro Otavio vs Brian Keck - Andre Cardoso vs John Gnap - Gary Goodridge vs Cal Worsham - Pedro Otavio vs Andre Cardoso - Dan Severn vs Ebenezer Fontes Braga - Gary Goodridge vs Pedro Otavio
