Length: 2.75 hrs (DVD)

LITHUANIA BUSHIDO: THE BEST (Here we have a commercially-released Japanese DVD compilation of 
	the best fights from RINGS Lithuania.  These are all legit shoots.  This is basically 
	mid-level MMA, definitely not up to Pride or even UFC standards, but pretty good anyway.
	Worth getting to see Volk Han in a legit shoot and Fedor Emelianenko outside of Pride.
	I've got a digital copy of the master, so VQ is EX.)

	Aronas Juskevicius vs Bazigit Atajev, 10/24/00 (Spectacular spinning kick KO)
	Mikhail Ilioukhine vs Valeri Golubovski, 10/24/00
	Valeri Golubovski vs Iouri Bekichev, 5/12/01
	Andrei Kopylov vs Egidijus Valavicius, 5/12/01
	Volk Han vs Grom Zaza, 5/12/01 (This is probably a legit shoot, but there's definitely a 
		couple of things that look "fishy" about this one.)
	Kestutis Smirnovas vs Hirotaka Yokoi, 11/10/01
	Tadeushas Chilodinskis vs Vygandas Grazhys, 11/9/02
	Takayuki Ohkouchi vs Mindaugas Smirnovas, 11/9/02
	Rokas Stambrauskas vs Bitsadze Ameran, 11/9/02
	Mindaugas Smirnovas vs Naoyuki Kotani, 4/5/03
	Erikas Petraitis & Remijigus Morkevicius vs Takumi Yano & Masakazu Imanari, 4/5/03 (Wild
 		match.  Starts off incredible boring as one of the Japanese guys refuses to stay on his
 		feet and just flops to the mat rather than fight.  Late in the fight, that guy's partner
		throws a couple of heel strikes to his opponent's head.  As he's not wearing gloves,
		punches to the head are illegal for him, but not heel strikes.  His opponent's corner
		thinks he's throwing punches and yells at him.  He demonstrates the strike, there's more
		yelling and finally he flips off the corner man.  All hell then breaks loose as the 
		corner guy runs into the ring, the other opponent runs in and takes a wild kick at 
		someone and there's a near riot.  Then, just as fast as it broke down, order is restored
		and the fight is finished, complete with handshakes all around.  Weird.  And yes, this
		is a legit-shoot tag match.)
