[edit] History
The event featured the return of UFC legend Dan Severn, who faced Pedro Rizzo in a heavyweight bout. Severn lost early in the first round due to leg kicks to his knee. UFC 27 also featured the first UFC appearance of popular Pancrase fighter Yuki Kondo. UFC veteran Frank Shamrock replaced Jeff Blatnick in the announcers booth for this event.
UFC 27 was the fifth straight UFC event to have not seen a home video or DVD release. The UFC's parent company, SEG, was incurring financial difficulties and would sell the UFC just three months later to Zuffa LLC.
While UFC 23 through UFC 29 remained unreleased, Zuffa began releasing UFC home videos starting with UFC 30. In 2007, FightDVD released these events in double DVD sets; UFC 29 was released in this fashion with UFC 30 due to the odd number of unreleased events.
