Get in The Cage!
Ultimate Fighting.® The top brand name in the sport of mixed martial arts brings to mind visions of what it takes to survive: strength, skill, aggression, dedication, technique, physical, psychological, and emotional discipline, and all-out heart. Since its inception, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® events have embodied these traits.
Here, for the first time, is the authorized story of the UFC® - from its controversial beginnings to its current incarnation as an international sports powerhouse. You'll be taken inside the organization and learn its embattled history, in which the UFC® was forced to overcome numerous official and legal obstacles in order to succeed against the odds.
You'll also read about the incredible lives of the fighters themselves. Such legendary warriors as Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, B. J. Penn and Matt Hughes tell of their personal struggles, how they channelled their energies into becoming some of the most respected and feared men in mixed martial arts competitions, and what it takes to make it in the toughest sport since the days of the gladiators.
Featuring 125 action-packed photos, hard-hitting inside info, shocking revelations, and a foreword by UFC® fan and host of Fear Factor Joe Rogan, Warriors of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® is your guide to the ultimate in one-on-one combat.
