5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Informative Perspective on MMA and it's Fighters, April 3, 2009

This review is from: Cage Talk: Inside the World's Toughest Sport (Hardcover)

The author does a real good job at giving you insight into his unique perspective on the UFC, MMA, and several of its fighters. He does this through insightful interviews and in-depth and revealing looks at some of the more common and also the most useful and effective techniques used in the cage. He does this not through the teaching of a particular technique like the left hook, a right cross, or even a high kick to the head, but through his narrative of actual fights were a particular technique was used with effective and often times devastating results.

And that barely begins to scratch the surface of what the author covers in this book. Of course I could spoil it for you and give you a really in-depth and detailed review of this book, but really what's the point. If you are a true MMA fan as I am, you will know that this is a must have book for you to read, and so is this book Ultimate Conversations: The Baddest Fighters on the Planet. I would also recommend the following books, if you haven't read them already.
