It's been said that most great champions have had to overcome great adversity. This is the story of the adversity that Jens Pulver had to overcome.

Jens, assisted by Eric Knauss, tells the story of a childhood raised by a loving mother and an alcoholic abusive father. The sport of wrestling allows him to focus his anger, but he drinks away an athletic scholarship in idyllic Idaho. Every time he almost gets out of the morass, his past comes crashing back.

The story ends with his Ultimate Fighting Champion title defense against BJ Penn, a prodigy who was a big favorite coming in to the fight.

The book contained much more emotional depth than expected. Readers expecting a detailed history of Pulver's fights will be disappointed, however. This is more about his personal struggles outside the ring than his battles inside the ring. The other potential shortfall is that the story is still unfinished. Since the book Jens has had a fall, and is the midst of a comeback. It would be interesting to read his take on that as well.

Just got done reading Jens Pulvers book. It took me only a couple of hours to finish it. That's how good it was.
What a compelling and excellent read for any sports fan. Talk about highs and lows that Jens went through. I was captivated when I started reading it and felt consumed to read on.
After reading it, I feel alot closer to Jens even though I've never met the man before. I feel for him and want to encourage and support him. That is how this book makes me feel. It makes me look at the things around me and not take them for granted because there are so many that are alot worse off than I.
This book is inspiring and motivating. I want to thank Jens and Erich for taking the time to write this book, it is truly a great piece, one that I will always keep. Much respect goes out to Jens for having the courage to step out in the spot light and share his "personal" story to the world.
Go ahead and get a book of your own: "Little Evil; One Ultimate Fighter's Rise to the Top" by Jens Pulver & Erich Krauss

This is a great book from start to finish. Once you read the first chapter it is very hard to stop. I had to pry it out of my hands to study for finals otherwise I would have read the whole thing the first day I got it.
I recommend that everyone read this book it is interesting from start to finish and doesn't hold anything back. He really went through some rough times before becoming the champion fans of mixed martial arts know today.

I am another person who has read this entire book in "one sitting"; in fact, it's the first book I had done that. The book itself is a very addictive story simply because of how many obstacles Jens has gone through since he was a child up until this publication (and even now if you want to follow up). If you read this, you will know what you need to know about Jens, and it will take you into the octagon in his fights and you can relive some of those moments, through his thoughts (which is very interesting) It is a must have for any MMA fan, but also, is one of the best books i think anyone can have on their shelves, simply because, this ain't fiction, it's "reality fighting".

surprisingly well written, moving story. this guy suffered a lot, and comes across as a real stand up guy. one of the mma pioneers. he should not be struggling these days - he should be retired from fighting and making a nice living doing commentary, running a gym, and promotions. is he not in the UFC hall of fame? he should be. as mma literature goes -- and the words 'mma literature' don't currently conjure very much which is worthwhile - this one is recommended.

Jens Pulver is a true warrior.. I have nothing but respect for him! I think it's amazing that Jens was the UFC champion but honestly he was a a true champion way before he entered the octagon. I read this book with a very open mind..open to the stories of Jens life and family background. A lot of what happened to Jens is a pure shame. Coming from a broken home with an abusive father, having a misguided brother, it's a wonder how Jens pulled threw the madness. Jens had to walk some hard roads alone. It takes heart to be the type of person Jens is! I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know Jens but also because I think a lot of people can relate to him in their own way! Jens Pulver is for the Hardcore!

I finally got around to getting this book. I'd read many great things about it. They all were true.

I've met Jens Pulver on a couple of occasions and he is always the nicest, most generous sports figure you will ever meet.

This is his story. It is a terrible one, but shows how people can overcome adversity.

I had high hopes going into this book, the same affliction that ruins a lot of good stuff for me. The bad was set incredibly high but in no way did this book let me down. I couldn't let IT down either, I was glued to the pages in every spare moment for three days reading this great tale of one man's story to fight his demons and conquer the world.

I recommend this book not only to MMA fans but to anybody with a heart. An awe-inspiring journey that pulls at your heart strings every step of the way until you find yourself cheering Jens along.

Wonderful book, worth more than it costs.
