Part Reptile: UFC, MMA and Me

Description

For fans of Ronda Rousey’s My Fight Your Fight and John Kavanagh’s Win or Learn comes the primary book from UFC fighter and now analyst Dan Hardy, who lifts the lid on his own career and writes with insight and eloquence on all things MMA and UFC, the brutal and ever-evolving sport that launched such superstars as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, Georges St-Pierre, Nate Diaz and Amanda Nunes.

Dan Hardy’s first book is a lot more than a straightforward MMA autobiography. Taking the important thing fights from his career, Hardy explores the game with the unparalleled insight that has made him the most productive analyst working these days.

From training in China with Shaolin monks, to how MMA helped him channel his rage, to psychedelics and the ceremony in Peru that changed his life, to tapping into his ‘reptilian brain’ and the psychological warfare of UFC, to his epic title fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Hardy also speaks eloquently of the heart condition that forced him to forestall fighting, the street to recovery, and the evolution of a sport that flies within the face of mainstream disapproval to entertain and thrill millions of obsessives all over the world.
