UFC’s Ultimate Warriors: The Top Ten

Description

Everyone fights for something. These guys fight best. UFC’s Ultimate Warriors profiles one of the world’s most phenomenal athletes in a sport that combines finesse and sportsmanship — and brutality and violence like nothing you could have ever seen. Jeremy Wall’s book details the struggles of the ten greatest fighters in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) history to develop into mixed martial arts’ (MMA) “baddest dudes.” Far from being an official list, this book is designed as an alternative to generate debate among MMA fans about who the greatest fighter is, by exploring the lives, careers, fights, and accomplishments of UFC’s most prominent athletes. Just how influential was once Royce Gracie’s jiu jitsu to the world of martial arts? How popular is Ken Shamrock in reality? Who else can compare to Randy Couture’s accomplishments in the UFC? How did Frank Shamrock influence the way in which athletes compete in MMA? These are varieties of questions explored on this book. With each and every featured biography, a career is broken down and analyzed with a fine-toothed comb. This book is an exploration and celebration of mixed martial arts as both a sport and a business, defining what makes its greatest contributors — the legendary fighters — so great.
