Book Overview
Everyone fights for something. These guys fight best. UFC's Ultimate Warriors profiles some of the world's most phenomenal athletes in a sport that combines finesse and sportsmanship -- and brutality and violence like nothing you've ever seen. Jeremy Wall's book details the struggles of the ten greatest fighters in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) history to become mixed martial arts' (MMA) "baddest dudes." Far from being an official list, this book is designed instead 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 Royce Gracie's jiu jitsu to the world of martial arts? How popular is Ken Shamrock really? Who else can compare to Randy Couture's accomplishments in the UFC? How did Frank Shamrock influence the way athletes compete in MMA? These are kinds of questions explored in this book.
With each 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.

Good Information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The author of this book tries to judge the top 10 fighters of the UFC, using his own criteria. The criteria is loosely based on the overall performance of each fighter and the lasting effect they had on the MMA world. The reason Tank Abbot made it is because Tank was the first to use gloves in the Octogon - something that all fighters use today. The veracity of the book can be argued about, but that is not to say that the book has no purpose. There have been many historians who have written about the top 10 American Presidents, but really there will never be any absolute criteria to prove which President is best - it can always be argued for or against. So this book has a place in the MMA world, and it is a fun and easy read, especially for MMA fans.
