Let's nod to the forefathers of MMA: boxers, bullies, bulls, matadors. Carnivores who devoured the barriers and opened the minds of the people to the beautiful brutality the Octagon now exhibits. I enjoyed the book, Jarrah Loh. I did. You have done a superb job as a kind of the curator for high-brow violence. The original human expression.
Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, Randy Couture are gifts given by Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey.

Agree with the above review.
You can't get much better than this. I am a regular reader of Jarrah's MMA magazine in Australia, so I was keen to get my hands on this. As soon as you crack it open you can see it was a work of love. Amazing pictures, great writing and everything could ever want to know. Couldn't recommend it more.
