Bloody Knuckles: The MMAnthology

by Michael Paul Gonzalez, Carol Berg, Cameron Conaway

Why are we so obsessed with fighting? There’s an old bar ever cleared out because somebody ran inside and said “Everybody come outside! There’s two guys getting along in the parking lot!” Unarmed combat has enthralled audiences since the dawn of time. It’s primal. Visceral. Immediate. And often, necessary. Bloody Knuckles collects a variety of two-fisted tales and real life reports that explore every aspect of the fight game. The underground, the amateurs, the pros, and the faded glory of aging warriors. Open the cage door and step inside.

Reviews

[Jeff Schapiro · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's not a literary masterpiece, but some of these stories are really captivating! I contributed to this particular anthology, and there are some really talented authors who also put their two cents into this piece. I would really encourage anyone, especially those who have a passion for boxing or MMA, to check it out.

Sure I give it 5 stars, but then again my story's in it. I'm a fan and proud of this collection. I hope others are too.
