Elected by Bleacher Report as the most dangerous and violent fighter of world MMA, undefeated for five years, two months, and nineteen days, holder of the belt defence for the middleweight belt (four for Pride) and number of wins (twenty-two for Pride), Wanderlei ‘Mad Dog’ Silva, is more than a living legend and athlete. Some people misjudge Wanderlei because they don’t know him personally. This is your chance to get to know the real Wanderlei Silva. This book shows the human side of this icon and will inspire you in your personal, professional, and sports life. Wand’s journey shows how to put together simple, honest, functional plans to get results. If a boy whose family had no connection to the hardest, toughest, and most competitive sport in the world could climb to the top of that mountain, what could keep you from reaching success. If Wanderlei, with all his upward battles, with all the ‘no!’s he heard all his life, could do it, you can, too! All it takes it to believe and to want it. Just don’t give up, get out of your comfort zone, and tread out into unexplored fields, fearless of what may come. This biography will inspire you, encourage you, and certainly challenge you to change some assumptions that keep you away from being happy and taking what it yours. More than the story of a champion, Wanderlei Unleashed tells the story of a normal kid from the outskirts of Curitiba who won the world through sports. No matter what leashes and collars they tried to put on him, Wanderlei faced life head-on, showing who’s boss, and he won. We are all the protagonists of our own lives and leashes are always there to be broken, be it by wit, strategy, or just plain fighting!
