best ufc/mma books of all time

[milperday]

what are you top five?


1. GSP, The Way of the Fight

(Great info to become a champ, http://mmaquotes.blogspot.ca/2013/07/10-great-quotes-from-gsps-way-of-fight.html)

2. Urijah Faber, The Laws of the Ring (Very motivational and talks about pursuing passions)

3. Sam Sheridan, A Fighter's Mind (In depth looks into MMA sports psyche)

4. Nick "The Tooth" Gullo, Into the Cage (Amazing pics of behind the scenes stuff etc; interesting guy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvuIWsEgxJg)

5. UFC Encyclopedia (Great pics and resource)


Also "A Fighter's Heart" by Sam Sheridan is good too.

"Me" The Sakuraba biography was awesome.
"Pride Secret Files" has background stories on behind the scenes stuff from pride (like matches they tried to make and never happened, and the plans for the 2007 LW GP that never took place) is also an awesome read.

They only came out in Japanese, but I got them a couple of years ago from this website. This guy had translated them in to english in his spare time and for a small donation fee you could download them. He did a fucking great job too, 2 of the best mma related books I ever read.

both of forrest griffins books are fantastic.

I've heard that GSP's reads like a poorly written self-help book, but I haven't read it personally.

I haven't read any fighter books yet, but I've got Forrest's "Got Fight?" I'll pick through it eventually, just so much other stuff I'd rather read.

I'd read this if it were in english

Chael sonnen voice of reason

 

[eXtv]

Pound for Pound: The Modern Gladiators of Mixed Martial Arts by Brian J. D'Souza has fantastic behind-the-scenes chapters on Georges St-Pierre (detailing his many managerial issues over the years and trouble dealing with the fame of fighting), Shogun (goes in-depth on his battle with injures and rise to the top in the UFC) and the final chapter on Fedor (insider info on when payment negotiations with the Yakuza went south, and how disillusioned Fedor became with fighting when he came to the USA).

Gotta love the misspelling

I haven't read the book, but it took him forever to write it and it sounds like a pretty big flop..I expected more from Tank as he was quite well spoken, well educated and had some unique wit about him but I think his lost all of that through getting pissed all the time.

Blood in the Cage was fantastic. I also liked BJM's book. Brawl by Erich Krauss was good as well.
