You're bound to get some funny answers in this thread, but in seriousness, the best MMA book by a mile is A Fighter's Heart by Sam Sheridan. Really cool story about a guy who has never really trained before, and learns the various facets of MMA by training with huge names: The Miletich boys, the Nogeuiras, etc. It's very well written too. It's not written by a fighter, but it's definitely the best MMA book I've read. Information rich and entertaining.

Edit: here's the Goodreads link and the Amazon link.

Just goes to show good the book is! I've ready GSP's book, Chael Sonnen's book, and a few others, and neither compares to this one.

I read Forrest Griffin's "Got Fight?" a few years back. Pretty gosh darn hilarious.

War Machine & Peacemaker by Tolstoy?

I've been meaning to read John McCarthy and Gary Goodridge's books for a while now.

I enjoyed these MMA books:

And A Fighter's Heart was excellent.
