Excellent Book For UFC Fans

This book is an excellent introduction to the world of ultimate fighting. The book starts with a nice history of the sport, and adds other nice bits of history throughout the book. This is followed by an in depth look at the rules of ultimate fighting. Finally we get in to the real meat of the book. Discussion and examples of all the different fighting styles. It starts with a discussion about stand up and clinch fighting. Then it takes it to the ground with chapters on the guard, half guard, side mount, and full mount. There are lots of pictures to explain all the different techniques. Then it's on to suggestions for training. The book closes with a nice bio of Rich Franklin. I also liked the fighter profiles throughout the book, the used a very good mix of hall of fame fighters, and new talents. Another added bonus was little sections on classic fights. This is great for the new ultimate fighting fan because it can help them track down must see classic matches. In closing I think this book is exactly what it claims to be, if you are new ultimate fighting fan it will get you up to speed quickly.
