Good recap of the history of UFC and a biography of one MMA fighter (Pat Miletich) that generally paints the sport in a positive light. The writing style is mostly good, though the author's jumping between Miletich's life and the UFC in general is a bit uneven and he also jumps back and forth chronologically in places. The last couple chapters also sort of felt like they meandered on, hitting various remaining points left uncovered. It does have the advantage that the book is not a UFC-sanctioned publication; I get the impression any official history of UFC would be a bit revisionist, ironically something WWE is notorious for in their official biography/history books. It also gave an interesting but probably accurate presentation of UFC's president Dana White as a controlling jerk yet also an intelligent guy who will not BS you.
