review 1: As a MMA fighter and a fan of Pat and the Militech Fighting System that produced a lot of great fighters, this book was a fun, easy and fast read. It weaves Pat's personal biographical information with the rise of MMA and the UFC. One thing I really appreciated the author doing was justice to the art and the hard work that goes into becoming an elite fighter. It is a lot harder than it looks and the technique involved is far more than appears on the surface to the casual MMA watcher. Overall a good read, I would recommend it.
review 2: Hello. My name is Ellis, and I am a Mixed Martial Arts addict. There I've said it. To any of you who didn't know this about me you do now. I'm currently indulging in an MMA-related reading binge. After I've read all the MMA... more-related books in my public library system (which will happen too soon, unfortunately) I'll give it up for a while (which is good for my long-overdue Black History Month reading series).Now, more about the book and less about me. I liked this book. As the title accurately suggests, this book is mostly a biography of Pat Miletich and partly a look into the UFC and other elements of the MMA world. It was an interesting read. Pat Miletich was one of the first figthers that was a true mixed martial artist. Arising from the days when fighters from distinct and singular martial arts backgrounds would meet to determine the most dominant discipline, Pat Miletich was one of, if not the first to train in several of the most important disciplines (Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, Muay Thai, Boxing) and put his skills together semelessly in a way that made him a true MIXED martial artist. Thanks, Pat. You were a Pioneer. less
