The book every martial arts fan has been waiting for, No Holds Barred tells the story of the phenomenal rise of "Ultimate Fighting", the mixed combat competition that has been labelled "the most dangerous sport in the world" and "human cockfighting". Its aim is simple: to find the best fighter, from whatever discipline, on the planet.

Essential Reading For MMA Fans
This book contains a wealth of information for a fan of mixed martial arts (MMA). Dozens of fighters and promoters are quoted, in many cases revealing insider information which is unavailable elsewhere (Eg. That the Gracies were planning on replacing Royce with Rickson when the competition in the UFC began to get tougher).

This book is in every way superior to the American edition (better edited, better format, more material), and I would recommend it even for readers who already have that version.
