Book Reviews of Iceman: My Fighting Life
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book about a month or so ago. I am a huge MMA/Chuck Liddell fan and MMA competitor. It took me 2 days to read this book from cover to cover.
This book gave me alot of insite into the life of Chuck Liddell and being an MMA fighter. It got pretty in depth to his process of becoming a champion. It was vivid in it's description of his fights, his personal life, and his thoughts and feelings.
If you are a Chuck Liddell or MMA fan, you will absolutely LOVE this book, like I did.
Summary of Iceman: My Fighting Life
"When I walk out of the tunnel, I can see the lights, hear the music, feel the crowd, but it all begins to close off as I near the cage. By that point I'm thinking, I've been training hard, it's time to focus....Every man is born with a fight-or-flight instinct, and mine is to fight. It always has been." -From the PrologueWhat's it like to have no fear, to make people cower in their shoes, to know the sweet satisfaction of knocking a guy out with a single, devastating punch? You have to read my book to find out. I've been called the baddest man on the planet. I'm the face of Ultimate Fighting Championship, the leader in mixed martial arts and the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998 I won my first MMA fight. Not long after, the UFC came calling, and eventually fought my way to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. Not bad for a bartender with a college degree in accounting.
I was raised by a single mother and inspired by my grandfather, a first- generation Irish American from Mafia-run Brooklyn. I learned how to fight at a very young age. Now I'm 6'2", 220 pounds, and a trained lethal weapon, but I'm also fiercely loyal, maybe even a bit sensitive, and unexpectedly romantic. In raw detail, and with total honesty, I'm going to tell you the story of my fighting life-both inside and outside the Octagon- including my childhood in the poor section of Santa Barbara, gritty insider accounts of my major fights, stories behind my trademark mohawk and nickname, my ongoing rivalry with Tito Ortiz and deep-rooted friendship with Dana White, and how I balance life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar-or try to, anyway. With never-before-seen photos, Iceman is my true, no-holds-barred story of fighting my way to become a champion.
