Synopsis

For fans of Ronda Rousey's My Fight Your Fight and John Kavanagh's Win or Learn comes the first book from UFC fighter and now analyst Dan Hardy, who lifts the lid on his own career and writes with insight and eloquence on all things MMA and UFC, the brutal and ever-evolving sport that launched such superstars as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, Georges St-Pierre, Nate Diaz and Amanda Nunes.

Dan Hardy's first book is much more than a straightforward MMA autobiography. Taking the key fights from his career, Hardy explores the sport with the unparalleled insight that has made him the best analyst working today.

From training in China with Shaolin monks, to how MMA helped him channel his rage, to psychedelics and the ceremony in Peru that changed his life, to tapping into his 'reptilian brain' and the psychological warfare of UFC, to his epic title fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Hardy also speaks eloquently of the heart condition that forced him to stop fighting, the road to recovery, and the evolution of a sport that flies in the face of mainstream disapproval to entertain and thrill millions of obsessives around the globe.

Goodreads review by Kelly on March 29, 2017

First of all, I am a big fan of Dan Hardy and his magical connection to his smartboard. He's a wonderful teacher and analyst, and he was/is a great fighter. His book is easy to read, both a great inside in the mind of a fighter, and the MMA culture in the early days in the UK compared to now. Very e......more

Good overview of career and background. Also talks about condition that stopped him competing as well as some discussion around his interest in psychedelics and what he got out of it......more

Goodreads review by Adil on July 14, 2019

I'm a fan of Dan Hardy's pre-fight and post-fight MMA analysis videos and if his autobiography captured only a fraction of that quality I'd have considered my money well spent. Fortunately it delivers. Just like in his videos he articulates himself well and it's clear he has a way with words. He doe......more
