Product Description

Product Description

Ultimate fighting -- mixed martial arts competition between professional fighters which includes ju-jitsu, judo, boxing, kick0boxing and wrestling techniques -- is among the fastest-growing sports in the world today, outselling and outperforming boxing and indeed any other ring or combat sport. Coming live to the UK in April 2007 UFC sold out the Manchester MEN Arena, followed by further sell-out perfomances in Belfast in June and London in September at the 20,000-plus capacity O2. Matt Hughes, nine times UFC World Welterweight Champion, with a record of 42 wins from 48 fights to date, is the most dynamic figure in this hottest and most happening of sports. Here he recounts his sensational rise to stardom, from growing up on the family farm in Illinois to breaking records in the octagon in front of 20,000 live fans and 4 million television viewers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get Chuck Liddell's book instead, 7 Feb 2008
By hobbes (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Have to agree with Steve Roach's review of this book. Hughes gives us a history of his life which leaves the reader feeling that he is just a nasty piece of work. He comes across as an arrogant bully, and not at all a likeable person. I would also agree that large chunks appear to be missing and he does not explain a lot of things that leave the reader wondering.
He may have told the truth about his life in the book, but i doubt it will make him any fans. Before reading this i respected him as a great fighter and champion, but now i'll be cheering for the other guy (whoever it may be).
The book's an easy read, nothing too complicated, and i read it in a few hours, but there were no great revelations.
I would recommend Chuck Liddell's book over this, as it is a better read and also includes more details on the UFC in general, and other fighters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bullys make good fighters, 18 Mar 2008
By K. G. A. Alavi (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a Matt Hughes fan since the Brawl at the (Royal Albert) Hall, I saw him fight, reverse and finally ground and pound Carlos Newton into submission.

I found some of this book interesting, all the parts about fighting were really well done, the part that did not come across as all well was Matt Hughes the person. He does come across as a bully at best at worst an ego manic that he has been accused of recently. Then again the UFC does not stand for the Ultimate Friends Championship; Matt is in his prime when he is talking about fighting, and his many victories. Unquestionably Matt is going to be remembered as one of the greatest welterweight fighter of all time, not for his sense of humour. I got a really mean spirited vibe from his sense of humour. All credit to Matt he did not lie or try and make himself look like something he is not.

It was interesting to get into Matt's head especially the second BJ Penn fight, from the books version Matt started the fight with a healthy respect for Penn's abilities, but the way he describes the fight it's self matt seemed to think he was dominating the fight from start to finish, if you actually watch the fight, it looked the other way around, which Matt admitted in the post fight interview "I knew I lost the first 2 rounds so I knew I have to win the next 3".

The one thing about this book is Matt's honestly, his attitude is this is what I think and this is what I am going to do I really don't care how that sounds like to anybody else and as you will find that gets him into trouble and on the bad side of more then one person, he wrote the book the same way. This allows the reader to make their own judgement of Matt Hughes good or bad guy. All in all top fighter.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD READ, TRUTH TOLD, 9 Jan 2008
By D. Rossiter (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
DIS-AGREE WITH THE REVIEW BELOW. IF U WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THE STUFF THAT HAS HAPPENED. THEN YOU WOULD WANT 2 READ THE TRUTH. IF YOU WOULD WANT 2 READ A BOOK, WHICH IS LIES JUST TO KEEP PEOPLE HAPPY. THEN WHY WOULD YOU WANT 2 READ IT???? I THINK IT GIVES A GOOD IN-SIGHT INTO THE EARLY UFC DAYS. A GOOD BUY IF YOU ARE A UFC/MMA FAN

It's true! The other revues tell of Matt Hughes the "Bully" and yes he is, but if you read the book you'll see that he had a strange backwater upbringing. Read more
