If you have any interest in martial arts especially the origins of U.F.C and Pride this book will be your cup of tea. Well written, though dated at this point in time, consider "Brawl" a history book of Mixed Martial Arts.The sport has evolved in a good way.The early days certainly focused on brutality as opposed to skill.Apparently the spirit of the Roman gladiators and the people who watched them lives on.

for those mma fans that are just getting in the sport, this book is for you. it catches you up on the hard work and adversity ufc has gone through, and what the original veteran put up to keep the sport alive. i recommend this is your first read before anything else.

Krauss' work is essential reading for UFC fans who are late arrivals to the sport and want to know how it all got started. Many major bouts in the early days of UFC are discussed and also Pride receives a tremendous referencing.
