Publisher's Synopsis
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. Journalist Clyde Gentry has conducted more than 80 interviews to piece together the sport's origins in Brazil, its spread around the world, the political battles, vilification and banning orders, and the stories of the sport's stars.'
