Iceman: My Fighting Life

WHATS 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?- I KNOW . . . Ive been called the baddest man on the planet.- Im the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the fastest-growing sport in America.- In 1998, I won my first mixed martial arts fight.- Not long after, the UFC came calling, and I eventually fought my way to becoming the number-one-ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world.- Not bad for a bartender with a college degree in accounting. 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, at 62, 220 pounds, Im a trained lethal weapon.- But Im also fiercely loyal, maybe even a bit sensitive. This is my life both inside and outside the Octagon - from the bloodiest battles of my career, to balancing life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar.- With never-before-seen photos, Iceman is the true, no-holds barred story of my fight to become a champion.
