Learn the stories, history, and strategy of the sport's greatest
champions-in their own words! Mixed martial arts (MMA) has become
one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. With Dana White
helping bring Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to prominence
and respectability, as well as Conor McGregor becoming one of the
sport's biggest stars, fans are skipping the squared circle for the
Octagon. In Champions of the Octagon, writer Fiaz Rafiq interviews
many of the greatest MMA and UFC champions of all-time, including
Georges St-Pierre, Holly Holm, Daniel Cormier, Joanna Jedrzejczyk,
Randy Couture, and many others. Readers will learn of their
upbringings, their introductions to the sport, and how they worked
their way to be the best ever. Spending decades covering the sport
and building relationships with those who have fought in the
Octagon, Rafiq shares never-before-seen interviews and intimate
stories from these greats. Learn from Royce Gracie how his family
helped bring Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to America, Anderson Silva on
challenging boxing champion Roy Jones Jr., BJ Penn on how he got
introduced to MMA, Brock Lesnar on using his skills from WWE and
bringing them to UFC, Alexander Volkanovski on a quest to dominate
his division, Holly Holm on dethroning Ronda Rousey, and so much
more. From the early days of the sport and its rich history to
today's stars and the future of MMA, Champions of the Octagon pulls
back the curtain on their lives and careers. Including interviews
from thirty-six UFC champions (seventeen Hall of Famers), hear
never-before-told stories from the fighters who helped build the
sport to what it is today.
