Based on unique access to the Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC) and its rival organizations, "Blood in the Cage" peers
through the chain-link Octagon into the frighteningly seductive
world of mixed martial arts, which has exploded in popularity
despite resistance. Wertheim focuses on Pat Miletich, who runs the
most famous MMA training school in the world. Single-handedly
Miletich has transformed a gritty town on the Mississippi into an
unlikely hotbed for his sport. He has also transformed many an
average Joe into a walking weapon of destruction.
Wertheim intertwines Miletich's own life story, by turns tragic
and triumphant, with the larger story of the unholy rise of the
UFC, from its controversial, back alley roots to the
fastest-growing sports enterprise in America. "Blood in the Cage"
takes readers behind the scenes, right down to the mat, from a
punch in the kidney to the ping of the cash register, as Wertheim
brilliantly exposes the no-holds-barred reality of the blood sport
for a new generation.
