Fighting for Acceptance - Mixed Martial Artists and Violence in American Society (Hardcover): David T. Mayeda Fighting for Acceptance - Mixed Martial Artists and Violence in American Society (Hardcover)
David T. Mayeda; As told to David E. Ching
R604 Discovery Miles 6 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In recent years, mixed martial arts, also known as "ultimate fighting," has become the fastest-growing sport in American society, but it is also considered the most controversial. Based on interviews conducted with forty mixed martial arts athletes, Fighting for Acceptance answers these questions:

  • Who are the ultimate fighters?
  • How did they become involved in the sport?
  • What goes on in their heads while competing?
  • Do the fighters feel a social responsibility to preach nonviolence out of the sport?
  • How do they see themselves fitting into today's society?
Authors David Mayeda, a mixed martial arts fan and occasional fighter, and David Ching explore these political and sociological issues through in-depth interviews with fighters such as Randy "The Natural" Couture, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, "Dangerous" Dan Henderson, Jason "MayheM" Miller, Antonio McKee, Frank Trigg, Travis Lutter, Chris "The Crippler" Leben, and Guy Mezger. "Fighting for Acceptance" is for the sport's fans and its critics alike as it delves into the ramifications of the athletic event. This growing phenomenon is so controversial that many still question if it should even be considered a sport.
