Purchase options and add-ons
Chuck Liddell is the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and superstar of Mixed Martial Arts -- the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998, he won his first Mixed Martial Arts fight, soon after joining the UFC to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. He is a walking lethal weapon.
Here, for the first time, is the story of Chuck Liddell inside and outside the Octagon—from his childhood in the poor section of Santa Barbara to the bloodiest battles of his career, to balancing life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar. With never-before-seen photos—and an all-new chapter added for this edition—Iceman is the true, no-holds-barred story of Chuck Liddell’s fight to become a champion.

"What's not to love about Chuck Liddell? He has transcended the sport to become a cultural icon. He is The Guy for most guys, a real-life hero in a world of spoiled, whiny poseurs. Arnold, without the script."

Besides all Chuck's feedback and tips about his different MMA fights, his book gives a lot of fighting principals and lessons that any martial artist would learn from. For example, I particularly liked the part about Chuck's earlier fight in his life against a bunch of bullies in the street where he makes sure his back is against the wall so he can have all his opponents on the same side! He was able to defeat them all together.
He also speaks about his training strategy before the big UFC fights, which we all can learn from and immitate.
Very courageously also, Chuck shares with us his mistakes, which some led to losses, for us to learn from. He was quite honest and straight forward in his book.
The book is well written and very interesting. It is divided into 47 small chapters with very exciting language and ideas, which makes reading the book quite useful and also fun.
I highly recommend this book.
I learned a lot of interesting things; Dana White trained at the same gym as Chuck Liddell - so did the Fertitta brothers. Liddell lost his manager because of a disagreement over TUF2 - the man thought he should have been paid more money and Chuck realized this was necessary both for the sport and his recognition. The UFC launched their TUF reality show completely on their own dime and then pitched it for free to any network willing to take a chance! These are the kinds of things I really wanted an insight into and Liddell's book delivers in spades. The Matt Hughes book, in contrast, gave me nothing.
I wasn't a fan of Chuck's prior to reading this novel, but I am now. It's obvious that he cares passionately about the MMA game and I hope he manages to recapture the LHW belt.
I think they put together some honest info about their lives and sort of made up a personality while writing the books.
As an author and martial artist I really wish that the publishing companies could come to me so that I could write these books myself. The fighters lives deserve to be treated with more respect. These books are pedaled as cheap coffee table smut you would see in a pile of things purchased just for decor. When instead these biographies could be beautiful, epic recounts of modern day warriors.
This book is at the forefront of what appears to be a forthcoming flood of MMA biographies. It is a must read for any true MMA fan.

300 pages later i dont feel like i know anything more about the guy than i did before he started. but i admire the fact he didn't big anything up about himself in the book, or dramatise anyhting.
