“The New York Times bestseller from the baddest man on the planet—with photos and a brand new chapter.

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.

This is a book that every martial artist must read!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book is absolutely amazing. Its a book written by the great MMA fighter Chuck Liddell about his life. From the moment he was born and later raised by his grandfather and mother till his victorious fight he held in the UFC against Wanderlai Silva.

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.

Lot's of inside information

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2008

Verified Purchase

This book was everything the Matt Hughes effort wasn't. Liddell speaks in detail about his fights, his overall strategies, and specific tactics against particular opponents. The man comes across as likeable and intelligent. He does us a favor by sparing us stories of his childhood years, and skips right to the meat of the 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.

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was a sweet read. Especially certain parts of the book are gold. That being said, it mirrors 'my fight your fight' by Ronda Rousey in his 'I'm really tough' personality type that I don't really buy after reading this.

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 a great book if you like the ufc and are interested on the making of a ufc fighter. it is very well written and very easy to follow. i know after reading it i have a very differant opinion of chuck liddel. the book takes you from his birth and his family and tells how he was a cripple as a very young boy. it tells who had a big part of showing him the way to manhood. more importantly it tells of how there is much more to the man than what we see when he fights. i always thought he is a great fighter but now i also think he is a great man out of the ring and i find myself realy bumming out as latly he has fought some very tough men and has not fared well. ide hate to see him quit but i dont want to see him get his brain scrambled either. he is to smart for that. i hope its an intense book by an intense ufc fighter. he is number 1 in my book

Interesting Read for UFC Fans

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2010

Verified Purchase

If you are a UFC or Chuck Liddell fan you will likely enjoy this book. It isn't the BEST book I've read in terms of a "behind the scenes" story (see Eric Bishoffs book I also reviewed which I find was the best non-fiction read like this in a while for me) but it does go into detail on chucks life before the UFC as well as in the UFC. He gives somewhat interesting thoughts on each of his big matches, from Tito, the titles, his relationship with Dana White, but I can't say I was turning pages or sharing what I read with friends. It's like an ongoing interview from someone who has been there, done that, and wants to tell you all about how it went each step of the way. It was a good read in general being a UFC fan, and if you are it's probably worth the time to read it.

Lucid and Straightforward

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2008

Verified Purchase

Not since Little Evil: One Ultimate Fighter's Rise to the Top - which chronicled the life of MMA fighter Jens Pulver - has a book been written with such lucidity and honesty about the life of an MMA fighter. This book depicts Liddell's life, from his early childhood influences to his lascivious escapades after his big wins. The book is written in a straightforward and insightful manner - it doesn't get boring or redundant. Every chapter has a little moral or lesson. In one chapter, for example, Liddell says, "to me, losing as a man is better than winning as a coward." This comment, of course, is an indirect reference to Tito Ortiz.

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.

Very inspirational lessons from his very own experience in life. A good read that i enjoyed alot, recommend to even those who are not fighters. Great lessons taught about facing obstacles in life.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. As a fan of autobiographies, MMA and the UFC. After i read it, i felt i knew Chuck better and knew what made him tick how he got to where he was, both professionally and as a man. I felt I had a better knowledge of MMA and the UFC. It's a book about Chuck and hi slife as a fighter, not the history of MMA and the UFC, but since he was a part of the second comming, he gives some good insite and behind the scenes stuff. all this made me crave more, so unfourtunatley I bought the Matt hughes book after. For that I may never forgive Chuck, Ever.

it par for the course. i enjoyed it but i doubt ill read it again.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

tbh its a good read but its not what i would call "un-put downable". although the guy has had a fantastic career and is a hell of an athlete. He didn't really have anything out of the ordinary of an upbringing or his teenage years other than he wasn't scared to fight(imagine that). he grew up excelling at sport and managed to make a name for himself. and if you're looking to read chuck liddells book, your probably into MMA and aware of his exploits in the ufc so the second half of the book is kinds just a timeline of his fight history.

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.

My partner lent his copy of this autobiography to a friend who never gave it back. He says it's a great read & so well written. It helped him see things differently at an awkward time in his life & says he would definitely recommend it if you need to see the positive side of life.

Decent read

Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2014

Iceman is a decent book, though at times not the most well written, and often drags on far too much for a book that is supposed to be about one of the most exciting MMA fighters in the history of the sport. Still worth having a read, especially for any fans of Chuck.
