I read Griffin, Liddell and Couture's Autobiography and would highly recommend all three.

You can use a proxy to change your location but you still may have shipping problems.

Just want to let everyone know that if you're interested, Jens Pulvers Driven, is available on the US Netflix now.
Just about to watch it now myself.

Sonnen's book can now be pre-ordered on amazon. Is a comedic 'self-help' type of book which from the description actually kind of sounds a bit like got fight. If nothing else it will likely be another fine lesson in trolling

I watched Driven last night on Netflix and I'd recommend it to everyone.
It's an in depth look inside the mind of Pulver in the lead up to a fight and it's basically his struggle with himself. He seems to be extremely emotionally damaged as a result of his relationship with his father and he is constantly battling with it. He breaks down in tears a good few times during the documentary and its kind of a depressing story at times but well worth a watch.

Read this recently, pretty decent book... interesting insight into the early zuffa years and BJ's relationship with Dana White albeit an extremely biased version of events from BJ's point of view..

Also I picked up the DVD Choke for only £3.00 on Amazon and thought it was brilliant.

I liked Chuck Liddell's book as well but not so much Brock Lesnars.

Thought it was far 2 short and he has now contradicted everything he said in the book about him been the only one who could get away from the WWE

Forrests book is a great read, not exactly challenging but very entertaining.

Liddells book is garbage, and I actually felt awkward reading it, full of "im the biggest/baddest/sexiest/coolest etc mofo on the planet" bullsh.it.

I would recommend Clyde Gentry's "No Holds Barred". It's a really interesting read about the early days of the sport

I was just about to write that . Liddels book is ridiculous tough guy nonesense... to be avoided.

BJ Penns book is fairly poor too. He seems a bit deluded at times. The whole falling out with Ralph Gracie section is just weird.

Matt Hughes book is probably the worst of the bunch. He comes across as a tosser, and a creep. The way he describes meeting his wife is outragous and would get you arrested in most countries.Here's an amusing Synopsis that will save you the ordeal of reading the entire book.

"No Holds Barred" was an excellent book and very well written. I found it hard to put down once I got started. "Title Shot: Inside the Shark Tank of MMA" was a reasonable read.
