A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dan Hardy is an MMA and UFC competitor and now commentator and analyst for BT Sport and Fox. Part Reptile is his first book. He lives in Leicestershire.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

My life to date has revolved around fighting. Around my pursuit of striking a man's jaw with the optimum speed, power and timing to rotate his head, disturb the grid of nerves and blood vessels connecting his brain to his skull, and render him temporarily unconscious. My fights are my reference points. And I admit that sometimes I struggle with that fact because I know most people tend to bookmark their journey with much less malevolent landmarks. Beyond that brief, exhilarating existence inside a cage, my mind's eye won't wander too far. To the torture of the gym or more psychological and spiritual preparation elsewhere perhaps, but certainly no further. Fighting. For 34 years, my journey has been signposted by fighting.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Dan Hardy's first book is much more than a straightforward MMA autobiography. Taking the key fights from his career, Hardy explores the sport with the unparalleled insight that has made him the best analyst working today.

From training in China with Shaolin monks, to how MMA helped him channel his rage, to psychedelics and the ceremony in Peru that changed his life, to tapping into his 'reptilian brain' and the psychological warfare of UFC, to his epic title fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Hardy also speaks eloquently of the heart condition that forced him to stop fighting, the road to recovery, and the evolution of a sport that flies in the face of mainstream disapproval to entertain and thrill millions of obsessives around the globe.
