I am currently reading the autobiography "The Laws of the Ring" by Urijah Faber. For the background story, the book is about a fighters life. Urijah faber is an MMA fighter that is currently a top contender in the Bantamweight division in the UFC. In the intro of the book he talks about his very first MMA fight against an already professional fighter. Urijah used a very good use of imagery, he went in depth on how the atmosphere was for his first fight. Urijah had everything alligned for a bright future after he graduated out of UC Davis, but he decided to follow his dreams and participate in what seemed to be a sport referred as "human cockfighting". In this book the chapters Urijah talks about his own take on life, or the laws of the ring. The laws don't relatively apply to a person that wants to be successful in cage fighting but can also be applied to the average person. He really motivates me and I am really hooked on the book, I really enjoy reading the background of a fighter and what he went through personally. This book also shows that MMA fighters are not just cavemen that are uneducated and just knock each other out but actual intellectual people.
