Description
Matthew Polly's memoir takes an unflinching look at his journey into mixed martial arts, a sport he had all but forgotten about after years of indulgence. Fifteen years after training with monks in China, Polly finds himself out of shape and over the hill, yet determined to risk it all one last time.
Through his two-year odyssey, Polly chronicles his grueling training sessions, studying with top trainers and joining a fascinating subculture of fighters. Along the way, he explores the history of fighting sports and confronts the harsh realities of this fast-growing sport in America.
In the end, Polly faces off against a fighter 15 years younger than him, testing his resolve and pushing himself to the limit. This honest and humorous account offers a unique perspective on MMA and what it takes to be a fighter.
