About this listen
Wertheim focuses on Pat Miletich, a mixed-martial-arts pioneer and six-time UFC champion, who currently runs the most famous MMA training school in the world. Miletich has Single-handedly transformed a gritty town on the banks of the Mississippi into an unlikely hotbed for his sport. He has also transformed many an average Joe into a walking weapon of destruction.
Wertheim intertwines Miletich's own life story, by turns tragic and triumphant, with the larger story of the unholy rise of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, from its controversial, back alley roots to the fastest-growing sporting enterprise in America.
For fans of Jeff MacGregor's Sunday Money and Sam Sheridan's A Fighter's Heart, Blood in the Cage takes readers behind the scenes, right down to the mat, from a punch in the kidney to the ping of the cash register, as Wertheim brilliantly exposes the no-holds-barred reality of the blood sport for a new generation.

Very instightful into Mixed Martial arts people
Very good and insightful into the fighers lives and dedication to their drive to be a competitor. Some good small stories (or myths) into UFC fighers.

Excellent in every way.
The best sports book I have ever read/listened too.
Writing is tough, direct, sometimes brutal and often hilarious.
Narrator does a great job bringing the book well and truly to life.
100% recommend
