"When a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym moves in across the street from his office, Jonathan Gottschall sees a challenge, and an opportunity. Pushing forty, out of shape, and disenchanted with his job as an adjunct English professor, part of him yearns to cross the street and join up. The other part is terrified. Gottschall eventually works up his nerve, and starts training for a real cage fight. He's fighting not only as a personal test but also to answer questions that have intrigued him for years: Why do men fight? And why do so many seemingly decent people like to watch?"--Amazon.com.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first cage fight in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship occurred on November 12, 1993, pitting karate against sumo. There were no rules. There were no rounds. There were no weight classes. There were no gloves. There was no mercy. There was also no ring. #2 Gordeau’s opponent, Tuli, entered the cage with a serene confidence that began to slip as the fight progressed. Gordeau stunned him with a hard punch as he charged by, and then stepped in and soccer-kicked him in the mouth. The fight lasted twenty seconds. #3 I was a devoted, if basically inept, karate student in my early twenties. I was also a lot like those UFC fans cheering for carnage: I just had the good taste not to show it. I watched the tapes because they were exciting. #4 The story of Hamilton’s duel with Burr is well known. It was his first duel, and he could not believe how close together they were standing. They could almost duel by spitting.
