Mixed martial artists are intense and ferocious beasts.
Or so you would think by watching them in the cage.
While these barbaric qualities may be true for many fighters, it is impossible to deny the fact that mixed martial artists are equally intelligent as they are violent.
While literature is not typically equated with the MMA lifestyle, several fighters and fight fans have written exceptional works about the sport of mixed martial arts and the people that make up its foundation.
