WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE NO FEAR? TO MAKE PEOPLE COWER IN THEIR SHOES? TO KNOW THE SWEET SATISFACTION OF KNOCKING A GUY OUT WITH A SINGLE DEVASTATING PUNCH? I KNOW . . .
I've been called the baddest man on the planet. I'm the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the fastest-growing sport in America. In 1998, I won my first mixed martial arts fight. Not long after, the UFC came calling, and I eventually fought my way to becoming the number-one-ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. Not bad for a bartender with a college degree in accounting.
Raised by a single mother and inspired by my grandfather, a first-generation Irish American from Mafia-run Brooklyn, I learned how to fight at a very young age. Now, at 6'2', 220 pounds, I'm a trained lethal weapon. But I'm also fiercely loyal, maybe even a bit sensitive.
This is my life both inside and outside the Octagon - from the bloodiest battles of my career, to balancing life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar. With never-before-seen photos, Iceman is the true, no-holds barred story of my fight to become a champion.
