A Fighter's Heart

In this book, Sam Sheridan recounts his epic journey into the world of professional fighting.

Starting in 1999, after a series of adventurous jobs around the world, Sheridan indulged in his long-dormant obsession with fighting.

He trained with the greatest fighter in muay Thai history in Bangkok, faced Olympic boxers, Brazilian jiu-jitsu stars, and Ultimate Fighting champions.

The book provides an insightful look at violence as a career and a spectator sport, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of athletes at the peak of their game.

It is a combination of gonzo journalism and participatory sports writing, detailing what it's like to reach the peak of finely disciplined personal aggression.
