Book Synopsis

"The New York Times bestseller from the baddest man on the planet--with photos and a brand new chapter.

Chuck Liddell is the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and superstar of Mixed Martial Arts -- the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998, he won his first Mixed Martial Arts fight, soon after joining the UFC to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. He is a walking lethal weapon.

With never-before-seen photos--and an all-new chapter added for this edition--Iceman is the true, no-holds-barred story of Chuck Liddell's fight to become a champion.
