| وصف الكتاب | The author of ""American Shaolin"" tells a hilarious and fascinating insider's account of mixed martial arts| the fastest growing sport in the country. Since the first Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1993| mixed martial arts (MMA) has punched| kicked| and wrestled its way into the public's consciousness. MMA is an often brutal sport that combines any and every unarmed fighting technique with pure grit. Today| the gross yearly profits of Ultimate Fighting Championship-the sport's premier professional league-exceed that of professional wrestling| boxing| and even the Boston Red Sox. In ""Tapped Out|"" Matthew Polly gives readers his on-the ground take of training and fighting in MMA. At the age of thirty-six| Polly was out of shape and totally unprepared for what was ahead: a grueling journey through leading MMA training facilities in Bangkok| St. Petersburg| Rio de Janeiro| New York| and Las Vegas. After being utterly beaten down and built back up| he fought his first match against a fighter nearly fifteen years younger-and not only won| but sent his opponent to the hospital. Polly intersperses his own narrative with the history and background of fighting and interviews with top UFC stars such as GSP| Fedor Emelianenko| Randy Couture| and Gina Carano. Evocative of George Plimpton's classic ""Paper Lion|"" Polly's honest| funny| and eye-opening account of his experiences will appeal to the millions of devoted MMA fans who are as hardcore as the sport itself.
