Book Reviews of Fighter: The Fighters of the UFC
Book Review: Be Aware That This Is A Coffee Table Book Of Photographs
Summary: 5 Stars
To be perfectly blunt and honest, I really have no interest whatsoever in this book, and still don't. I did however pick it up and look through it from front to back, which is an easy task to do since it is an entire book of black and white photographs of a virtual "Who's Who" in the UFC, in order to write an informed review of this book.
Each fighter has one quote on their introductory page and that is the limit of text being available in this book. Which is absolutely fine since this books sole purpose is to showcase the various fighters in a series of black and white photographs.
The photography is really quite good and captures a lot of the nuances of the fighters. If this is something that you are interested in, then by all means purchase this book right away and I am sure you will be absolutely thrilled with it.

Summary of Fighter: The Fighters of the UFC
A unique look at the fighters of the UFC, showcasing both their fierce athleticism, and their surprising sensitivity and grace.Depending upon your perspective, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, aka the UFC, is brash, beautiful, or brutal ? and as in your face as the fighter?s blows. Fighters take down their opponents with an arsenal of moves, using a unique blend of martial arts, including jujitsu, wrestling, judo, and kickboxing.
In Fighter: The Fighters of the UFC, Reed Krakoff offers a unique look at these world-class athletes in a startling collection of black- and-white photographs. Krakoff, the president and executive creative director of Coach, a leading force in the fashion world, is also an accomplished photographer and a huge UFC fan. His pictures, shot with a medium-format Mamiya box camera, depict these fighters as they are rarely seen. Standing alone, without competitors or an audience, Krakoff?s subjects look gentle, warm, humble, and disarmed. But with their signature tattoos and resilient bodies, it?s also clear that they are built for the cage.
The book features some of the biggest names in the UFC ? iconic fighters such as Chuck Liddell, Georges St-Pierre, and Matt Serra pose for the camera in ways that are real and revealing. Accompanying these shots are brief interviews that offer another perspective on these modern-day gladiators.
