ICEMAN: My Fighting Life
by Chuck Liddell with Chad Millman (Dutton Books)

UFC former Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell delivers 303 pages of full-contact writing here, starting from his childhood when he was raised by his mother, Charlene, and his grandparents. Whilst the Iceman calls his father "the guy I would refer to as the sperm donor", his grandfather `Pops' was the man who initially taught Chuck how to handle himself.
In ICEMAN: My Fighting Life, Liddell reveals everything from how he was inspired to get his first Mohawk haircut after attending a Slayer concert to how he first linked up with John Hackleman and John Lewis, and the impact they've had on his fighting career and his life.
Chuck pulls back the curtain and invites the reader to take a guided tour with him into the lifestyle of one of the world's most successful ultimate fighters. There are also some personal views of MMA's most successful promoter, Dana White, and how Dana and the Fertitta brothers gathered up the UFC pile of ashes, then picked up the pieces and created the world's fastest growing sport.
Although ICEMAN: My Fighting Life is regarded as an autobiography, there are stacks of helpful tips from the Octagon legend throughout the book, including `My thoughts on how to throw a knockout punch' and Chuck's weekly training program.
Chuck even talks about the many, many women in his life and gives advice to young guns on `How to impress your girlfriend'.
ICEMAN: My Fighting Life definitely gets Knucklepit's tick for excellence.
Summary of Iceman: My Fighting Life
?When I walk out of the tunnel, I can see the lights, hear the music, feel the crowd, but it all begins to close off as I near the cage. By that point I?m thinking, I?ve been training hard, it?s time to focus....Every man is born with a fight-or-flight instinct, and mine is to fight. It always has been.? ?From the PrologueWhat?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? You have to read my book to find out. I?ve been called the baddest man on the planet. I?m the face of Ultimate Fighting Championship, the leader in mixed martial arts and the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998 I won my first MMA fight. Not long after, the UFC came calling, and eventually fought my way to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. Not bad for a bartender with a college degree in accounting.
I was 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 I?m 6'2", 220 pounds, and a trained lethal weapon, but I?m also fiercely loyal, maybe even a bit sensitive, and unexpectedly romantic. In raw detail, and with total honesty, I?m going to tell you the story of my fighting life?both inside and outside the Octagon? including my childhood in the poor section of Santa Barbara, gritty insider accounts of my major fights, stories behind my trademark mohawk and nickname, my ongoing rivalry with Tito Ortiz and deep-rooted friendship with Dana White, and how I balance life as a father, a UFC champ, and a superstar?or try to, anyway. With never-before-seen photos, Iceman is my true, no-holds-barred story of fighting my way to become a champion.
