Product Description
In recent years, mixed martial arts, also known as ultimate fighting, has become the fastest-growing sport in American society, but it is also considered the most controversial. Based on interviews conducted with forty mixed martial arts athletes, Fighting for Acceptance answers these questions:

Who are the ultimate fighters? How did they become involved in the sport? What goes on in their heads while competing? Do the fighters feel a social responsibility to preach nonviolence out of the sport? How do they see themselves fitting into todays society?

Authors David Mayeda, a mixed martial arts fan and occasional fighter, and David Ching explore these political and sociological issues through in-depth interviews with fighters such as Randy The Natural Couture, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Dangerous Dan Henderson, Jason MayheM Miller, Antonio McKee, Frank Trigg, Travis Lutter, Chris The Crippler Leben, and Guy Mezger.

Fighting for Acceptance is for the sports fans and its critics alike as it delves into the ramifications of the athletic event. This growing phenomenon is so controversial that many still question if it should even be considered a sport.
