What Reviewers Are Saying
"There have been a lot of books written about combat sports by journalists and just as many written by fighters. Christopher Olech's The Fighter Within is the rare book by an author who is both, and you will gain more insight on the fight game and those in it from this book than anything I've read in a long time. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn what it truly takes to fight--in the ring, Octagon, or life." --Thomas Gerbasi, Editorial Director for the UFC "Start reading it...don't wait!" --Jason Kelly, Rear Naked Choke Radio "A wonderful ride that encompasses the true essence of martial arts. Olech beautifully relates the common man with the teachings and spirit of many of the sport's masters." --Joe Ferraro, host of UFC Central radio
