Reviews

"[Total MMA] is amazingly detailed with hundreds of footnotes as Snowden focuses on the expansion of MMA from its early beginnings to late 2008. Snowden obviously loves the business but doesn't shy away from exposing its darker sides and presenting both sides of arguments." --411Mania.com

"By far the most definitive book on mixed martial arts I've ever read . . . I can't recommend this book more highly." --"The Angry Marks"
