"I want to tell you about the passion that first led me to bet everything on this sport of ours, way back when Mixed Martial Arts was outlawed in half the country and there wasn't a dime to be made on it. How that passion all started, with my larger-than-life father, a former Marine Drill Sergeant. He was a man who thought nothing of confronting a group of thugs armed with nothing but his fists -- and who expected the same strength and honor from his sons. I want to take you inside the incredible brotherhood that makes up the UFC as nobody ever has before, to tell you about the bond we all share and the crazy times I've had over the years with guys like Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn, and Jon 'Bones' Jones. I want to give you my Octagon-side insights on many of the big fights you remember, and just maybe, to tell you about a few memorable fights that took place outside of the octagon, too -- from my own sparring match with a youngster named Royce Gracie back before the phrase 'Mixed Martial Arts' even existed, to some other brawls you might've heard about"--Provided by publisher.

Bruce Buffer has been the official 'Voice of the Octagon' for the Ultimate Fighting Championship since 1997. He also manages the career of his brother, boxing announcer Michael Buffer"--Provided by publisher.
