Even though he's only fought three times in the past decade and hasn't won any of those fights, Diaz's return to the UFC at age 38 has plenty of fans excited because of his cult hero-like status.
Despite never winning a title in the UFC, Diaz held gold in Strikeforce and was once considered one of the most exciting fighters in mixed martial arts. His return bout against Lawler is a rematch from their bout at UFC 47, which saw Diaz win via knockout in the second round.
Diaz was suspended on multiple occasions because of failing drug tests for marijuana use, including a five-year ban courtesy of the Nevada State Athletic Commission in September He appealed that suspension and got it reduced to 18 months and it was eventually lifted in August Yeah, that's right-I'm that guy you see at every UFC match, spinning around and roaring into the microphone and getting up in fighters' grills. Okay, so I might not be the most subtle or refined announcer in the business.
But I hope I communicate my passion for the sport in a way no other announcer does. I'll say it again: Passion. Because that's what this book is about. However, we can learn to get more in tune with physical signals, and try to make decisions out of both the physical and the mental signals. It is always better because the body actually knows much more than our mind is ca Trust your body and disbelieve your mind is what I get from this book.
It is always better because the body actually knows much more than our mind is capable of, and the bodily experience can generate new lessons and tricks for the mind to use for a bigger challenges down the road.
Some of my favorite quotes and summary, The physical attributes incurred by feeling excited and anxious are really similar. The only difference is that One makes you close yourself, the other makes yourself open and enjoy what's coming as opportunities to lean and smile at. Challenges are not a fight against something, they are the unique gifts for a learning mind. It is winning the battle against the urge to stop.
Fighters who focus on finishing the battle don't get swept off their feet by anger, ear, or other weakening emotions that often occur amidst challenges. There is no shortcuts, it only takes time and efforts as the only inputs.
Nov 11, Geoff rated it it was amazing. This book was even better than I expected. It was not just about combat sport individuals from the view point of their training and how they got to where they are but an insight as to why they travelled the road to lead them to where they are.
All of these individuals the writer showed have a commonality in their love of what they do. What I als This book was even better than I expected. What I also liked was at the end he looked in to the Why. Why go through all this? Why put your body and mind through the torture of the sport? On reflection of the question you realize that it was a spiritual journey for many, those that pursued their path not just to be the best but to further understand how what they are doing is no longer following an art but having become what they now are.
What may have been the original reason for starting the journey no longer is as predominant as the journey progresses but at some point there is something that has taken over and once found fills the being.
That's what I took away from this book. Definitely greatful for having read this and will no doubt read it many more times going forward. Feb 04, Siddharth rated it it was amazing. I am going to go against the popular opinion and say that you will only get a true thematic understanding of this book if you have "mindfully" trained in any martial art before. The Fighter's Mind is a unique investigative journey into the routines and belief systems of some of the greatest modern combat athletes.
As a student of martial arts and a fighting nerd, this book has been a great supplement for my training camps and has helped me engender several conversations with fellow fighters and I am going to go against the popular opinion and say that you will only get a true thematic understanding of this book if you have "mindfully" trained in any martial art before.
As a student of martial arts and a fighting nerd, this book has been a great supplement for my training camps and has helped me engender several conversations with fellow fighters and instructors in my circle.
The sport of fighting has one put their life on the line every passing day. This forces great athletes to become highly attuned to their own inner talk and understand the role of discipline, repetition and apprenticeship to attaining mastery. So to an extent external damage becomes a forcing function for instilling mindfulness.
And you also often reap enlightening insight into human performance that can be generalized beyond any martial art or sport. There's a reason why some of the greatest ancient swordsmen, military generals and fighters have inked the most insightful philosophy. Must read! Nov 12, Morad rated it really liked it. A really nice read for fight enthusiasts. Some times I felt Sam's style is a bit choppy, jumping from a story to a quote to a thought without giving clear "knowledge" or a coherent idea.
Sometimes I also felt that spending time with such legendary fighters and trainers could have been presented in a better way. That is the only negative remark I have. Otherwise, the book got better and better. My favorite chapters are those about Greg Jakson and John Waitzkin. The book covers a variety of mental, A really nice read for fight enthusiasts.
The book covers a variety of mental, emotional and stylistic areas of fighting. Ego, how to prepare, what mind set do fighters have before and during fights.. If you train or fight you will find a lot to relate to in this book and I may say it is a must read considering there are not so many great book about this topic out there. I just love Sam Sheridan's writing. He's a non-fiction author who writes like a fiction author.
That alone does it for me. I often, when reading Sheridan's books, feel like I could go on just reading fighting and MMA literature and still end up smarter, more eloquent, etc. The content is pretty good, too. There is some overlap with "The Fighter's Heart" but that in no way reduced my enjoyment of this book. Virgil and I just love Sam Sheridan's writing. Virgil and Andre Ward are interviewed again.
I usually am not a fan of interview books but Sheridan uses the interviews mostly as part of a narrative and of stories he tells; it's quite a different experience from having interviews and interviewees "speak for themselves".
It's definitely a good book - not just for fight and MMA fans. Jul 18, Bennie rated it really liked it. Very good book once I got into it. For some reason, it took me a couple of chapters and was one of those books I would put down for a while and pick back up later. Once I got into it though, I really enjoyed the book. Good insight into the lives of fighters I had heard a lot about and watched but never got into the personal side. As a fan of MMA during the early days, most of the chapters covered fighters I had heard of and also added a few I had not heard of.
Of particular interest to me was th Very good book once I got into it. Of particular interest to me was the portion toward the end of that book that compared fighters to artists. Very interesting and referenced a few other books I will check into. Aug 06, Nadia rated it liked it. About half way through I found myself skimming chapters and jumping to the fighters I was particularly interested in, because it felt like a bit of a slog and as a result I'm fairly sure I missed some good points.
It was likely just not quite the format I was expecting when I picked it up. Overall useful read if you're at all interested in the mental aspect of fighting and training. I loved this book even more than his first excellent book, A Fighters Heart.
Sam is a very intelligent writer and his pursuit of truth is spellbinding. He covers so much ground and each topic is more interesting than the last. He tirelessly travels the globe interviewing some of the most distinguished, proven men and women in the fight game today. I never once got a sense of any macho bravado on his part and I am so impressed with what he was willing to put himself through to find his own truth.
Sam is a fighter along with being so much more. Just a great read from a very impressive individual! Jul 11, Jade Church rated it really liked it. Great book with some interesting interviews and subjects to highlight. My main problem with it, and it's not really a fault of the writer's, is that it just feels dated. He highlights a lot of fighters who are long since retired and don't necessarily fall under the all-time greats. Again, not the fault of the writer, but when he's talking about Tim Sylvia as a great HW, you know some of his opinions didn't age well.
I enjoyed the book, though, the end started to drag as he meanders off more into Great book with some interesting interviews and subjects to highlight. I enjoyed the book, though, the end started to drag as he meanders off more into art and chess and I would've enjoyed more discussions and stories about fighters. Oh well! Still a fun book for anyone into martial arts and fighting. Dec 29, Brian rated it it was amazing. There are some excellent stories I this book.
Great book that explores the world of traditional Western fighting with a brief foray into Muay Thai. Sep 06, Liam Vo rated it really liked it. As a fighter myself, I find this book extremely helpful in defining the mindsets and mental strategies of top fighters and athletes. It shows you that you can do more than your mind thinks and nothing substitutes hard work and dedication. Highly recommended. Feb 28, Juan Jacobo Bernal rated it really liked it.
I believe it was jazz drummer Dan Weiss who posted about this book on his Instagram account. I was a bit skeptical because I have never been a devoted fan of martial arts. But I have to say that this book opened my eyes to understanding martial arts from an entirely unexpected angle.
The parallelisms with art are explicitly explored and I found a treasure trove of inspiration in these pages. Oct 21, Theo Kokonas rated it it was amazing.
What a fantastic book! I've read the first one A Fighter's Heart and was blown away. This is yet another excellent addition to any martial artist's reading list.
