An adrenaline-fuelled insider expose of sin and success inside and outside the cage.

UFC Uncovered is the outrageous, no-holds-barred story of the rise of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Fans of the MMA sport have had glimpses into the crazy world - from the backstage rivalries, celebrity fighters, like Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz and Michael Bisping, to the legendary fights where two uncontrollable people try to break each other - but now the real story of sin and success inside and outside of the cage is revealed for the first time.

Looking at how the UFC evolved from unregulated human cockfighting, run by descendants of one the most notorious mafia families and a hustling failed amateur boxer, to the $4-billion business it is today, Michael Thomsen exposes an unusual story - and the brash and brilliant people behind it.

This is the definitive book about the rise of the UFC.
