Discover what it Takes to Live the Life of an MMA Fighter

Are you a fan of MMA? Do you have a favorite fighter? Have you always wondered what is this life like? Mark Tullius, a former cage fighter and boxer, will answer all of your questions. Find out what does it take to become an MMA fighter and how difficult the life of these athletes is.

There are so many people who are uneducated about this sport. They believe that fighters are savages who like punching others. But every MMA athlete has his own background story and the reason why they decided to walk down this road.

This is not one of those fiction books that tell a story of a poor young man who decides to fight so he could escape poverty. This is a book based on the true experiences of MMA fighters. Mark travels all over the country, looking for fighters he could interview and train with.

After visiting 100 gyms and interviewing 340 fighters, Mark was able to show the world what it really means to be an MMA fighter.

Here's what you'll discover inside this book:

• A Collection of True Stories: Read about the greatest achievements and biggest pitfalls of not just one, but 340 MMA fighters.
• The Beauty of MMA: There are not so many people in the world who have an appetite for getting punched in the face. Discover what makes MMA practitioners take up fighting for a living.
• The Raw Truth: Find out everything that happens in a life of MMA fighter – from sticking to a strict diet to cultivating mental strength needed to lead a fighter's life.

It's time for the world to look past the stigma of violence and finally realize the real foundation of the fighting culture – discipline, resilience, and strength.

"If you want to get to know me and my writing, come check out my podcast Vicious Whispers. I’m an open book and have no issues being vulnerable, looking at my mental health and other struggles. As a reward for making it through my babbling, I share my short horror stories, chapters from science fiction and suspense novels, as well as excerpts from nonfiction at the end of each episode. My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create, a dozen or so titles under my belt. There are 4 titles in my YA interactive Try Not to Die series and 16 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering the hell out of my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms. I live in sunny California with my wife, two kids, three cats, and one demon. Derek, he pops in whenever he’s tired of hell and wants to smoke weed. He makes special appearance on my podcast, social media, and special Facebook reader group Dark and Disturbing Fear-Filled Fiction. You can also get your first set of free stories by signing up to my newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of death. Derek and I would love to have you join us!
