What's your passion?
For Urijah "The California Kid" Faber, fighting is not just a thrill but
an act of self-expression. From his first fight in the outlaw MMA days
of 2003, Urijah recognized his passion for the sport--and since then the
former WEC World Featherweight Champion, now fighting as a top
bantamweight in the UFC, has been living his dream. As one of the most
exciting, charismatic fighters today, with a loyal following in the MMA
community, Urijah is well known for his inventive fight style,
cutting-edge approach to fitness, and California swag.
In The Laws of the Ring, Urijah relates the full story of how he has
made a career out of a highly demanding sport. Even outside the ring,
his passion for fighting has motivated him to do so much more--to open
his own fitness center, create a sports clothing line, lead a fight
team, and recently to coach up-and-coming fighters in the television
show The Ultimate Fighter. But even the California Kid couldn't do it
all without constant hard work, healthy habits, and a whole lot of
positive thinking. With his thirty-six "Laws of Power," Urijah shares
the life lessons he's learned along his unconventional path, drawing
from personal experience to give readers a sense of life inside the
ring--and show how to take those lessons into their own worlds.
Part manifesto for success, personal journey, and meditation on a
well-lived life, The Laws of the Ring is filled with funny,
provocative, and inspirational stories for a colorful glimpse into the
rise of a young superstar, and the philosophy behind his
accomplishments. With clear-eyed perspective and down-to-earth advice,
Urijah zeroes in on getting the life you want--and living it to the
fullest.
