2 out of 5 stars I read it in an hour   July 7, 2008
Eh, it wasn't really much other than a superficial look at him. Maybe he is just superficial, so that was all that could be expected. I felt like he should have had a ghost writer b/c it was just too elementarily written to be gripping enough. I would wait for this to come out in paperback or check it out from the library. Not worth spending much money on.


3 out of 5 stars TITO ORTIZ   July 6, 2008
This is an interesting story, especially if you're a fan of Tito, like I am. It's simple and an easy read.


2 out of 5 stars Short Easy Read   July 6, 2008
Don't waste your money on this book. Written at a 3 Grade reading level, you can sit at a Borders and tear through this in 1-2 hours. Numerous references about his t-shirt company and his obsession with money. Rips into Dana White while touching on his up bring and relationship with Jenna Jameson. Clearly a book to make money since there are countless "filler" quotes by his mother, ex-wife, and Jenna. Save your money!!!


4 out of 5 stars Ortiz KOs Liddell...at least his book   July 1, 2008
At long last, Ortiz was able to outdo Chuck Liddell at something. That something was writing a better book.

Ortiz's life has been full of ups and downs, and he is straightforward about his struggles with women, drugs, and fame. A lot of times when people write their story, they tend to paint themselves in a better, more agreeable light. But Ortiz doesn't try to do this. He is revealing and honest.

Interesting, informative, and insightful, this book delivers a KO to all the other MMA biographies that have been coming out in this past year. Far from being perfect, and far from being a role model, Ortiz reminds us that no matter how badly things are stacked against us, we can always just step into the ring called "life" and fight.




5 out of 5 stars great book   June 27, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

If your an mma fan or a big tito fan you will love this book. It goes through the ups and downs of his life and he also talks about all of his fights and the effects they had on him. definitely a great book for any fight fan. The only problem with the book is i thought it was to short and i don't read a lot of books. roughly 230 pages with large font. Other than that this book offers a revealing look into one of mixed martial arts most famous champions life.
