Product Description
Incarcerated in a metal cage, Ian Freeman’s fights have no limits. He is a friend to keep close and an enemy to steer clear of; cross him and you will live to regret it. For Ian, violence is no glamorous profession, but a way of life. Determined to be able to defend himself whatever the challenge, Ian quickly established himself as an unbeatable force in the fighting art of Vale Tudo—Portuguese for “anything goes”—and rose to Britain’s finest heavyweight Mixed Martial Arts fighter. This book tells the tale of one man’s battle to win. Having championed justice on his own doorstep and defeated bullies, drug dealers, and trouble makers, he has gone on to become a champion both in name and nature.

Obviously, Joe, you need to listen to Amazon and get on board by enjoying this sport. COME ON. PAY PER VIEW AWAITS.
Too funny. I wonder if anybody is aggregating these gaffs…
This particular kind of automated recommendation is obviously flawed to start with, for it claims that people who have bought X have also bought Y — but in fact no one has bought Y, as it has not yet been published. In short, it’s a lie, and it’s not surprising that it’s a weak and obvious lie, since computers are no better at lying than at any other intelligent behavior.
Gee, and when I saw the title “Cage Fighter” I assumed it was a book about Henry Pleasants or the later writings of Cornelius Cardew.” hmph.
Tom Bickley: I couldn’t imagine why you were referring to Henry Pleasants; after all, he was concerned with a crater, not a cage.
Now I know better.
Maybe they’re smarter than we think.
Alone in a small box, a lone bookseller battles phones, customers, and his fickle nemesis The Website in a desperate duel against madness, desperation, and the urge to stab the next delivery driver who rings the back doorbell more than three times. Facing unimaginable odds, he manages to sneak past the throng just long enough to handsell a book perfectly suited for the expectant father of twins before being dragged back into the fray.
I mean, really. What sort of bookseller doesn’t enjoy cage fighting?
