Becoming the Natural: My Life In and Out of the Cage

took too long to get to any action

Captain America!

Another great MMA fighter autobiography!

First off the book has a very funny, short (foreword) written by comedian/actor Kevin James!

"Becoming the Natural" is right up there with Chuck Liddell's book "Iceman / My Fighting Life", which I consider to be the best MMA/UFC book out there.

Randy tells his childhood story and how he got into wrestling and MMA. He had a very sordid childhood as far as his parents were concerned. Randy talks about alot of very personal issues in the book, that he didn't have to tell us the readers. He really lays it all out there! He goes into detail about his ex-wives, cheating and being a parent.

Randy goes into detail about the UFC, Dana White and his current legal battle with the UFC. Couture's 16-8 record doesn't stand out like that of a champion, but read the book and you'll see just where that record comes from. Randy was fighting heavyweights with 40-50 pds. over him, in many fights once they got on top, he was simply pinned beneath them.

Randy is one of my favorite fighters simply because he seems to be a genuinely good guy and this book gave me that same feeling about him! Randy has beaten the best and been beaten by the best.

Throughout the book, even when describing his losses, he never bad mouths his opponents, in one fight he loses, he later learns the other fighter failed a steroid test, Randy is given the chance to have the fight changed from a (loss) to a (no contest), he refuses, saying a loss is a loss!

As a fan, I hope to see Randy get his chance to fight Fedor. As Randy says in his book, it's about taking on the best possible opponent and that man is Fedor!

Randy is still training, but not currently fighting, he is pursuing his acting career, with his first leading role movie, "Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior" on DVD!

The book also provides alot of nice pictures to give you a better sense of his past and family!

Another good MMA bio. for fans collections!

The Story of MMA's greatest underdog

Randy has always been doubted ever since his first fight at UFC 13 against the much larger Tony Halme but he has destroyed almost every opponent. No one expected him to win the UFC Interim LHW championship against Chuck Liddell but he KOed him. And no one expected him to come out of retirement and beat the 6'8 Tim Sylvia for the HW championship. In this book Randy tells his life story from growing up without a dad to his entrance in MMA and confront his dad who abandoned him at a young age. In this book Randy proves that he is a humble human and yet a fearless and devastating opponent.

Becoming the Natural: My Life In and Out of the Cage by Randy Couture and co-written by Loretta Hunt

BAM! Picture yourself in the cage with Randy Couture standing toe to toe fighting, and thousands of blood thirsty fans watching to see who will be the top contender. This and more happens in ¿Becoming the Natural¿ by Randy Couture.

Randy Couture is a hard working wrestler and UFC fighter with many goals to achieve in his career, but there are many things distracting him and things in his way. He has to cut weight, his family is rough, and of course his opponents. But with his heart and love of the sport he has a great chance to make it.

In Becoming the Natural: My Life In and Out of the Cage, is about Randy Couture growing up as a child in Washington not having the best times. How him and his wife go through rough times of having a baby at a young age. And it talks about how he served our country in the army and how he¿s wrestled for them. One day he sent a few videos of him wrestling to the UFC. Next thing you know he got a phone call and was asked to fight Tony Halme in the UFC 13. After he has won a few fights he is now gaining more and more fans, but will he be the best of the best?

This is a great autobiography of a man who went from teaching wrestling to being the main event of the night. This book shows that you can accomplish anything with enough hard work. This book made me never want to put it down. This is a great book because it¿s about my favorite sport and not alone my favorite fighter, so if you¿re into this stuff then read it! There are a few parts in the book with bad language and violence. I would have to rate it a five out of five.
