Synopsis

Five different nations. Five different styles. One goal. A young Kung-Fu master following his spiritual path. A pugilist from Scotland trying to resurrect a failed boxing career. A Russian Sambo expert looking for a new lease on life in America. A Mexican luchador attempting to cross over into mixed martial arts. A street thug searching for a new lease on life off the streets. Drifting from across the globe to the small south Texas town of San Uvalde, the fighters assemble under the banner of a risk-taking entrepreneur. Combining their diverse backgrounds and unique skills, the men become a team united in one goal: glory in the new sport of mixed martial arts. But will their unity and skills be enough to overcome their individual shortcomings, demons, and doubts when they are locked in a cage and tested by some of the deadliest fighters in the world? There will be only one supreme champion, and it will take more than skill, guts, and determination to succeed among a reborn breed of warriors: Pit Fighters.

About this title

From the Author

I've always loved combat sports.  From boxing to pro-wrestling to martial arts.  When 'Street Fighter II' came to the Pizza Hut in my hometown of Uvalde, I loved it.  And who could forget 'Bloodsport' or 'Enter the Dragon'?

This book is an ode to one of my all-time loves of my life:  fights!  The story was a complete joy to write, and I'm excited to share it with you today.

If you're a fan of any and all combat sports, I hope you'll give it a chance.

Thanks,

Bowie V. Ibarra
