More on the Book: Theories about how MMA works get put to the test with a little bit of science, and a whole lot of numbers. "Fightnomics" is the deepest and most complete analysis to date of historical UFC data that answers common, yet hotly debated questions about the sport. It also explains all the metrics and popular statistics related to the sport, organizing and clarifying all the happens in a mixed martial arts contest. The fight game will never quite look the same once you've learned what really matters in a cage fight, and even a few surprising things that don't. It's the perfect gift for a smart UFC fan, and a great way to quickly understand the fast growing sport of MMA.
