"The MMA Encyclopedia is the latest offering from Jonathan Snowden,
author of Total MMA, one of the best and most complete accounts of
where this sport came from ever written ... This is the kind of
book that you'll go back to time-and-again." -- The Province
"[The MMA Encyclopedia is] one of the more exhaustive references
you'll find on the sport of mixed martial arts ... I highly
recommend the book. Snowden's first book, Total MMA, was one of the
better MMA books I've ever read, and this one may be even better."
-- Houston Chronicle
"A monolith of MMA goodness in softcover format. If you were to fly
with it, you might need to check it ... Highlighting fighters,
organizations, trainers, TV networks and more; it would be hard to
imagine any major influence -- or minor for that matter -- in the
history of major MMA not being in here." -- Bleacher Report
"A must-read ... puts the fighters, the facts and the fundamentals
of the world's fastest-growing sports at the fingertips of fans of
all pages." -- Post and Courier
"An incredible resource for any fan. In stores on Tuesday, the book
is a treasure trove of MMA stories, people and history. From A
(David 'Tank' Abbott) to Z (Zuffa), all the major players are
included with records and recaps of past UFC, Pride and other major
events." -- Chicago Sun-Times
