About Igor Vovchanchyn, The King Of Fighting

Product Description Igor Vovchanchyn is a Champion and legend in the world of fighting. He fought in bare-knuckle, No-Holds-Barred tournaments with no weight classes and few, if any, rules. Standing at only 5'9", he won more of these tournaments than any other fighter in history.  He went on to fight in what is now considered modern-day MMA, becoming a legend in that realm as well, before MMA blew up worldwide into the popular sport it is today. His fighting style was unique and brutal. There hasn't been another fighter like him before or since in MMA. This book looks at Igor's life, both past and present. It delves into his historic fights as well as his life outside the ring after his retirement. It is a rare glimpse into the life of one of the greatest fighters MMA has ever seen, "Ice Cold" Igor Vovchanchyn. Review "They write books about men like Igor Vovchanchyn. In fact, one exists by author Daniel DiMarzio called "The King of Fighting" available on Amazon.com. Among the last of a dying breed, very few fighters will ever walk planet earth that will occupy the same level of respect that I reserve for men like Vovchanchyn. A living legend in mixed martial arts circles, Vovchanchyn's fighting career to this day serves as an example for generations of fight fans of what true greatness is all about.   The fact of the matter is the modern sport of mixed martial arts has very few athletes today who would even dream of entering the same tournaments Vovchanchyn did over two decades ago now. We are talking no holds barred, multiple fight one-night tournaments with no weight classes. It's a completely different environment to the highly regulated sport of mixed martial arts we enjoy today.   Igor Vovchanchyn is the red devil, a fearsome striker who was "every fighters nightmare" according to UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten. Today, the term "legend" is liberally tossed around to a variety of fighters who are accomplished mixed martial artists in their own right. But in a sea of  "legends" Igor Vovchanchyn is a man amongst men. He is the guy your favorite fighter is standing in line to meet, a legends legend who will forever be remembered in history as among the greatest to ever compete in the sport of mixed martial arts."   -The MMA Press Room From the Author While writing "Igor Vovchanchyn, The King of Fighting" I traveled to Kharkiv, Ukraine to meet with the legend, Igor Vovchanchyn, in person... Igor is a fascinating individual. He is one of the greatest fighters to ever step in the ring, yet often does not receive the credit he should for what he accomplished. Simply put, his fight record is astounding. He went undefeated for almost four and a half years in a sport that does not forgive error. To make this even more unbelievable he fought giants almost twice his size, in bare-knuckle matches, that had little to no rules. Igor Vovchanchyn's life is like a movie, something between Bloodsport and Rocky. Legends have grown around him and his exploits. His icy persona in the cage has left many people wondering what he is like in real life. This book answers many of those questions while solidifying his place as one of the greatest fighters history has ever seen.  About the Author Daniel DiMarzio was born on the Army Base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky in 1982.
