When I look in the mirror I know that I came from dirt. I came from the streets. Both of my parents are drug addicts. I lived in cars motels in the back of people's houses. But now I look in the mirror & realize that I'm somebody. Everybody in this world can have goals & dreams & they can achieve those goals & dreams if they work hard enough. I came from nothing & I've done it. I smile every time I talk about it. So begins the inspirational tale of Jacob ' Tito' Ortiz aka the ' Huntington Beach Bad Boy'. Ortiz made his mixed martial arts debut as an amateur at UFC 13. He wasn't interested in being paid or getting a contract -- he just wanted 'to kick somebody's ass'. Before long he was fighting for the UFC Middleweight (200 pound) title & battled it out in an historic contest with prodigy Frank Shamrock. Ortiz lost but the fight shaped the future of the division for the next several years to come. The Middleweight title was renamed the Light Heavyweight title & Ortiz again took the belt successfully defending it five times in the next three years. A controversial opponent Ortiz remains one of the most exciting Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters to watch. This is the outspoken no-holds-barred story of his colourful life & career. ...

This book captures the dramas & the emotion of Manchester Citys victories & losses as witnessed through the eyes of two lifelong City fans 40 something Will & nephew Martyn 17 years his junior. Feel their hopes fears nerves disappointment resignation exultation & final relief. Forty-four years since their last top league title City were crowned champions of England in 2012 for only the 3rd time in their history pipping local rivals Manchester United on goal difference in the process. In 1999 they won a far less coveted trophy awarded for winning the Division Two promotion play-off final & thus propelling the club back up to the heights of English football s 2nd tier (at about the same time the aforementioned local rivals were completing an unprecedented treble of the English Title & Cup as well as being crowned champions of Europe). Without City s 99 victory it is highly likely that 2012 triumph would never have happened. Modern City may be light years away from the humble outfit of just over a decade ago but there are plenty of parallels to be drawn alongside all of the contrasts. ...
