In 1999, after a series of wildly adventurous jobs all over the world, Sam Sheridan found himself in Australia, loaded with cash and intent on not working until he’d spent it all. It occurred to him that, without distractions, he could in any case indulge a long-dormant obsession:  fighting. Within a year, he was once in Bangkok training with the greatest fighter in muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) history and stepping through the ropes for a professional bout. That one fight wasn’t enough. Sheridan got down to test himself on an epic journey into how and why we fight, facing Olympic boxers, Brazilian jiu-jitsu stars, and Ultimate Fighting champions. Along the way in which, Sheridan delivers an insightful have a look at violence as a career and a spectator sport, a in the back of-the-pageantry glimpse of athletes on the top of their terrifying game.  An atypical combination of gonzo journalism and participatory sports writing, A Fighter’s Heart is a dizzying first-hand account of what it’s like to achieve the peak of finely disciplined personal aggression, to hit—and be hit.
