Description

Frank Shamrock was widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But first he suffered through a childhood of neglect, juvenile delinquency, and petty crime. He was eventually taken in by Bob Shamrock, who fostered hundreds of troubled boys.

However, when Frank couldn't afford to support his family, he turned to burglary and wound up in state prison. Upon his release, Frank joined Ken in training, and for the next two decades, he dominated the entire sport.

In this riveting book, Uncaged, Shamrock provides vivid accounts of his battles both in and out of the ring.
