JNPO: Inside the new PRIDE historical book ‘Before A Fall’
It’s book season here on Josh Nason’s Punch-Out and dropping by this week to discuss his book ‘Before A Fall: A History of PRIDE Fighting Championships‘ is author Lee Daly.
Lee and I talked for nearly forty minutes, touching on several topics:
– The inspiration for writing the book
– Who was the most helpful interview of all the people he talked to and what fighter(s) he wished he had been able to talk to
– Why he decided to crowdsource the funding for the project
– What fights he’d recommend to a PRIDE newbie and what his favorite fight is of all time
Also, we discuss this weekend’s UFC China event featuring Curtis Blaydes vs. Francis Ngannou II and Alistair Overeem, and the weekend’s biggest event: Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz III. We also touch on UFC Argentina from this past weekend.
