What happens when an ordinary man with a white belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, steps into the cage with a seasoned MMA veteran and black belt? In this honest, behind-the-scenes account, Anthony Billings The Kid takes readers through every stage of his unforgettable journey to face the UFC veteran Smile'N Sam Alvey in an MMA match. From the moment the challenge was accepted, through the strategy of training camp, all the way to the atmosphere of fight night, every page captures the pursuit of a dream. Months of planning, preparation, and sacrifice led to this moment. But does a fight ever go according to plan?
When the fight takes an unexpected turn, Anthony finds himself in a very difficult position. In this book, he reflects on the physical pain and the difficult lessons that came with refusing to quit (even when he probably should have). More than a fight story, this is a book about courage, perseverance, faith, and discovering that winning doesn't always happen in the ring, it also happens outside of it. Because Anthony has now learned that life's greatest victories are sometimes built from the scraps of defeat.
