tour

Randy Couture's "memoirs" are out, co-written by Sherdog's Loretta Hunt. "Becoming the Natural" is sure to be an instant classic in the 'sports books written by someone else in the first-person voice of the famous person' genre, which we love.

Amazon describes it as "the remarkable story of one of the world's most gifted and dedicated athletes -- a born fighter whose skill and showmanship have helped to lift mixed martial arts out of the shadows and into the mainstream."

They also say he wins fights with "the seemingly effortless ease with which lesser mortals eat or breathe." Hyperbole, it seems, is the book synopsis writer's best friend.
