MMA SQUARED: We have entered the Golden Age of women’s fighting

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Not even Jake Paul’s scandalous appearance should take away from those fights.

Hey some cool news, my second book is coming out soon. The Fine Art of Violence, Volume 2 will feature art by myself and two more artists: Adam Nelson, whose artwork has been turned into Reebok gear for Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz, and Edward Cao who is best known for illustrating Shaheen Al-Shatti’s amazing longform MMA essays.

Essays you say? Why yes volume 2 will feature essays by Shaheen Al-Shatti, Schwan Humes, Julie Kedzie, Fernanda Prates, Eugene S. Robinson, and Josh Rosenblatt (who wrote all of TFAoV volume 1). Excited to share the work, thanks for helping make it possible.

Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you Wednesday.
