Hey everyone, your continued clicks and bloodyelbow.com’s support of MMA Squared has allowed me to create The Fine Art of Violence book series. For the uninitiated here’s the premise: MMA as a sport lacks a season and being a fan feels akin to running on a hamster wheel.

I’ve created a book series which starts on January 1st and ends December 31st. I draw the most interesting prospects, pivotal career moments and championship fights. Then I hire other artists and writers to add their own perspectives.

Please enjoy this preview of The Fine Art of Violence, Volume 3 and visit chrisrini.com to acquire either a digital or physical copy. Also I have a patreon where you can support Volume 4 (aka, all the fights happening in 2022) and acquire original artwork.

Thanks everyone who has commented, clicked, and otherwise engaged with my work. Thanks to Nate Wilcox for believing in me, and don’t forget to take care of yourself. I’ll talk to you later.

Chris
