Product Description
This gripping tale follows the life of Jens Pulver, the current lightweight Ultimate Fighting Champion. Pulver reveals a youth spent in a family in which violence was the only way to deal with conflict, and in which his father's alcoholism made all family relationships contentious. Set against Pulver’s tumultuous upbringing, this account offers insight into his rise to prominence in the ring and his drive to overcome adversity and find inner peace.

Little Evil! July 14, 2008 BJ (East Peoria, IL United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Good, quick read! This was the original MMA fighter autobiography. Jens's was the 1st MMA fighter to tell his story. When "Little Evil" was written, was shortly after Jens Pulver defended his championship belt against then up and coming fighter(& future champion) B.J. Penn! Jens went through hell as a kid. He had every reason to become just another punk kid, with no direction in life dealing drugs and drinking. But lucky for him, he found wrestling and had alot of great coaches & mentors direct him to a life worth living for. Since this book was written however Jens Pulver lost his belt, as do all champions eventually. He will always be one of the original UFC fighters and always a legend. Jens is now training again and fighting in the WEC, he already lost one title shot against Urijah Faber, but the rematch is coming soon! As an avid fan of MMA, I think Jens still has alot of fight in him and he will be around for awhile and his legendary left hand is as strong as ever! Good short book for any MMA fans!
Best fighter's story I've read May 12, 2008 Caelin Beaty (Seattle, WA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read Chuck, Matt and Tito's books, Randy, Ken and B.J.'s autobiographies in the beginning of their books, and this is the best (with Tito's a close second). Although I'm a big MMA fan, I was never a huge fan of Jens until this book. Jens could have turned out to be a janitor and this would still be an incredible story. I was surprised not only by his story, but his admirable honesty and humbleness with which this was written. Two thumbs up!
GREAT! February 24, 2008 Bernard M. Perry 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a mma fighter myself so that might be one reason i liked this book. But i would have to say this is my favorite book i have ever read. It literally had me wanting to read.(and i hate reading) I suggest anyone who likes mma or just fighting to get this book!
See what makes Jens a Champ! February 6, 2008 B. Pawlowski 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Very good read, it's a bit on the short side but very good. It's really great to get a chance to see inside the mind of someone who overcame what he did. It will change you view of "Lil Evil" and make you an instant fan.
