BJ Penn's book listed at number three in the top selling sports books

I was pretty surprised. I opened up my issue of ESPN The Magazine (With Prince Fielder on the cover) and of the top selling sports books/novels in the US this was number three. The reason I was surprised was because all of the other entries were novels and biographies, and for an instructional to be selling that many copies is crazy.

Just thought you'd all like to know.

i purchased the book. It is great book but i thought it would have a bit more autobiography to it rather than just a few pages at the start

The MMA book to read is "a fighter's heart" by Sam sheridan.
