Not everyone is a fighter.
Everyone is fighting something.
You do not need an opponent to know what pressure feels like. Sometimes the fight is a difficult decision, a setback you cannot stop replaying or the responsibility of staying steady when other people depend on you.

FAQ
Questions before you order.
Is this a signed edition?
No. The presale edition offered here is the official hardcover; it is not a signed edition.
When will my hardcover ship?
The confirmed dispatch window will be shown here and before you pay. Your shipping confirmation includes tracking once the parcel is handed over for dispatch. Arrival time depends on your destination and the carrier.
When is the private event?
It is planned for approximately two weeks after release. We will confirm the date, time and time zone. Private access details are sent shortly before the event to eligible customers.
How does the giveaway work?
The Official Rules set out eligibility, entry methods and how winners are selected and verified. Buying more copies does not add entries.
Is this book only for MMA fans?
No. The stories come from a life in combat sports, but the book is about discipline, willpower and mental strength in everyday life.
What does Priority Access mean?
Earlier access to selected future Javier offers, subject to the terms and availability of each offer. It does not mean every future event is free or that a place is guaranteed.
What if I need to change or cancel my order?
Use the contact page or your order confirmation. The details are in our refund policy.
When do I get the presale bonuses?
Right after your pre-order: your presale status is active, behind-the-scenes updates arrive by email during the presale, and the private live event follows after release.
Is the reader bonus in the book the same as the presale exclusives?
No. The reader bonus printed in the book is available to readers of that edition. It is separate from the official-shop presale exclusives.
