Author Josh Rosenblatt was not a fighter. He was a writer and pacifist who didn't think MMA fighting  was for him--until he fell in love with it. 

Josh joins Santino's World where he talks about his new book "Why We Fight" where he (an "everyday guy") decides to train for and fight in a sanctioned MMA fight. 

Josh also talks about what life was like working as an editor for Vice Media's "Fightland" website, Jewish history, and why he took a cage fight as a middle-aged man who had never been in a fight before. 

Buckle up, this was a great experience listening to Josh talk about fighting and life. He's a very smart, philosophical human and a great guest.
