Photographer Kevin Lynch's new book, Octagon is the ultimate gift for the ultimate fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championships.

As big, bulky and intimidating as many of the fighters featured inside, the coffee table-crushing 20.5 x 26-inch book is packed with over 800 pages of rare color and black & white photos of combatants moments before, and immediately after, they battle inside the Octagon. All your favorite fighters are here, including Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Rich Franklin, Ken Shamrock, Tito Ortiz and more.

Packed in a handmade, leather-bound clamshell box, and rumored to weigh in at over 70 pounds, Octagon will set you back a cool $2500 for one of the 450 limited editions produced. If you want to go for one of the additional 150 that come with signed, limited edition, chromogenic prints of the cover, be prepared to part with at least $7,500. It's enough to make the average guy tap out.

If you want to see the book without having to take out a second mortgage, it has been making the rounds on the art gallery and book store circuit worldwide. Check www.octagon-book.com for places and dates.
