I have always been a fan of The Spaniard...but I have to say...this book allows the reader to get a personal glimpse of his life. I was inspired by the life stories Charlie shares with the reader and the obstacles he faced through his journey to the cage.Reading The Spaniard's story inspired me that we only live once. It reminded me of the importance of taking risks in life. It reminded me that taking risks far out-weigh the regrets that we could potentially live with as we come to the end of our life. This story is all about living life to the fullest and striving for excellence.One other cool aspect of this book...The Spaniard opens up about how important his family is to him. He is obviously a man with purpose and passion when it comes to his wife and daughter. At times, I think we can see superstars like Charlie in only one dimension...meaning...we only see them in the cage. However, I can tell you, that underneath this elite athlete is a man who really knows what is important in life (Family).Do yourself a favor...pick up this book. You will be inspired in so many facets in your life! I know I am!Larry HagnerThe Good Dad ProjectAuthor of "The Dad's Edge"

By Christopher Lewis An extremely well written story about a top Division 1 NCAA wrestler and HS Spanish teacher (hence the nickname the "Spaniard") who left to become a professional MMA fighter. After winning several Championships on the Regional level he realized his dream of becoming a UFC fighter (11 fights). Fighting in the World's Best MMA organization became a reality, fighting the likes of Johnny Hendricks, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, Rick Story, & Eric Silva. Although he's not done fighting & you can still find him in the gym almost every day he has begun a new chapter in his life as a mentor & motivater.

Nate Marquardt didn’t get it together to fight Rick “The Horror” Story, and in about 24 hours notice, Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman was taking his place, fighting in a Co-Main Event. To those of you familiar with the UFC, he actually got the gladiator treatment before the "Face the Pain" anthem played that night! But if I knew anything, Rick Story was going to smoke this guy in front of a Pittsburgh crowd, about an hour and a half away from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, Brenneman’s hometown. I knew this myself because I’d lived in Windber for a few years, and when I moved on, my parents did as well, about ten minutes away in Johnstown. Well, even if I thought that Brenneman was going to get destroyed, he never got my memo about it, and he pulled off a rather one-sided unanimous decision upset over Rick Story, a UFC Welterweight that most fighters dread fighting! That’s only part of Charlie Brenneman’s story. “Driven” gives a lot more.A lot of people who have watched Charlie Brenneman fight have called him a lay and pray fighter, due to his relying more on his wrestling, and not standing there and slugging it out. But that was how Brenneman won most of his fights, and he fought to win. In saying that, there is so much more to “The Spaniard,” than people give the man credit for. I absolutely loved his own personal journey, from the love of his family, to the embracing support of his in-laws, and ultimately with his choice to surround himself with the right people. He tells of how he came so close in wrestling, only to fall short, and then speaks of his motivation to compete in MMA, with fighting for the UFC being the ultimate goal. And despite him going 4-7 in the UFC, Brenneman turned heads whether fans liked it or not. I liked the guy, and still do!After learning that Brenneman lived so close to me and my parents, I made every last effort to watch all of his UFC fights. Did he ever manage “Fight of the Night” for his efforts? Nope. But he was interesting to watch, and he didn’t just let a man beat him. And to this day, he hasn’t let life get him down, and he encourages other people to this day! Hey, that’s a man to look up to, and somebody I want to read about, even if his book was self-published. And for being self-published, he did a great job with that as well!
