UFC Fighter’s Top 5 Books To Read Now!

[@wlf5206]

You forgot to mention "How to be a Wag" by Ian Garry's wife

[@NBASTONESALESMAN]

👌

[@GG-if9uo]

dead 🤣🤣🤣

[@thebeatingcow595]

Ahh yes, good to see a fellow book connoisseur 🧐. A true must-read book for any distinguished gentleman’s collection

[@Rhyds86]

Greetings, fellow man of culture.

[@HighlandCastleFarm]

My sides 🤣🤣😂😂

[@RisenOnFire]

1. 33 strategies of war - robert greene 2. Dune 3. Mastery - robert greene 4. Taming your Gremlins - Rick Carson 5. The inner game of tennis - timothy gallway I recommend you watch the video though, Cory has a lot of good things to say.

[@jaythakkar2558]

I’m surprised he didn’t mention the book of 5 rings by Miyamoto Musashi, or the art of War

[@12345idiotsluggage]

For some videos, you can read a list and move on because the list covers the video. This is not that video. You should watch the entire video because that's the only value. And this video has more value per second than most all MMA-ish videos on YT. I'm super guilty of this. In fact, you should watch this video several times until the lessons get ingrained into your skull. Big thanks to Cory for putting in the time to create this. More important, big thanks to creating content that bucks the TT/IG trend of garbage on the intertubes.

[@Blindstoic]

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

[@markcorrigan3930]

Not a single victory belt book?

[@biskit8050]

Robert greene is the man

[@DPham1]

Thank you for bringing the "philosopher" as well as the "warrior" to the fighting space. A lot of MMA fans might forget, but many of history's greatest warriors were also deep thinkers when they weren't, you know...waging war.

[@urdad9853]

Sandman that statement "I'm not smart I just read books that smart people write." is powerful. Your genius is that you have humility and thats a trait that isn't talked about much. I look for wisdom outside of myself also and you said a few things that I'll be trippin on this week.....Really digging this "station" keep it up and thanx

[@keion_arknights]

Yeah lol, reading books and taking away actionable steps kind of inherently sets you far above the average. It's like a programmer saying "I'm not smart, I'm just good at googling things and applying it."

[@ThugMuffined]

Nutsack rider 🥜

[@wayfaringstranger8430]

The smartest people surround themselves with smarter people and learn from them. Except @jodawgsup. He could be surrounded by the world's top minds and he would still have an IQ of 72.

[@jodawgsup]

@@wayfaringstranger8430 you 100% drool when you speak

[@wayfaringstranger8430]

@@jodawgsup You misspelled "I drool when I speak." And keep that to yourself, buddy.

[@fuegoredlego]

Glad to see a UFC fighter talk about the inner game of tennis. That book is a great introduction for any sort of competition!

[@xaphan8581]

I’m so glad more fighters are starting channels. I went from barely knowing who you were to being such a huge fan.

[@Cranndaddy]

Sandman is so down to earth man. Offers the best advice and speaks to everyone with respect from all the podcasts etc I’ve seen. What an amazing guy

[@FreemanWelterweight]

You're doing an amazing job with this channel (or station, lol), keep up the good work Cory

[@mf_ronin6892]

Last ronin on the shelf 🔥🔥 banger content from this channel

[@angelsimental5356]

Corry, this channel is gold. You’re definitely tapping into a niche that the mma community wants/needs. Thanks for uploading these. Cheers!

[@supersaiyan4rambo]

Agreed 💯

[@RMichaelHimself]

Right? This channel is really filling (and/or satisfying) a niche; "itch" I've had for years, yet didn't know how to express. The book recommendations, the specific nuances of fighter's tactics and fundamentals. It's like the MMA equivalent of Levy doing a chess lesson video.

[@Houcnc]

@@RMichaelHimselfcheck out gsp coach firas zahabi on tristar gym channel he has a philosophy background and im sure you’ll enjoy his content

[@Goarted]

Watching your stuff and hearing you on podcasts over the years, you give amazing advice on a growth mindset and how to really improve as a person. As someone who sometimes struggles with discipline and setting goals watching your stuff has really helped me understand the process of not just martial arts but life and the mindset that you need to get better at things. Thanks for being such a positive influence not only in mine but I'm sure other people's lives. Keep doing what you're doing brotha and can't wait to see you get that title shot and win!

[@DesignedbyDavidd]

Cory dropping all the heat. Just bought 33 strategies of war and taming your gremlins!

[@TheCallumTR]

Loving the copy of Watchmen in the standing in the background.

[@groovetomanny]

bruh i didnt even know you had a channel! what a fking gem. thank you for the knowledge

[@Revengeofthe-nerds]

Cory, I highly recommend Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. You have to be super patient with it and some pages and lines you have to re-read like 10 times before it makes sense, but if you persist with it, it delves into the nature of war like no other book I've ever read. Genuinely frightening, but absolutely beautiful at the same time. Here's a quote: "War was always here. Even before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner .”

[@Jimmyjim4]

Damn that’s ice cold

[@lancestabler7650]

I second this. All of McCarthy is excellent. Blood Meridian is easily his magnum opus though and stands as the greatest book I've read to date, and I've read hundreds across a large number of genres.

[@Revengeofthe-nerds]

@@lancestabler7650 Yep. Every McCarthy book I've read has blown me away but BM is etched into my brain in a way that no other book has. A true genius.

[@thomaslawson7469]

McCarthy is a good writer, but everyone be forewarned: his shit is dark and grisly, and not to speak ill of him since he’s passed on, but sometimes he just comes off as a miserable and wretched person through his writing (a la Stephen King). For example, “Child of God” by him is one of the most revolting things I’ve ever read, and because I read it for a class we discussed how he was poor and living in Tennessee at the time he wrote the book and may have been projecting onto those around him. Anyways, someone here lmk if you’ve read it and agree.

[@lancestabler7650]

@thomaslawson7469 Suttree is the most realistic personification of McCarthy and his upbringing in the south. The book itself is semi autobiographical and all of his books take place in the south. He is considered a southern Gothic writer. Why do you ascribe the wretchedness in Child Of God to McCarthy himself?

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Would love to have you on the channel some time to talk about your journey through books! Great video

[@Liderinvictor]

lets fix that audio! love the chanel, huge fan!

[@boratheexplora]

Thanks man! Loving the channel.

[@chasevanwagner5733]

Corey the man bestowing knowledge upon us thank you

[@brandon-xc5kk]

Wouldn’t expect anything less from a boii of the jack podcast. Exquisite

[@Samjr-y2k]

Starting taming the gremlin tomorrow! Pls make more of these videos as you come across more books! ✌️

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

The topic and the background music, better setting would be a cafe with a fireplace hahaha. Thanks for the content

[@justbleedprod.9414]

It’s refreshing to have somewhere to listen to real shit man. Love the content bro go get that strap

[@michaelmorris6986]

Love that your doing videos like this man.

[@GamesWithBrainz]

Juri got me on the book of five rings and now corey is making me want to buy that strategies of war book. I already have some dune books. I notice he has watchmen behind him too 👍

[@anasshahid224]

Solid reading list Cory, will check them out 😊

[@Bravo6goindark]

dammm cory dropping a banger

[@jaystinthunder3689]

This is the video I was waitin for! Thanks, Cory! You’re a champ🎉

[@ericgarcia5706]

I’ve been waiting for a video like this since you started talking about books you were reading on podcasts

[@chrisdiaz4876]

What about Blood Meridian? Has helped me immensely and on a scale I can't even begin to consider, for the teachings I've gained from it are near unlimited. It teaches one a lot about how to actually inherit, teaches you a lot about the violence that men & nations replicate amongst themselves. And how to control it

[@monkpato]

Great video and really unique content in this sphere.

[@DsqaureD0495]

Super excited to watch your content man. I’m a big fan of your mindset. Looking sharp too!

[@buttox]

Dune is the last thing i was expecting from this video, love it

[@bluey1232]

Bro Cory, I think your audio is peaking. Might be a microphone issue or a post production issue. Keep on posting tho dog! Love your unique approach to MMA!

[@drewdrewson1384]

Hey Corey, there is a podcast you would likely love. Its called "founders". The host just recaps biographies of great people, but its super detailed and he weaves in other biographies as well in each episode. Start with the Jay-Z episode and I think you would be hooked.

[@HollowSaga-]

Need another video like this Cory

[@DurdensVision]

I'd be interested in hearing about some of your more unorthodox training methods if there are any to note. Also, how being out in nature may help you as a martial artist.

[@francescolapietra930]

With Watchmen right behind you i was really hoping you were gonna talk about that too!

[@abdulsani5822]

Cory's such a cool dude man!

[@kingshighway123]

Best station on youtube

[@justaname935]

wow- awesome- i am so glad youtube showed me your channel

[@TheIvanMilky]

I've read mastery and the inner game of tennis before, both great. Mastery is a must read for understanding progression in anything. Love the station bro!

[@Subahibi]

Great video quality and background, feels real organic. The mic however, is terrible. Highly recommend getting an actual mic. Regardless video was great, hope to see more from you Cory!

[@landenx]

You should have a book review showdown with the monkey king

[@LarsForMars]

cory with the banger content 🔥

[@tokyosmitsubishi]

Awesome video Cory!

[@adventurefreaksss]

The idea of Mike Perry reading a book would be hilarious.

[@HC-dv4pm]

Video still game out great even with the microphone error. Solid. Thanks!

[@tomp9036]

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@DreamcastQ]

Subscribed , good channel

[@parker5548]

Sandman has the best youtube channel out of all fighters, by far.

[@superdroski7813]

Nice video Sandhagen. Fr though most UFC fighters either talk just fight breakdowns or games lol. Which is cool too but it's nice to see someone go against the grain, especially from one of my favorite fighters 👊👍

[@anthonybrownbrown8602]

last time i saw cory he was a UFC fighter had to click the video to see if it was him. life goes on I guess

[@TJ0510]

Hey Cory I would love another list like this specifically for philosophy that you would recommend in general not just for fighters!

[@AlanRoy-ft4iz]

Thank you Cory ❤

[@mcdonalchee]

Awesome stuff

[@May91102]

Prefer station. Feels like more character lol. Enjoying all the video's Mr Sandman ❤

[@varunaggarwal102]

Need more of this

[@mchu7371]

they say reading is time traveling and I wholeheartedly agree

[@leatheryfoot6354]

I like the idea that Cory just recommended Dune because he just really liked Dune, and it had nothing to do with MMA.

[@artvandelayed]

Respect. Good picks.

[@ubitsyaK]

hey, i know you guys have fought before so idk if it would be weird. but can we get a tj dillashaw technique breakdown? i’d love to hear your insight into his style and what you think about it, especially since you guys have shared the cage together

[@mindful4125]

I see watch men. I see the last ronin. I see Bruce Lee. I see a ton of books that i dig. I like this guy even more..

[@julianboyd8719]

fitting that sandman would pick dune! Love it

[@HicksMMAandFitness]

Mastery has helped me out a lot. Also, Robert Greene is a great author.

[@SuperJcoleFan]

I'll like to recommend My Life with Wing Chun by Grandmaster William Cheung. He compares Wing Chun to Mike Tyson's style. Rafael Ramos recommends this book also

[@MinkJasonChoreo]

Grab a rode mic brutha for that crispy quality! Thanks for the content

It’s fixed in the next one haha!

great video you da man

I noticed you have the Alan Moore Watchmen and TMNT Ronin in the background. Wondering if you ever read the Sandman graphic novel series by Neil Gaiman? I heard it was really good and curious if you picked it up. Anyways, big fan and I think it would be really cool if you did some more book reviews! Congrats on your winning streak; hope the Sandman Train keeps rollin'!

[@nathanandrade29]

Good vid consider coming out in ur next fight with a mustache 🙏🙏

[@tc-py9yb]

Hey Cory just wanted to let you know the video is great but the audio quality is pretty bad. You could probably just buy like a $100-300 USB Microphone and that would probably fix 90% of issues (although it could be a problem on the software side if you think you're already using a good mic)

[@beaniesandmedleys2822]

Man Cory this is some great content. Well I read dune 1 and at the start it was difficult to keep up but after 100 pages or so it was nice the world building was amazing Do you have any recommendation of something similar to Dune

[@marspl]

Nothing will ever cure your dune itch but more Dune. Read all of herberts books and reread them again and again. Each read only gets better

[@Pyron.]

The power of now is great aswell
