UFC founding father Art Davis has written a book (with fellow soccer/MMA commentator Sean Wheelock) on the early days of the UFC — Is This Legal?: The Inside Story of The First UFC from the Man Who Created It.

Bloody Elbow, always interested in MMA history, took advantage of the opportunity for a long conversation with Davie in which he pins his interest in pioneering mixed martial arts as his attempt to answer a question that had always stuck in his mind …
