Yuup random guy missing a tooth and made it his schtick, seen him bouncing around in the ufc vlogs, one of "dana's friends" so you shouldn't care.
He was in all of those vlogs because he was doing a photo book about the UFC called "Into the Cage". For like 2 years he went backstage and was taking pics and shit for the book.
It's actually pretty great. Some really, really good shots in there. I was surprised to be honest. It focuses 99% on modern day UFC, is very pro Dana/Zuffa biased, and doesn't really tell the story of the early UFC accurately. It's not a great historic account on MMA history, but it does have some cool stories on the old school guys. Like, the Tooth tracked down Tank at a bar in HB and sat and drank with him and his dad for 2 straight nights. there's pics of them in the bar (Tank/Tooth/Tank's Dad), and stories from Tank, that are very cool and I hadn't read them anywhere else.
However, that is not why I bought the book. Although there are cool things inside text wise, I just wanted the photos. He is a talented photog for sure. Some really great stuff in it. I got it online for $10 in mint shape. Would recommend at that price for sure. Not at the listing price, though.
I really want to get Nagao Susumu's 2 photo books, especially From Vale Tudo To MMA. That one looks awesome. Another MMA photo book I own called Fighter by Reed Krakoff is ok. Just a bunch of pics of UFC fighters standing in front of backdrops. Kinda lame but I got it online for $4... The list price on the jacket of the book was $45, lol. Hipster douche
Anyway TLDR: Tooth put out a cool book with good photos.
