San Jose, California (USA): It was announced today that famed MMA
broadcaster Mauro Ranallo will voice the audiobook version of the acclaimed
novel *Caged*. Written by accomplished MMA fighter and award-winning writer
Cameron Conaway, *Caged* has garnered respect and admiration amongst combat
sports pundits. Now, Ranallo will help bring the words of *Caged* to life.



“Mauro Ranallo is a true wordsmith, and his voice is the most distinctive
in all of MMA,” stated Conaway. “As an artist allowing my work to be
transformed by another artist, it was only natural that I'd choose whoever
creatively intrigued me the most.”



“It’s an honor to be involved with a project like *Caged*,” said Ranallo.
“I love the book, and I believe it’s one that needs to be read and heard.
I’m excited to get to recording it!”



In addition, it was revealed recently that the Kindle version of “Caged” is
available on Amazon.com as a free download today and tomorrow in order to
celebrate National Poetry Month. In fact, it is currently the number one
sports book in the free category on the website.



*Caged* is the true story of a young man who overcomes a family background
and his own inner torment by learning to channel his frustrations into the
physical world of mixed martial arts fighting and the cerebral world of
poetry and writing. It teaches the value of personal reflection, how life's
most painful moments can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of
human nature, and just what is possible when optimism and determination
combine to overcome tough odds. *Caged* shows how the pursuit of two
seemingly disparate passions helped a struggling boy blossom into a simple
man. The result is a literary and lyrical philosophical journey into the
heart and mind of a modern-day warrior.



Mauro Ranallo is a celebrated play-by-play broadcaster who originally made
his impact on the MMA world with Pride Fighting Championships. He then held
the role for EliteXC, and can now be heard as the voice of Showtime’s
Strikeforce programming. In addition to his commentating duties, Mauro also
currently hosts “The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo,” a daily podcast
featuring the biggest names in MMA as his guests.
