'''''Title Fight''''' is a [[Wikipedia: Podcast|podcast]] [[Wikipedia: Novella|novella]] by [[Wikipedia:United States|American]] author [[Scott Sigler]] that combines [[Wikipedia: Science fiction|science fiction]] elements with [[Wikipedia: Mixed_martial_arts|mixed martial arts (MMA)]] fighting. Set in [[The Rookie]] universe, ''Title Fight'', is believed to be the first [[Wikipedia: Novella|novella]] to combine far future aliens and hardcore [[Wikipedia: Mixed_martial_arts|mixed martial arts (MMA)]] action.

==Synopsis==
''Title Fight'' follows [[Korak the Cutter]] and [[Chiyal North|Chiyal "The Heretic" North]], two [[Wikipedia: Mixed_martial_arts|MMA]] fighters, as their paths converge for the unification of the ''[[Galactic Fighting Association|Galactic Fighting Association (GFA)]]'' Championship Title and the ''[[Intergalactic Fighting Association|Intergalactic Fighting Association (IFA)]]'' Championship Title. The GFA and the IFA are competing promotions, so that a fight between the two title champions is not encouraged as the loser would also lose face for his Association. [[Korak the Cutter]] fights for the IFA while [[Chiyal North|Chiyal]] fights for the GFA.

Athletes fight in a octagonal ring officiated exclusively by [[Heavy-G]] [[Ki]]. Unlike the ''[[Galactic Football League|Galactic Football League (GFL)]]'', where body modifications were banned and harshly punished, GFA and IFA fighters are allowed to use body-mods. This is because the [[Creterakian|Creterakians]] rulers did not see individual fighters as threats to their power, where an entire football team with body-mods could be the beginning of an army.

In an effort to be crowned the best fighter in the galaxy, the young and upcoming [[Chiyal North|Chiyal]] publicly challenges the older, more experienced and decorated fighter, [[Korak the Cutter]].

==Promotional Efforts==
===Live Recordings===
The first episode of ''Title Fight'' was recorded live at ''Mysterious Galaxy'' bookstore in San Diego and ''Book Soup'' bookstore in Los Angeles. The stops were planned as part of the ''Contagious'' book tour and the reading was an exclusive benefit for fans in attendance.

===Co-Authored Episodes===
Continuing in his innovative writing style, author [[Scott Sigler]] has collaborated with fellow writer [http://www.matt-wallace.com/ Matt Wallace] in order to bring the story of ''Title Fight'' to life. [http://www.matt-wallace.com/ Matt Wallace] of the ''Variant Frequencies'' podcast and whom the [[FDO]] refers to as ''the most dangerous man in podcast fiction'', is a long time podcast author with several titles to his name including short story collection entitled ''The Next Fix'' and the ''Failed City Monologues''.

Refer to the [http://www.scottsigler.com/wiki/index.php/Title_Fight#Episode_Downloads Episode Download] section for more details around which episodes were co-authored.

===Characters Named for Fans===
