To be honest, it didn&#8217;t inspire me to go training like the David Goggin&#8217;s book did, but it was immensely entertaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started listening to the book one evening, when the rest of the family was upstairs asleep &#8211; bad idea because I was too scared to get any shuteye after the story about some guy in a &#8216;black KKK&#8217; hood trying to set his house on fire. Possibly a slight spoiler, sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book goes on to describe how Bisping started his MMA career &#8211; or martial arts training at least, with a guy called Paul Davis. Who I think is this guy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oN9d3n-utcU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=25&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He trained a form of Jiu Jitsu, which was basically MMA without the vast mixture of evolved techniques and styles that we see today. It involved stand up striking, takedowns and submission wrestling &#8211; very similar to BJJ by the looks of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like myself, Michael had a bit of a nightmare start to his working life. He had no direction and ended up working jobs with little prospects such as in a slaughterhouse and in an upholstery shop. I could empathise with how shit this can be, with a first class degree and a Master&#8217;s degree in nutrition, I was stuck working in a gym for minimum wage for years; which was made worse by my family constantly bollocking me for not getting a decent job &#8220;show me the job online and I&#8217;ll apply for it, ya cunt&#8221; was my last resort rebuttal in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, back to Micheal &#8211; he decided to apply to the army to be a boxer; that didn&#8217;t work out for him though &#8211; I won&#8217;t say why &#8211; so as a last resort, feeling a bit hopeless, he emails his old Jiu Jitsu coach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He ends up training MMA in Nottingham, and ends up winning a couple of British Light Heavy Weight titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book then talks about the aditions for The Ultimate Fighter and then his time on the  show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book is then basically a step by step outline of his MMA fights, his family growing up and his injuries. The nastiest one being the eye injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qF01km0iSYo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it&#8217;s interesting to listen to him talk about what actually happened in the fights, I didn&#8217;t realise (or remember) for example that Elvis Sinosic had his arm &#8216;popping&#8217; in an arm-lock just prior to Bisping winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there&#8217;s the time he won the belt, of course&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vPAWfWPG-xg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s very entertaining and interesting to hear about how everything came together, eventually for Michael in terms of his MMA career.
