Pride of the North
Bisping - the warrior, the joker, the family man ! This is a must watch documentary. It gives a great background into this well known UFC fighter. From his humble rocky beginnings to middleweight champion.
Some disliked his personality in the UFC but he did what he had to in order to get his title shot. Hard work 100% of the time. Slowly winning over his critics.
Myself also coming originally from the North of England / a martial artist and being roughly the same age it was definitely amusing to see how Michael's 'adventures' in the 90's were and compared to my own.
Hes always had that cheeky humor. Two of his outstanding lines - 1. When competing on the Ultimate Fighter in the interview - 'hey hey you better not be putting those subtitles on every time I speak' And after his Anderson Silva fight the commentator asks him so where do you go from here Michael - 'well probably to hospital to get my face fixed'
To have achieved the ultimate goal in the UFC and doing it the hard way is an inspiration. Not to mention the sacrifice and support he had from his wife.
100% recommended. If you like him you will love this. If you dislike him then you may come out of this with new found admiration.
