When it comes to fighting, you could say I don’t fit the stereotype. It's funny, everyone thinks there is a story when it comes to MMA fighters. Who died in their life? Fighting in school. Some kind of loveable rogue. But none of them apply to me. I just love martial arts, and I love competing, That is my story - I don't fit the narrative. Growing up in Manchester, I had a fantastic childhood g...

Manon Fiorot - "I made a promise to my dad I would become champion of the world"
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 роки тому
I made a promise to my dad I would become champion of the world. I am where I am today because of my father. He was a wrestler, and he was the one who got me into karate and a kid, and then a little later into MMA. When he trained I would always watch him and try to learn - even though he is no longer with me, he was, and always will be my inspiration. Read my full story: fightersvoice.com/ Fol...

I watched my mom get murdered in front of me, it is a miracle I am alive My dad was a Kurdish immigrant in Italy, and that’s where he met my mom. They moved back to Kurdistan and he was working for the government. I am not really sure what he did but from an early age I knew there was always someone after him. We would constantly move around from house to house. If he wasn’t there, which was a ...

From the age of 14 seeing fighting on TV, I knew that was what I wanted to do. I loved fighting since I was a little kid in school. I was always getting into trouble and into fights. I hated everything about school. I had the perfect childhood, and I am thankful to my mum and dad for that - but I just loved fighting. I am not an angry person, I just love the feeling of fighting. The rush it giv...

I had just gone through seven years of hell. It was time to do something for me, and I knew that was going to Thailand. About a week after I finished school I just got up and left for YOKKAO for three weeks. That was the place I wanted to go to train and for those three weeks I worked my arse off. Morning, noon, and night. Learning from the Thai's, cleaning up the gym, tidying up the pads - it ...

Fighting can put you in a dark place, giving back helps put you back into the light. I have spent my whole fighting career harming people; it is what I do for a living. Now I want to balance things out and help people. I am finding that balance. Yes, I still compete, and I still love the competition, but I don’t wish harm on the other person. I need to find that balance in my life. Otherwise yo...

I am at my happiest when my hand is being raised after winning a fight. It is one of the best feelings you can imagine. Having won fights in Dubai in 2013 I got an opportunity to coach at a sport centre that was opening. And that’s how it all happened. They brought me over from the UK, and now I am here at Team Nogueira coaching, fighting and training. I want to keep on working hard, grinding, ...

I have always been attracted to danger. When I was young this would be in the form of fast cars and buggies, but one day I got reckless and it nearly cost me my life. I was only 16 then, and thanks to God, I was able to pull through. From that day on, I said I would still seek danger, but in a much safer way. Growing up in Kuwait I had always wanted to practice martial arts, but was told I had ...

    Maybe Tai saw my Twitter messages stating to go overseas & train at ATT or AKA. I mentioned he needed to get out of his comfort zone. Training with mark hunt in western Sydney had its limits. Too many distractions. He’s definitely taking it seriously now!
