for me i left school at 16 in england i came from a family love my mom and dad
dearly but you know
they weren't together and uh you know it was a tough environment it was it was
a very very tough
environment as i said i left school at 16 went straight into dead-end jobs
working minimum wage
in factories one thing i what shitty job the shittiest jobs you could ever
fucking imagine
really you name it i've done them all yeah oh god what are you doing over there
anything and
everything you know driving a forklift working in a slaughterhouse fucking
packing furniture you know
nothing door-to-door sales no yeah yeah double glazing for donuts no double glazing
windows
donuts yeah you have much more success selling double glazed donuts in the u.s
yeah exactly you're
right yeah no double glazed windows i never sold a lot of them it's not like a
scam is it you know
it's like modern windows you know double glazed windows what were you guys
using before that
just fucking single single glazed
no everyone has double glazed windows you probably have double glazed windows
and anyway so i was trying
to get people to do that and i was never selling much yeah i didn't know if you
were selling soap or
something back then i was way bigger i was way bigger yeah and i had a shaved
head and you know yeah and i
was up there and my boss was like you're not selling very much michael i'm like
yeah he's like you
think you mean a bit intimidating at the door because you're a pretty loud big
person i'm like no i don't
think so who's gonna buy a glass window from a sign up uh so anyway um yeah i
did you know all these
shitty jobs and then you know i'd met my wife and we had two kids and um i was
uh working as a quality
control inspector at a furniture store furniture factory and my boss there
great guy nice guy very
intelligent and we chat away and he used to say to me he'd say michael you're a
smart kid is this what
you want to do for the rest of your life wow i was like fuck no he said well
have a think about what
you want to do have a thing and then come back to me and talk to me because you
don't want to do this
for your rest of your life i'm like yeah i know anyway a few days pass so there
was so it was some
guy not to interject like yeah sure no please but i'm curious about this so it
was like somebody it was
actually a guy who stopped you and said it was a guy he was my four-minute work
and you really
trusted this guy yeah you looked up to him yeah yeah he was a nice guy you know
it's interesting
how when you're young especially if you're a young man like you know i didn't
have like a lot of like
father figures or anything like that around so any man that would give me like
attention or like show
actual interest you know that wasn't a damn pedophile or something i don't know
if you have those in your
country but no unfortunately we do i think they're universally okay around we
should make them fight each
other yeah 100 i'd buy that paper i'd sanction that one dude i'd call me kellerman
in that one bro yeah
yeah yes but um but um but so i i can just imagine like the effect that that
has like when some guy
like shows you interest and is like here have a think about what you want to do
it because obviously
it resonated with you yeah for me i was always i don't know i always had a
problem with authority
figures right i was always that kid i had too much to say i was a loud mouth i
was always getting in
trouble you know i was an idiot i was i was a dick you know uh and this guy he
he he knew how to speak
to me he was he was a nice guy anyway and he said that to me he said you need
to think about what you
want to do and fortunately the job didn't require much brain power so it gave
me a lot of time to
think and i thought about it and i went up to him one day i said mick i've
decided what i want to do
and he put down his clipboard and he came over and he's like what is it and he
thought i was going to
say okay so i'm going to go to school i'm going to study to be this that and
the other and i said
and this is 2003 i said i'm going to be a professional fighter and he was like
oh my god
these guys are fucking more i thought you were smart i thought what do you mean
you're going to be a
professional fighter i'm like mick i used to do a lot of martial arts when i
was a kid okay and he's
like and he's looking at me like what are you talking about what is this he's
like i gave this
fucktard three weeks to think about this exactly and i'm like no seriously mick
trust me i was very
good and i brought in this old kickboxing video of me uh kickboxing he's like
oh yeah all right you
know they said that was just fueled off aggression though there was no real
violence and the guy
sucked i'm like yeah i know but you know anyway so uh so yeah i quit work i
moved to another city
started training and the rest is history wow yeah so that's kind of how i got
