    I used to know Michael Bisping back in the day. Well, he was an acquaintance. He was the "hardest man in the town" and had this legendary rep. People always used to say he did Ultimate Fighter but I never really believed it because I used to see the guy in the pub and I just couldn't imagine anyone from our ****ty down doing anything like that. But low and behold...

    He actually threatened to twat me once, so it seems I had a lucky escape.
    I'd knock him out the bum

      I'd never seen a UFC bout until the other night. What a ****ing joke! A couple punches and then a ****load of rolling about on the floor.
      If people find this **** entertaining than they're welcome to it. I'll stick to a proper sport,thanks.

          Well peopel are saying "How does this Help Haye?" It really doesn't. His main goal here, it seems, is to help Bisping with his stand-up game in the octagon. Gotta give David props for helping out his countryman with his punching game.

          David's got a real nack for helping out others, I think once he's done fighting his promoting will go a long ways, he's already got a ****load of British prospects I read about, it was said he paid them "ridiculous money" to turn pro instead of staying in the amateurs.

            I'm sorry bud but i don't have a ****ing clue. I'd probably recognise their names if I saw them but i can't bring them to mind off the top of my head.

            I know i've only seen one full bout(and a few seconds here and there), so i'm wrong to judge the whole sport but i didn't see enough to make me want to watch again.

            Each to their one I guess.

              How does this help David Haye? may get him some "cool" points with UFC heads here and there.

              on another note, friendly interaction between athletes of MMA and boxing can only be a good thing.

                It might not exactly help Haye, but if Bisping can teach him to break clinches and throw punches before the other guy expects it, that can't be bad thing with todays hug and hit heavyweights.

                  "I will also be learning some grappling and clinching techniques from Mike to incorporate into my boxing game"

                  Grappling and Clinching??!!!....in boxing???!!! WTF. This doesnt do good. It is more better for haye to spar with bum boxers than mma fighter. MMA stand up is different in boxing. You cant apply check hook and shoulder roll in MMA. Just the same, you can't grapple or clinch in boxing, well unless your in a verge of getting knocked-out

                    Prying clinches for one. Using your arm to push away from the body. Flash combos leaving the clinche. etc.

                      maybe haye is fighting ruiz next......

                      some brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo would be much needed in a fight with him.
