Bisping talks TUF 9 says he worked his team like "British Bulldogs" | read this item

I found this interview with Bisping last night and I wanted to share. I know the U.K team is going to be good from all the records I looked at and I am pumped up to see TUF coming back so I wanted to share.

“Obviously I don’t want to spoil anything, but from the very first episode, when they fight an elimination bout to actually get on the show, these guys gave it 110 per cent.

“They turned up in shape, they trained their a**es off and they fought like British bulldogs. I can say Team UK does Great Britain proud.

“A lot of Americans, be they fighters, fans or even the media, don’t respect British MMA – but Team UK represented British MMA very well, despite being so far from home.

“In spite of being on the road, our British lads were great and they worked extremely hard.

“They really went into this looking at it like the chance of a lifetime. Winning TUF 3 back in 2006 completely changed my life and the lives of my fiancee and two kids. It was a huge turning point.

“I tried to impress upon Team UK what a huge opportunity they had. Yeah, it is hard being away from home for six weeks going crazy in a house with no TV, no radio, no internet or magazines.

“They were training three times a day, but to get into the UFC you have to make sacrifices. I’m proud to say Team UK made those sacrifices.”

Anyone else pumped up for TUF 9?
