EXTRAORDINARY Tale Of Building MMA Career While On The Run | Story of Shem Rock | Oktagon MMA
Спорт
Hear the story of Liverpool MMA star Shem Rock. After getting into trouble with the law during his teenage years & being accused of a crime he didn't commit, Shem fled to Thailand where he fell in love with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, before going to Malaysia and finding a coach that put him on the straight and narrow - leading him to win professional titles in the sport. But as he grew more successful, his past started to catch up with him. This is his story of how he dealt with that adversity, battling with his past to training with the likes of Paddy Pimblett on his way to being signed by Oktagon.

I knew this lad when I was younger and to see the growth in him is a good thing to finally take something positive and make something of himself
This lad could have a film made about his story and he hasn't even got in the UFC yet! Big respect. Buzzin off seeing Paul "the power bottom" Smith training there too! Top lad.
Really inspirational. Amazing to see you change your life around and more importantly, wanting to try help kids who are in a similar position you were in when you were younger. Be proud of yourself Shem.

😂😂 I wonder would you still find him so "inspirational" if it had been your mum he injured by throwing a brick through her front window, leaving her fearing for her safety for months?
Teacher was pimpin with his modified Volvo Polo though mate, it was so good of a sleeper it fooled Shem.

@@ads2829 nice m8,that was my other thought but the comment above just beat it to first place for me,but only because i thought the term would of went straight over the heads of todays 'Yoot'. Speaking as a 41 yr old Geordie bloke. Good job i never made vocational excuses on same logic as Shem because my head teacher had a citroen dolly 2cv (upside down pram) lol

go ed Shem laa! best of luck, mate!
Yes lad! 👊👊👊
I heard about Shem a couple of years back and his story. He's a mega humble, hard working absolute talent and I'm proud to sponsor him. Some people talk the good talk about turning their life around but Shem does is with integrity. I'd sincerely recommend supporting him and if anyone is thinking about sponsoring him I'd encourage them to do it, he's a gentleman and I'm excited for him and his future on and off the mats.

Im only messing btw with my comment above,its all love,i always give respect where due 100%,keep on keeping on bro. With the uk mma,bjj and bare knuckle scene growing you may be well suited for managing/promoting/scouting /recruiting/training all under the same banner as an agency (Shem Rocks Rollers)* just a thought lad. Let me know with a reply if you want to. Im only in Newcastle
Fair play to Shem, he seems a proper sound lad.
What a story
Legend 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
Belter story brother mad how life changes 👊🏽💯
Great story, Like a movie. Great watch!
Big up Shem rock ❤
Good luck 👍
Well done turning your life around lad
Watched a podcast of shems a while ago he’s a proper boss fella sound as fuck people stereotype them but near enough most scousers I’ve ever met are salt of the earth 👌abd shem is really inspirational n helping the young kids giving back brilliant stuff I’m glad he found his niche, fighting I wish him all the best in his mixed martial arts career I hope he has a lot of success respect Shem brother 🤝👏👏

Amen 🙏 💯 right
When they make the film, Barry Keoghan better play him!
Love this as a martial artist myself but he didn't fall in love with wrestling as in the description, he fell in love with BJJ, big difference. And I know the feeling of wanting that knowledge my brother, BJJ is addictive.

Sounds exactly like my story, but we were all over the UK! I became or had to become from a shy smoker to the hardest mtfk around any area. Then started boxing but wasted my talent by doing dumb tish!! Kuffed an amazing job and opportunity due to drugs and drinking etc etc doing dumb shit cos I was still living in the same shitty places
Never been more motivated to try BJJ
