European MMA sensation Shem Rock loves knowing that his story has helped others, even if he’s tired of sharing it.

Earlier this year, Ultimate Fighting Championship signed the 12-1-1 Liverpudlian to a contract following his successful five-fight run under the OKTAGON MMA banner. Thus far, Rock, 31, has not yet booked his Octagon debut, but his story is already earning him a lot of attention from fight fans.

When he was 19 years old, Rock was arrested in connection with an aggravated burglary, a crime which Rock insists he did not commit.
