Manchester Top Team Unleashes MMA Magic…
Strap your shin guards on, folks, because Carl Prince, a coach with more pep than Pep himself, has turned Manchester into the Holy Grail of UFC stardom! Imagine strutting through a Las Vegas casino with a nondescript fighter only for him to get mobbed because of his Manchester-made mojo! That’s exactly how Ateba Gautier’s UFC journey sparkled, like finding a winning lottery ticket in your fish and chips.
Since 2019, Prince has morphed Manchester Top Team from an MMA backroom brawler’s club into a multi-gym supernova, channeling his inner Mancunian wizardry borrowed from the field antics of Manchester City. Some say his inspiration came from his chat with an African VIP during a post-match bash in Abu Dhabi. It was less ‘Godfather’ and more ‘Octagonfather’ — Prince quickly realized he could scoop up raw talent from the African continent, bringing them to Manchester like he’s assembling the Avengers of the Octagon!
With promises as over-the-top as a Peter Crouch goal celebration, Prince dreams of bulldozing his dojo into a colossal combat colosseum. Picture a UFC Performance Institute with accents of tea and crumpets! The man’s vision: gym branches sprouting up like mushrooms in soggy Tameside fields, all while converting teenagers so focused they dodge tackles and throw uppercuts at stratospheric ceilings of the future. Aim high, and Manchester Top Team will defy gravity across the UFC and PFL galaxies!
