Current UFC star Kyle Noke is the second youngest of the four boys (Nelson, Adam and Denym are the others in the quartet) and while they are all now grown up and living separate lives, it explains why Adam gets ill watching his younger brother compete in the Octagon.

This Saturday the family will go through it all again when 31-year-old Kyle has his first bout since August when he faces undefeated American Andrew Craig on the UFC on FX: 2 card at Sydney’s Allphones Arena.

It will be Kyle’s first foray back into the cage since his submission loss against Ed Herman in Milwaukee when the Dubbo fighter’s knee was sprained as a result of a sickening inverted heel hook.

Now based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Adam and Nelson run a mixed martial arts gym and Adam said he spends a lot of time analysing what Kyle is doing right and wrong in his fights.

“Geez it makes me crook in the guts watching him,” Adam said this week.

“With Nelson and myself teaching MMA we know what he is doing right and wrong in his fights and we know the dangers involved in the sport.

“That heel hook he lost to last time - I was teaching that to some kids the other week and I told them that as soon as they got hold of the heel they weren’t allowed to put pressure on it. It’s a brutal move.

“Kyle wasn’t himself in that fight but the good thing is he has come through it and even though I’ll be crook on Saturday it will be good to watch him doing what he loves.”

Adam said that growing up, Kyle wasn’t a really keen fighter but would join in if something was brewing.

So it has come as a small surprise that the ‘quiet’ Noke brother has ended up making a career out of such an intense sport.

“When we were growing up Nelson and I would blue a bit because we were the older ones, and Nelson would always have Kyle and Denym on his side because he was the eldest and they looked up to him a bit,” Adam said.

“That changed over time and we all had our fights but we were always there to support each other.”

And so it will be again on Saturday when Nelson, Adam and Denym, along with parents Peter and Vicki, and childhood friend Brendon Dunstan sit front row to watch Kyle in action.

“It’s good when he has these fights back in Australia because it gives us a chance to see him,” Adam said.

“He was home a couple of months ago to do some press conferences and I managed to catch him in Brisbane but apart from that it was when he fought here last year.

“Thank God for Skype because it’s really the only way we get to communicate properly with him.”

UFC on FX: 2 will be screened live on Fox Sports 3 and FuelTV this Saturday.
