Hey mate, thanks a lot for coming here today!

I'm looking forward to UFC Glasgow! I'll be attending, should be a great atmosphere!

My question is who do you feel are some of the best up-coming guys in Scottish MMA today? Amateurs or professional, that maybe we will see soon in the UFC or other larger orgs.

Yay!
Welcome Steve!

How are you feeling tonight?

 

[Winter-John]

Tennents or Newcastle Brown?

 

[AOM]

Rangers or Celtic...all joking aside good luck on your next fight...

 

[Cam Zink]

Damn you wrecked Lauzon.

 

[lsa]

Steven you beat two vets in your last fights in Ross and Jlau.
How does that feel?

Both guys are known for coming to fight.

 

[Persuadertron]

Who do you think you match up the best against out of T Ferg, Conor or Nurmagomedov and why?

The biggest prospects I know of are danny Henry EFC featherweight champion who I think deserves a shot for UFC Glasgow and stevie mcintosh is one to watch for in the future. I have loads of guys in my gym that are beasts!!

Probably Conor as Ferguson has long limbs and taller and khabib is a monster at grappling!

 

[Cam Zink]

If you could fight any celebrity, living or dead, who would you fight?
