Hello From Scotland
Hello Fight forum, first of if this is in the wrong section apologies, ive had a search about and cant really see where else to post it.
Been a member on here for a few months but aint really posted that much. BAD Jumpin Jack!
anyway couple questions i was hoping ye's could help me out with?
1. This has probably been asked a million times, but is there anyway i can get UFC events Live in scotland? i usually watch em on Bravo but just been on the live chat and got myself excited like a little puppy for the fight but have to wait till sunday night 
2. Do any of the british members know anywhere in Scotland i could join a decent mma gym? would love to learn more, Ive done a bit of boxing before, but been in love with mma ever since i watched the first UFC, but mma in my area is pretty sparse (Airdrie/Glasgow, mostly muay thai).
Anyway thanks very much, class forum must say it beats the hell out of sherdog forum with the school kids laughin at boob jokes 
keep up the good work and hello from Bonnie Scotland!

As of June, Setanta will have the full broadcasting rights for the UFC and they will be showing the events live. They'll probably start around 3am GMT.

yeah you're right. I know a few people that have been to the grip house and from what I've heard it's pretty well equipped and have a real variety. Failling that I know it may be a bit to travel but sauchie near Stirling has started MMA and I knwo they have a good selection of grapplers and strikers there. My head steward trains there and I know he punished the guy he was fighting yesterday.
Also if you fancy BJJ I did a seminar with Marcos Nardini who is a BJJ blackbelt. Check him out
BJJ Scotland - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

thats brilliant mate thanks a lot, ill definately try and get to the Dumbarton BJJ classes.
Think it might end up the Griphouse if they'll have me, its actually probably further away than Stirling from me but in a weird way easier to get to because of the train 
thats **** hot info though mate thanks a million
