MMA in Scotland

Mark Dorsey of MMA Convert has a fascinating profile on the state of mixed martial arts in Scotland,

There are only a few mixed martial arts gyms in Scotland and though the sport is relatively unknown among the general populace, it is burgeoning. There are two MMA gyms in Edinburgh and one in Aberdeen. Based out of Glasgow is Scotland's most renowned MMA club, the Dinky Ninja's. Paul McVeigh, who is also well known in Scotland as a top fighter, heads the Dinky Ninja's. These days, Watson is seeing more and more students come into his gym that want to become professional MMA fighters. One of the best is a student named Ryan Quinn. Quinn, who's thinking about giving up work to train full-time, is built like a gorilla and once beat the entire Scottish rugby team in arm wrestling, one after the other.    

I won't take away from a great piece with any poor attempts at a Highlander or Braveheart joke.
