This Saturday marks a first for the UFC.
Fans may be forgiven for not realizing it at a glance, as UFC Fight Night 72 will be the fourth UFC show to air in a calendar week. But a first it is nonetheless, as this Saturday morning card marks the UFC’s first foray into the beautiful, rugged, fighting land of Scotland.
So get up early in the morn, and get your stereotypes ready. Get your haggis, which in reality is probably much less disgusting than your average hot dog. Get your whiskey, your bagpipes and your favorite Braveheart quote, and meet in front of the television to watch this historic card.
In the main event, you have British kickboxer Michael Bisping facing off against jiu-jitsu ace Thales Leites. Something, as they say, has to give.
But that’s just the top of a six-fight main card. Want more info? Riley “Kobra” Kontek, Craig “Cookie” Amos, Sean “The Salmon” Smith, myself (Scott Harris) and our very own resident Scotsman, who will be in attendance for this history, James “The Athlete” MacDonald will break it down for you. Let’s get it on.
