The Scottish showed up to UFC London with an agenda.
First, Paul Craig who was a +550 underdog steals a victory at the literal last second of the his fight. Throwing up a desperation triangle as the clappers indicated ten seconds left, he trapped Russian uber prospect Magomed Ankalaev. The Russian Master of MMA tapped when he was just one second away from a very probable unanimous decision victory.
This is the kind of shit that makes MMA that most unpredictable and fascinating combat sport in existence.
OH MY!!!!
@PCraigMMA pulls off the MIRACLE upset in the final 5 seconds and gets the submission victory!! WOW!!! #UFCLondon pic.twitter.com/iQ6en9TokC

Fellow Scotsman Danny Henry (himself a +240 dog) decided to ride that Northern momentum to his own victory. He cracked Canadian uber prospect Hakeem Dawodu with the heavy heat, and then grabbed a hold of Dawodu’s neck and refused to let go until he choked the life out of him.
It all happened in about 40 seconds.
HOW DO WE FOLLOW IT UP???? WITH THIS!!!
Unreal performance from @DannyHenryMMA!! #UFCLondon pic.twitter.com/QQg4DnkKQ5

If Stevie Ray hadn’t been robbed against Kajan Johnson, Scotland would have had an undefeated night.
