    Its pretty apparent he likes to train MMA , he just doesnt like to watch or have time to watch.

    Read somewhere that gym likes to pad their guys records, no idea if thats true or not.

    There have been some really bad fighters in the UFC people like Charlie Ward who is far worse than Craig. Bear Jew comes across as good bloke helps young people in his spare time and seems down to earth.Craig has fought two dangerous fighters in Pedro Tyson and Rountree and got KOed bad but so would quite a few fighters. He needs to work on his striking defense and his boxing but after two bad KO's I doubt he can recover he on the same level as someone like Josh Stansbury who he would probably beat.

    Was Paul Craig no making fun of Stevie Ray because he couldn't afford a training camp because he just had a baby?

    Sounds like banter between two Scottish fighters.

    Sounded quite serious at the time.

    Anything I've read about Craig is that everycunt seems to hate him.

    It sounds like they just don't like each other going back years, they had an interview together not that long ago and it was clear Craig doesn't like Ray and Ray was off with Craig and didn't want to be there, they both made snidey comments.

    It was deadly serious. They don't like each other. Craig was having a go at him because he was trying to crowd fund for his fights.

    Stevie Ray certainly did not take it as ‘banter’.

    He comes across pretty well in interviews but his comments to Stevie Ray were out of order imo.

    The money stuff is bizarre. Neither guy is exactly gonna be rolling in it, both chasing the same dream etc, getting by however they can basically. No idea why that * gets pass marks as far as smack talk goes, particularly when nobody would consider either guy rich.

    Watch him train and say that. He takes it deadly seriously mate, as all these guys do. if you don't you run the risk of getting badly hurt.

    Just because he doesn't watch other people fighting doesn't mean he's not taking it seriously.

    He does seem to train hard but listening to him on the MMA hour I understand why something thinks he's not taking it seriously. Seems to not give a * about it sometimes but a lot of fighters don't watch the other fights.

    He’s just not very good. Isn’t physically or mentally prepared to be a UFC fighter and Glasgow proved that.

    Should've been sacked on the spot after that.

    Was * embarrassing watching him.
