Extended Interview - SevereMMA.com's Seán Sheehan on UFC Glasgow
Joe Duffy makes people sit up and pay attention, if they weren't doing so already
The UFC went to Scotland for the first time, with three Irish fighters taking to the octagon.
"Irish" Joe Duffy continues to impress, and his first round win over Ivan Jorge by triangle was a thing of absolute beauty - anyone who's seen Duffy in Cage Warriors knows how good this guy is, and now the world is starting to take notice.
Elsewhere Paddy Holohan was impressive in a decision win over Vaughan Lee, while there was disappointment for Paul Redmond, as he was beaten by Rob Whiteford.
To discuss the event in detail, and the increased interest in MMA in Ireland, we spoke to SevereMMA.com's Sean Sheehan - click PLAY below.
And here's a video of the finish - slick.
