Hi this is John O`Brien I`ve hijacked gary Douglas`s I.D so as I can thank you all for your help in putting together this show. Firstly,to Gary O`Brien for working round the clock day after day to ensure that we attracted a first class line up and that they all made it to Braehead on time and that they had opponents to fight on the day. Gary climed a virtual mountain of details and logistics to get this one together.

Also thanks to the ever dependables,Yoda, Guy, Stevie Nisbett and Bobby Quinn and their fighters and coaches for rallying round and doing everything possible to ensure the show was a success.

A big cheers to John Nicholson and all the MMA fighters, you are all as mad as a bucket of frogs, but moan about absolutely nothing and have truly been great to work with. Many thanks also to coaches and fighters from England and Europe whose attendance added stature to the show ( Paul Hamilton) I don`t know very well but you did a shit load to help us and i truly appreciat everything.

Maximum respect to Craig Jose on his stunning 8-1 tournament win, a deserved winner and a genuinely likeable guy. Newcastle is practically Scottish so a technical victory for us Jocks(ahem).

Lastly RUNG thank you for agreeing to wear the kilt an entering to the Proclaimers, your entrance nearly brought the house down, your a small man with a big heart CHEERS. I`ll phone anybody I`ve missed and thank you in person.

I am now away to sleep for 4months!!!
