Steven Ray and Paul Craig’s online war of words made the promotional obligations for UFC Glasgow slightly awkward last week, but there are a lot more pressing issues for Ray as he closes in on his seventh outing under the Ultimate Fighting Championship banner.
The former Cage Warriors Fighting Championship ace’s situation is a curious one.
Despite claiming the biggest wins of his career in his last two outings over bona fide veterans Ross Pearson and Joe Lauzon, Ray’s stock seemed to be higher after his first two UFC fights against Marcin Bandel and Leonardo Marfa, whom he stopped inside the distance.
