Stevie Ray on grisly motorcycle accident before UFC Scotland: 'I thought I was going to die'

Stevie Ray couldn't have scripted a better homecoming. Ray was one of three Scottish fighters to pick up victories at UFC Fight Night 72, sandwiching a beatdown of Leonardo Mafra between Robert Whiteford's fevered party starter and Joanne Calderwood's electric comeback. Each hometown win whipped the Scottish crowd even further into a frenzy, and days later, Ray was still speechless when asked to describe the first UFC event ever held in his native country.

"It still feels surreal. I don't even think it's properly sunk in yet. It's just crazy," Ray said Monday on The MMA Hour.
