UFC lightweight Chris Duncan has called out the organization's president, Dana White, to bring the popular mixed martial arts event back to Scotland. Duncan took to Twitter to express his desire to see a fight event in the European nation.

Scotland has not hosted an event in quite some time, prompting Duncan to take action. In his tweet, the lightweight fighter wrote,

"Yo @danawhite It’s been a while since we had a @ufc event in Scotland. What we saying!"

Check out Chris Duncan's tweet below:

The last event in Scotland was UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Ponzinibbio. It was held on July 16, 2017, at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow. This event marked the second time that the promotion had hosted an event in Glasgow, following UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Leites back in July 2015.

Scottish fans of the sport are hopeful that Duncan's call-out will be taken seriously, and that the promotion will return to the country soon. The event could draw a large audience, given the popularity of MMA in Scotland.

The promotion is known for hosting events in countries all over the world, and previously expressed an interest in returning to Scotland. With Duncan's public appeal, Scottish fans of the sport are hoping that the officals will heed the call and schedule another event in the country soon.

Speaking to Fanatics View, Mitchell claimed that the fight had been "rigged" and implied that the judges had been paid off.

"That fight was rigged as f**k... But he [Islam Makhachev] brings in all that money from the Middle East. When you're bringing in that kind of oil money... I guess they just f***king paid the judges to... I don’t know. I know Alexander Volkanovski won a decision."
