Paul 'Metabolic' McVeigh
Paul McVeigh is an exciting and dynamic Bantamweight who was originally known for his background in BJJ and submission wrestling. But he has also added Muay Thai to his repertoire and is now skilled both standing and on the floor. McVeigh is currently on a four bout win streak and is undefeated in Bantamweight division having defeated Chin Weakasingh in 2004 to win the CWFC Bantamweight Title. He has since successfully defended his Title against Phil Harris (in 2005) and last time out defeated the BJJ Black Belt Anderson Pereira by submission last October. Paul is the reigning Cage Warriors CWFC World Bantamweight Champion. Paul has been involved in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts since its arrival in the UK. Over the years he has amassed an impressive competition record culminating in winning the Cage Warriors Bantamweight World Title outright and competing in the Cage Force event in Japan.
As well as being an elite level competitor Paul is also one of the most respected coaches in the UK. Operating out of the Griphouse Gym in Glasgow, he has helped to produce numerous title holders in Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, MMA and Submission Grappling.
Paul's academic background reflects his interest in Mixed Martial Arts training and performance enhancement. After obtaining a BSci (Hons) in Sports Science, Physiology and Nutrition at the University of Glasgow, Paul went on to further enhance his knowledge by completing the Premier Personal Training and Sport Therapy Diploma. As of this time Paul hopes to begin his MSci in Strength and Conditioning at the University of Edinburgh in 2009.
