Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

FAME MMA hold their first card in the United Kingdom tonight, with a host of familiar faces involved in the action.

The UFC is far from the only organisation involved in the sport of mixed martial arts. In recent years a number of competitors have started putting on shows, with FAME MMA holding their first event in Poland last year.

Since then they have grown in size and their first UK card is headlined by a grudge match between Geordie Shore stars Sam Gowland and Marty McKenna.

The show was originally supposed to be headlined by a fight between reality stars Scotty T and Stevie Bear, only for the former to pull out just five days before the fight.

But don’t worry – Dapper Laughs is still involved. Here’s everything you need to know.

When is FAME MMA UK?

The card takes place today: Saturday 14 December.

What time is it?

Harrison finishes the fight with an armbar attempt and lands a couple more big shots as the pair scramble, before the klaxon goes. 

A great round! And a clear win for Harrison.

Round two is underway.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:11

A bright start from Harrison who lands yet more leg kicks. And they have really started to slow Marie down. She then tries another spinning backfist - her third of the fight - which glances off her opponent's chin.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:12

Harrison has a point deducted for striking the back of Marie's head.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:14

End of the round. With the point deduction factored in, you would have to score that level.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:15

Round three is underway.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:16

Both women appear to have tired but Harrison is the lighter on her feet and lands a couple of nice right hands. Marie isn't moving though...

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:17

Marie's leg is going to be very, very sore in the morning. Harrison has been landing unchecked leg kicks all evening. She lands a nice right hand that rocks Marie back and is in control of this final round.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:18

A rather bizarre end to the fight as Marie turns her back on Harrison, inviting one final barrage of punches. The klaxon then goes and that's it!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 22:19

Harrison defeats Marie by majority decision.
