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.

Better from Malczynski who lands some very clean shots. He's beginning to make his height and reach advantage count now.
Christ, I thought these guys were supposed to be decent. The rest of the round passes in a blur of missed punches and wild kicks. I think Malczynski took it.
Ooooooooooooooo. Polak has just booted - and I mean BOOTED - Malczynski in the balls.
Polak's reaction was hilarious there. He immediately dropped to his knees in apology before rushing over to Malczynski to cradle him, as he had a good rummage round.
Malczynski has five minutes to recover.
They resume. Polak lands a couple of nice right hands. Malczynski is breathing very heavily and goes for the takedown, but Polak defends well. He has a couple of big swings and Malczynski again tries to take the fight to the ground, giving Polak the opportunity to go for the guillotine.
Good defence from Malczynski, though. And that's it!
I reckon Polak nicks that one.
