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?

They're back up. Gola valiantly throws some kick but JDM rocks him with a huge right hook and then drops him with another kick.

JMX is all over him. He jumps on the Pole and begins unloading shots ... and the fight is stopped!

JMX defeats Gola by TKO (punches) in the second round.

JMX: "I feel amazing. Respect to my opponent. Barely anybody would get in this cage. Massive respect to him. Thanks to my team. 

"I will fight again, whoever wants to take it. I want to make it 4-0."

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 23:08

Gola: "JMX was a tough opponent. He is a big guy. Respect to him. It will be hard to find a good opponent for him because he is so tough. I want to thank my sponsors ... oh. Actually I don't have sponsors for this fight.

"I would like to challenge a guy from the UK to fight. I want to fight Gib."

Okay, finally time for the final fight of the evening.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 23:26

Sam Gowland is first out. He comes out to Sweet Caroline. Tune!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 23:29

And here comes his opponent, one Marty McKenna.

His announcement is very amusing. "A true superstar and UK funny man." 

Right okay then.
