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.

Some more decent leg kicks from Law. Henderson is trying to land the counter but has a couple big swings and misses. It's a tentative start, well until Law attempts a swinging backfist. He misses.
Henderson rocks Law backwards with a decent right hand down the pipe. Law is still padding forward but Henderson seems happier potshotting. And Henderson then lands a big right hand which again rocks Law!
Law rocks Henderson but then appears to slip, and Henderson is all over him! He is in a dominant position and has Law squashed against the cage, raining down some big shots. Law sees out the round - and the fight - but Henderson has surely done enough to win this one.
Henderson was genuinely impressive considering he took this fight on one weeks notice.
Henderson: "I'm gassed. He put me through it and this was a test. But I came through it."
