From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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?

What time is it?

Here comes Barker again though, trapping Markie and unleashing a barrage of shots...

Time for the second fight of the evening: Mike Fox vs Andrew Henderson.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:51

In the build-up to this fight, Mike Fox described himself as a "fat, shit Khabib Nurmagomedov".

Promises to be a classic!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:51

For those who don't know, Mike Fox is a YouTuber. I think. Andrew Henderson is a freestyle footballer world champion.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:54

Slight delay to this one starting as they can't get the door of the cage to shut.

Genuinely. 

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:55

It's shut! Here we go!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:55

Henderson darts in, unleashes a couple of shots, immediately takes down Fox and goes for the ground and pound! Wow!

This is brutal.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:56

Henderson in complete control, sat on top of Fox and raining down shots.

And it's all over!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 20:56

That ... was ... ridiculous.
