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.

A cagey start. And Harvey attempts a guillotine choke! He looks to have got it but, to be fair, Dapper defends it well. They scramble.
But then Harvey tries it again! And this time he looks to have got it...
Dapper defends. But Harvey move to full mount and begins landing some punches. Dapper needs to move...
He attempts to kick off the cage, but Dapper is done!
Harvey beats Dapper Laughs via TKO (punches) in the first round.
Dapper: "I was thinking about how I could get out. I was taken the punches. I didn't want it to stop. But he's fucking strong. Do you know what? I had to overcome my fears to get in here and do this. And believe me I wanted to win."
Harvey: "I feel amazing. Congrats to Dapper because he surprised me. He hit me with a good shot and I had to dig deep. And that was for my step-father, Ray, who has just passed away."
Harvey: "I want to go to Poland. And I want to fight the Polish. Let's have it."
Both of these lads are professional YouTubers. Just in case you didn't know.
