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?

The event will get underway at 8pm. Expect the main event to take place around 10.30-11pm.

Henderson really focusing on the leg kicks. And he then lands a takedown and looks to sink the guillotine!

Can Law get out of this...?

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:25

Law is desperately fighting this and lands some punches, and then he manages to recover and get to his feet! Superb takedown defence. And Henderson is going to be feeling that in his arm now.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:26

Drama! The referee steps in just before the end of the round, I think because Law kneed him in the lower body. 

The round then ends, but the pair collide after the bell and go at it! They're quickly separated and pushed to their respective corners. 

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:27

That was better!

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:28

Here we go, seconds out, round two.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:28

A crazy start to the second round with both men standing in the pocket and trading!

There's then a scramble and Law surrenders his back, giving Henderson a chance to submit him with the rear naked choke...

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:30

Henderson postures up. But Law gets his legs up and defends well. One minute left...

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:31

They scramble. Law lands some big shots and Henderson is, perhaps, starting to look a little tired.

Law lands some relatively dirty looking elbows and, I think, perhaps nicked that round.

I reckon it's 1-1 heading into the decisive third.

Vithushan Ehantharajah14 December 2019 21:32

Round three. Here we go.
