UCMMA champion wins WEC debut.

The current UCMMA Featherweight champion, Brad Pickett won his debut WEC fight against Kyle Dietz with an unorthodox Peruvian necktie submission. Dietz who had gone into the fight claiming to knock out Pickett, even though he has no KO or TKO’s to his name, tapped almost immediately. Pickett , who has fought on the international stage previously, gave an accomplished performance and is sure to have caught the attention across the pond with this highly credible win. The event was held in Las Vegas and Pickett certainly gave them the entertainment this city craves and proved that he has what it takes to fly the flag of UK MMA in this weight division. Congratulations to Brad and all his team from all at UCMMA.

Tam Khan V Jack Mason - December 5th - Fighting for Heroes

The match for the Grand Prix Middleweight Title will pit 2 of the most powerful middleweights in the UK against each other. Both Khan and Mason have an incredible ground game with both fighters preferring to take the fight on to the canvas. Khan comes of the back of a convincing win against Ben Craggy with a text book guillotine, while Mason defeated the game Shah Hussain. This will be an explosive and bruising encounter and should prove to be an evenly balanced fight.
