Geordie Shore star Scotty T was of course supposed to top the card this evening with a fight against reality TV regular Stephan Bear.

 

However, just five days ago the Geordie lad withdrew from the contest for an unspecified reason, ruining the main event at short notice.

 

In a statement Fame MMA said: "We regret to inform that due unforeseen circumstances Scotty T has had to pull out of the fight with Stevie Bear. Due to the nature of MMA and combat sport there is always potential for fighters to forfeit for reasons outside of our and their control. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment caused.

 

"It is important to us to keep fans satisfied but the fighters' health and wellbeing must come first in any instance. The event is still going ahead and there will be plenty of MMA full-contact combat action.”

 

Scotty T has yet to reveal the reason for his no show, but Bear has pulled no punches, accusing his rival of "bottling it".

The sole women's fight on this evening's card sees Love Island and TOWIE star Georgia Harrison take on self-proclaimed 'Essex Conor McGregor', Ashley Marie - a professional videogamer and YouTuber. 

 

Harrison is best friends with Sam Gowland, who fights Marty McKenna in the main event.

FAME MMA UK shot into the public eye when Gowland and McKenna almost came to blows at the organisation's first press conference.

 

The rivals, who are both ex-boyfriends of Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry, engaged in some trash talk before tensions boiled over, with McKenna hurling bottles of water and a chair at his opponent.

 

And afterwards Gowland promised to knock his rival out this evening.

 

On Instagram, he said: "Just to reiterate what I was saying...the fat c*** is going to get knocked out in the first round...100% first round, acting like a f****** idiot yesterday; throwing chairs, throwing paper cups of water.

 

"First round knock out 110%...it will be the last time you see him on TV."

Marty McKenna has endured a difficult 2019 and has credited the fledgling FAME MMA promotion with helping him to deal with the grief of losing two of his family members.

 

Speaking during the face-to-face program prior to the fight, he said: "I lost me mam and my brother to drink and drugs.

"My older brother died of drugs at a session; my mam died through drinking all the time because of me brother and then me two sisters couldn't handle it so they ended up killing themselves."

He added: "When I'm going to the gym and training it does release endorphins and it makes me feel happy so I'm not sitting dwelling on s***."

The broadcast has started and it begins with ... an interview with reality TV star and Bellator fighter Aaron Chalmers.

 

"When I first started out it was a situation and like this and I only wanted to have one fight," he said. 

 

Will any of the celebrities involved tonight go on to enjoy similar MMA careers?

The Newcastle Arena does not look particularly full, it has to be said.

 

The entire top-tier appears to be roped off while there are a lot of empty seats lower down.

 

But, in fairness, it is still early into the night...

The MC is inside the cage and big lad Charlie Sloth is currently doing his thing on the decks.

 

I don't think we're too far away from some action!

The full roster of fighters are currently up on stage being introduced by Mr Sloth.

 

He's shouting. Lots.

A Polish presenter is currently in the cage with Charlie Sloth, bantering about being a "fat bro".

 

This is all very bizarre. It's like a low-rent fighting Eurovision. But it's time for the first fight!
