Tickets now available for ex-UFC superstar Stevie Ray's latest MMA show in Kirkcaldy

Despite Stevie Ray’s next big Mixed Martial Arts event being over five weeks away, the ex-Ultimate Fighting Championship star and current gym boss has confirmed 16 fights for his Braveheart Promotions 3 show at Fife Ice Arena on Saturday, July 18.

Speaking to the Fife Free Press, Kirkcaldy-born Ray, 36, said that several of his Braveheart MMA proteges will compete on an evening on which the main event will be the King of the Kingdom battle between Higher Level MMA Bathgate’s Dean Housley and Zhiwar Nawroli of Manchester Top Team.

"All the fights are at amateur level,” Ray said. “Pretty much all the fighting weights will be covered, including featherweight and bantamweight, although I don’t think I’ve got any heavyweight fights this time.

"It’s three, three-minute rounds unless it’s a title fight.

“We are looking to eventually go into professional level as well.

"But we’re trying to just be the main kind of Scottish or UK group for up and coming amateur MMA fighters.

“We have one title fight just now and I think we’re maybe looking to do three in total at different weights, which will be five rounds of three minutes.

"Housley and Nawroli are two experienced amateurs.
