Blackdog Mixed Martial Arts fighter Jon Ferguson is in action tonight, Saturday, in the Full Contact Contender event at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton.
The 29-year-old former St Ninian’s High School student became the first Manx-born professional Mma fighter to compete, win and claim a title when he defeated Steve Evans to the light heavyweight honours at Merthyr Mayhem in Wales last year.
Following on from that, his first professional bout, Ferguson - weighing in at 205lbs - will go head-to-head with Scottish fighter Paul Craig in the third bout from the main event.
Full Contact Contender is the UK’s biggest amateur mixed martial arts show aimed at developing the next generation of amateur MMA talent.
