UK MMA fighters are no longer a rare breed. In the early days, it was rare to see fighters from the UK featuring on MMA cards, let alone UFC cards, the creme de la creme of of all of MMA.
It wasn’t until Ian Freeman knocked down the door and made his debut at UFC 24 that someone from the UK fought in the UFC. It took even longer for anyone from the UK to become a UFC champion and Michael Bisping is that man at UFC 199 in 2016.
