About Combat Sports UK

Combat Sports UK covers combat sports for a British and Irish audience: boxing, MMA and bare knuckle, kickboxing and Muay Thai, and grappling - the news, the schedule in UK time, results, rankings and the fighters from these islands.

Who we are

Combat Sports UK is published by Rise Media, an independent sports media company based in Ireland, and is funded by Rise Media. It grew out of the Combat Sports UK page on Facebook, which reaches more than 88,000 followers, and this site is its home for longer-form coverage.

Darren Murray is the editor and holds editorial responsibility for everything published here. Every article carries the name of the person responsible for it.

What we cover

Boxing, MMA and bare knuckle, plus kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, judo and wrestling, with a bias towards what matters to a UK reader: British and Irish fighters wherever they compete, the world-level fights everyone is talking about, and the cards you can watch from home. Every time on the site is UK local.

Alongside the news we keep a live schedule, results and rankings, built from the promotions’ and broadcasters’ own published cards, times and records.

How we work

We use AI to help research and draft our journalism, and we say so on every article. Our full editorial policy, including how stories are sourced, what we will not assert and how corrections are handled, is on the How we work page.
