Black-tie MMA night from Ultra MMA at The Point, with eight weeks of free training at a local gym and a suggested £50 charity raise.
Ultra MMA brings a night of mixed martial arts to The Point on Friday 27 November, and it's not your usual cage fight. The whole thing is built around beginners taking up the sport: eight weeks of free training at a local gym, a suggested minimum of £50 raised for charity, and then a chance to step into the cage in front of friends and family. When they do, they wear MMA gloves, shin guards and a groin guard.
The night leans heavily on the dress code, which the organisers describe as very strict. For men, that's a shirt, tie, trousers and shoes; for women, evening dresses or smart trousers and a blouse. Jeans, trainers, chinos, leggings and checked shirts are expressly forbidden. It's a black-tie evening, so you'll be watching the fights in a tuxedo or a gown rather than a tracksuit.
