Or if you prefer, buy your own pair from us. Here is more information on kit that is available to buy.
What are the age limits?
To take part in White Collar Fighter you need to be aged between 18 and 55 years old.
Do I need any previous experience?
You don’t need any previous MMA experience. We match you with your opponent based on size, attitude and ability. This means that you’ll be matched with someone that is very similar to yourself.
What will the training and preparations be like?
Training will be very demanding. You will be put through your paces physically and mentally. In return for your hard training you will get fitter, stronger, and the experience will be one of the most rewarding things you have ever done.
Who will I fight?
At White Collar Fighter we match you after one month’s training. The reason we do this is so that we can get to know the abilities of the group first. We will pair you with an equally matched opponent at this point.
What will Fight Night be like?
Fight Night will be professionally run and managed. Throughout your experience professionalism is our priority and Fight Night is no different.
The Fight Night is a night that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Where do my friends buy tickets from?

Is there anyone I can speak to if I have more questions?
Our experts are always available to answer any questions. Here are our contact details.
Do you offer any additional training?
We will hold an additional training session once a week that will cost £5 per session to take part in. This is not compulsory and you can decide on whether to do this nearer the time.
What if I decide I don’t want to fight, can I just do the training?
It is natural to get pre-fight nerves, even the professionals do. Our experienced staff will be there throughout your journey to advise and guide you. During the training we will give you coaching on how to channel the adrenaline and deal with nerves.
During your fight your coach will be there in your corner to guide you. White Collar Fighter – The Ultimate MMA Experience is all about making you mentally, as well as physically, a stronger person.
Is the experience safe?
Extremely. Your safety is our priority.
WCF uses amateur rules. There are no elbows, no knees and no kicks to the head – the rules are designed for your safety but still giving you the experience of stepping into a cage for a night you will never forget.
All Contenders must wear gum shields, groin guards, shin pads, especially designed head guards and 7oz MMA gloves (bigger than normal gloves for your protection).
You will be matched with an equally matched opponent and you will be fully trained mentally and physically to prepare you for Fight Night.
On Fight Night, you will have a medical before and after your fight. We have professional medics and an ambulance at every Fight Night.
How do I go about raising money for a charity and can I raise Money for any charity?
You can raise money for any charity. Our partner charity is Key 103’s Cash For Kids but you do not have to raise for them… you can raise for any charity.
We will run through how you raise money for your chosen charity in your first week of training.
I have a friend who wants to join the programme. Can they join?
