The hugely talented Morefire Icon Jiu Jitsu fighter from Luton is looking to get another win on his BAMMA record, after his BAMMA Matchmaker Award winning "fight of the year" at BAMMA 15 against Jack Grant.

Rick Selvarajah will be making his BAMMA debut at BAMMA 20. The Premier MMA fighter has also signed a multi fight deal with the promotion. The fighter based in Harrow, Middlesex trains under Chris Foran and brings a very exciting and explosive fan pleasing style. Currently his pro record stands at 6-0 with the majority of those wins coming via way of submission. He was undefeated as an amateur with a 7-0 record and he also holds a 4-1 record in Kickboxing/Muay Thai as well. Selvarajah is excited to be making his BAMMA debut against the equally talented George.

 

Nathius Frederick Vs. Anthony Holmes (Middleweight)

Nathius Frederick fights out of the UTC gym in Birmingham and is making his pro debut at BAMMA 20. 2-1 as an Amateur with both of his wins coming via way of TKO, he will be looking to making an impressive debut in front of his home crowd in Birmingham.

Anthony Holmes was originally set for his pro debut at BAMMA 18 in Wolverhampton until the bout was cancelled after several opponent pull outs. The Ludus Magnus fighter from Doncaster went 3-0 as a amateur and is also looking to to put on a show for the Birmingham crowd on April 25th.

 

Harry Marple vs Chris Astley (Welterweight Bout)

Highly touted "Dirty" Harry Marple is making his BAMMA debut in April after his first pro victory in October of last year. Going 8-0 as an amateur the Team Kaobon fighter from Cannock has won the majority of his bout via submission. 

Chris Astley is the latest Trojan Free Fighter to make his way into the BAMMA arena. Coached by Paul Sutherland, Matt Ewin and Marc Allen to name just a few.
