JAMIE
Jamie Richardson has been involved in martial arts since he started in 2012 at the age of 16 under the watchful eye of Darren Jones at FORCE MMA. He began competing at 17, only to lose his first ever fight, but then went unbeaten in his amateur career with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. He turned professional in 2014 and his current record is 6 wins with 3 losses, currently riding a 4 fight win streak with 3 of the wins all inside the 1st round and 1 in the 2nd round all which he aims to continue. His biggest achievement to date was being signed to a multi fight deal at the end of 2017 with the biggest MMA organisations in U.K. and Europe, Cage Warriors, so watch out for him.
