DAZN has announced a partnership with FightStar Championship (FSC), further expanding its global combat sports offering with one of the UK’s top mixed martial arts promotions. Under the agreement, FSC events will be available free to view worldwide on the DAZN streaming service.

The partnership begins with FSC 37 at Indigo at The O2 in London on August 23rd. The event will be streamed live and free to view on DAZN from 7pm. The card features three title fights and the semi-finals of the promotion’s £25,000 featherweight tournament.

The main event is a welterweight championship bout between Nathan ‘Mr. Bag & Tag’ Jones (17-12) and Tom Mullen (11-2). In the co-main event, former UFC light heavyweight Ihor ‘The Duelist’ Potieria (20-8) faces Cally Gibrainn de Oliveira ‘Juggernaut’ (6-2) for the light heavyweight title.  The third championship bout sees the UK’s top-ranked flyweight, Muhidin ‘The Captain’ Abubakar (12-1), face Brazil’s Ronaldo ‘Carrasco’ Oliveira (11-5-1).

The semi-finals of the promotion’s featherweight tournament features four elite athletes competing for a place in the final and the chance to claim the £25,000 prize.

Coverage will be hosted by mixed martial arts legend Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley alongside presenter Snoochie Shy.
