Three more huges names have been confirmed for The MMA Show Live on May 12th and 13th, with Dan Henderson, Thiago Silva and Chandella Powell all heading to The NEC in Birmingham.

Last week it was the names of Michael Bisping and Sean Sherk added to the star-studded two-day event, and now one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time - Dan Henderson - has bolstered the list.

A host of UFC fighters will be coming to the UK in May for an event that will allow fans to interact with some of the best mixed martial artists on the planet.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans was recently confirmed for the event that occurs a couple of weeks after his title fight with Jon Jones. Other fighters attending include perennial UFC title contender Kenny Florian and British fighters Brad Pickett, Ross Pearson and Che Mills.

Nowhere else can MMA fans get the chance to meet so many fighters, train with them, get autographs from them, take photographs of them, ask them questions and buy tonnes of great merchandise from some of the biggest brands in MMA, all for the price of a ticket with no hidden charges. This is an unmissable event for any MMA fan!"
