The search is on to find Northern Ireland's next Mixed Martial Arts star.
Complete novices are being invited to enter the Find A Star competition which is open to men and women aged 18 and over who have never stepped into the cage before.
Undefeated UAE Warriors Heavyweight Champion Chi Lewis-Parry is leading the search, where up to 20 contenders will be selected to undergo a medical, work with a sports scientist and complete a set training programme before special Bootcamps early next year.
After that the Find A Star champions will be crowned.
The winners of the competition will receive a lucrative multi-fight contract with promoters Prim3, star in a Prime3 fly-on-the-wall documentary series building up to their bouts, a long-term contract with Mogul Management, and a one year sponsorship deal with RDX Sports.
The competition is being supported by the A Star Foundation, which helps young people to find positive pathways by taking part in activities such as sport.
“Mixed Martial Arts is really on the map now so we’re launching Find A Star to enable someone new to break onto the fight scene and follow in my footsteps to the top," said Britain’s UAE Warriors Heavyweight Champion Chi Lewis-Parry.
"You don’t have to have any experience but you will definitely need an appetite to be the best.
"I’ll soon be fighting the greatest ever UFC fighter, Jon Jones, on the same fight card as superstar Conor McGregor, and I want the Find A Star winners to live the dream too.”
Find A Star applicants will be asked to send a video explaining why they should be chosen as one of the 20 contenders, as well as contact details and an image.
More details about how to enter can be found at www.mmatv.com and the closing date for entries is 11th December.
