Also on the night Williams Stewart takes on his country-fellow Rhys Cowan. The 68 kg MMA contest is scheduled for three rounds with WKN Scottish title on the line.
The undercard features a series of bouts in kickboxing and MMA with local and international competitors representing Scotland, Ireland and England.
