Despite seven of his wins coming by submission, his striking and stand-up game are equally deadly.
Fletcher's background is boxing - he didn't come to MMA until the age of 24. But he cut his teeth fighting for money in a Sunderland gang.
“I kind of started boxing when I was 13 until I was 16," he said. "I was boxing for quite a while.
"When I was 16 I tailed off into being a bit of an idiot, which I’m not proud of, and I had a few years where I was not a nice person and I was fighting people for money round the streets.”
But Fletcher left his street fighting days behind him and now earns a respectable living inside the cage.
At 32 he's married and settled with a family. He is coming into the Winner fight off the back of two wins against Tony Hervey and Michael Brightmon.
Fletcher is looking for his third straight win in the BAMMA series.

He is training harder than ever in order to defeat Winner again after scoring a unanimous decision against the 33-year-old in a K1 match up last year.
“I’m expecting him to be gunning for revenge," Fletcher said.
"I’m giving him a lot more respect for this one, I’m thinking he’s taken a loss from me, so he’s gonna be after revenge, to be honest that’s inspiring me to train that little bit harder.”
Fletcher expects a tough fight, but is ready to finish Winner if he puts a foot wrong.
BAMMA 20 is at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham this Saturday.
