Tuff-N-Uff LOOKS TO “PACK THE MACK” 

Offering FREE admission for 20th anniversary spectacular!

 
The nation's premier amateur mixed martial arts organization is ready to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and what better way to mark the occasion than to put on an incredible fight card?

How about giving away tickets for free?

"Tuff-N-Uff: The Future Stars of Mixed Martial Arts" returns to Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday, June 7, for a special event that will celebrate the company's 20-year history of promoting martial arts events. And the best part? Admission is free, with the promotion simply asking for fans to donate canned goods at the door in lieu of a paid ticket.

"It seems like just yesterday my brother and I decided to follow our passion in martial arts and look to put on the best events in the business," Tuff-N-Uff co-founder Jeff Meyer said. "Now I look up, and it's 20 years later. I'm proud of what we've accomplished in that time, and I look forward to the next 20 years. I know we'll continue to make my brother proud.

"To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're opening the doors to Las Vegas' biggest arena, and we're hoping to 'pack the Mack.'"

Tuff-N-Uff is partnering with Las Vegas' Three Square Food Bank for the ambitious event, which sees one of the community's most respected charitable organizations partner with one of the nation's top MMA organizations, all in the name of a good cause. Donations will be accepted at the door on fight night.

Meyer said the soon-to-be-announced fight card will feature six championship contests, as well as the finals of Tuff-N-Uff's women's strawweight tournament, which sees the winner earn a professional contract with the all-female Invicta FC.

"Anyone that's ever been to a Tuff-N-Uff event knows what a fantastic show we put on, both with exciting fights and an incredible atmosphere," Meyer said. "This show will be no exception. We put our full effort into putting on a great event each and every time out, but we're going to take it to a different level for out 20-year anniversary, and it's all for an amazing cause."

Come see the future stars of mixed martial arts, and do it for a good cause.

Viewers worldwide may also watch the free bouts, featuringSarah D' Alelio (7-4) vs. Tonya Evinger (11-6) at bantamweight and Munah Holland (5-2) vs. Nina Arsanoff (5-4) at flyweight, via www.invictafc.com and Invicta Fighting Championship's Facebook page.

Murphy has been perfect in the Invicta FC cage, earning back-to-back unanimous decision victories over Kaitlin Young and D'Alelio on April 5 and July 13, respectively.  Prior to her Invicta FC debut, the 30-year-old had scored TKO finishes in all five of her fights.

"I think this will be a bad ass fight," said Murphy, who lives in Anchorage, Alaska. "We are two of the best female 135-pounders in the world.  She's tough, I'm tough, and we're both ready to beat the crap out of each other.  It's going to be a great fight! I'm hoping for a down-and-dirty war.  Those are the fights I love the most.

"Being a pay-per-view event really speaks to the caliber of fighters Invicta has.  If Invicta is willing to broadcast its fights for the world to see, then Invicta is obviously confident that it has the best fighters in the world.  Fighters are worked even harder in training camp so they can put on the very best show they can, knowing it is going to be visible to everyone.  Better camps mean better fighters, better fighters mean better fights.  It makes a big difference in sponsorships, too.  More fighters get better sponsors because the sponsors' names are going to be out there for the world to see."

Veteran Muay Thai champion Nakamoto, fighting out of Dublin, California, extended her perfect record at Invicta FC 6, scoring a first round (2:08) TKO on Duda Yankovich off a knee strike and series of punches, earning her "KO of the Night" honors.  
"She's (Nakamoto) undefeated and, since she is an eight-time Muay Thai world champion, she obviously has strong stand-up skills," Murphy continued."As far as her ground game, I suppose, that remains to be seen. We're all going to find out what type of fighter she is on December 7th.

"I predict this will be the Fight of the Night, one that people are going to be talking about for a long time.  I think fans and spectators without a doubt are going to be the real winners.  At the end of the fight, I hope to have that belt around my waist, while my hand is raised.  I've worked hard and made improvements where I needed to.  I believe in me, my coaches believe in me, and I am going to get in there and fight my heart out.  I love to fight and I am excited to get in there and put on a great show for the fans."

Fighting on the PPV undercard is Felice "Lil' Bulldog" Herrig (9-4) in her highly-anticipated Invicta FC debut versus against strawweight Tecia "The Tiny Tornado" Torres
(3-0), Scotland's Joanne Calderwood (7-0) and Finland's Katja "Killer Bunny" Kankaanpaa (8-0-1) meet in a battle of unbeaten strawweights, and Canadian featherweights (145 lbs.) Julia "The Jewel" Budd (5-2) and Charmaine "Not So Sweet" Tweet (4-3) square-off.

All fights and fighters are subject to change.
