"As always, we've got fantastic matchups on this card from top to bottom, and we'll see some of the absolute best prospects in the sport compete in our cage," Tuff-N-Uff exec and co-founder Jeff Meyer said. "But I'm really looking forward to this main event. There's something special about two massive opponents squaring off that gets you excited, and both of these super heavyweights are capable of ending the bout with just one punch. For fight fans at home, they can watch this heavyweight and superheavyweight showdown live on TuffNuff.com starting with our first bout at 7:00 p.m. PT.”
Located on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Cox Pavilion is perhaps best known to MMA fans as the home of the live finale of the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter," where future UFC Hall of Famers Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar helped launch the sport into mainstream consciousness.
The first Tuff-N-Uff fight is at 7 p.m., and doors to the venue open at 6:00 p.m. PT.
