May 23, 2013 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas fight fans know that Memorial Day
weekend in Sin City means it's time for spectacular mixed martial
arts action, and this year is no exception. Tuff-N-Uff is going to
extend your weekend entertainment with a special Sunday card
"Tuff-N-Uff: The Future Stars of MMA" returns to Las Vegas' South
Point Arena on Sunday, May 26, for the latest installment of its
now-legendary nights of entertainment filled with high-paced MMA
action, live music, free beer sampling and some of Las Vegas'
finest BBQ for the promotion's one-of-a-kind "Festibrawl."
"Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas has long been a special holiday for MMA fans, and we're happy to once again be a part of the festivities by continuing our partnership with South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa to present the brightest prospects in MMA today," Tuff-N-Uff president Barry Meyer said. "This Memorial Day weekend we'll have three championship fights, the return of Montel Williams Jr., free beer samplings, great BBQ and a DJ spinning throughout the night. It's going to be another incredible night of entertainment."
The "Festibrawl" pre-party, which includes food, drinks and live
music, starts at 5:30 p.m. The night's first fight is at 7 p.m. The
"Tuff-N-Uff: Festibrawl" main event sees undefeated Tuff-N-Uff
middleweight champion Dylan
Jahrling (5-0) seek the first defense of his belt against
former Tuff-N-Uff light heavyweight titleholder Khalil
Rountree (3-1).
Wand Fight Team product Rountree recently relinquished his 205-pound title and elected to drop down a division in hopes of adding another belt to his trophy case. He now meets House of Ryu's Jahrling in a fight that will determine one of Las Vegas' brightest future stars and give the winner bragging rights over his cross-town rival.
Winter, who represents Utah's Hidden Valley Mixed Martial Arts, makes her Tuff-N-Uff debut as the reigning SteelFist Fight Night champion. She'll look to add the Tuff-N-Uff belt by downing Kings MMA product Martinez, who returns to the promotion for the first time since 2010.
And in the card's third championship bout, nine-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran Shane "Biggs" Johnson (6-2-1) puts his six-fight unbeaten streak on the line in a 165-pound title defense against undefeated prospect A.J. Williams (2-0), a Syndicate MMA product who recently delivered a "Knockout of the Year" candidate with a high-kick stoppage of Sam Edwards.
In a special welterweight attraction, two-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran and Xtreme Couture fighter Montel Williams Jr. (1-1), the son of legendary talk-show host Montel Williams, meets debuting TapouT fighter Jason Weyrich (0-0).
In addition to the night's headlining contests, a full lineup of aspiring amateur fighters from some of the world's top academies -- including 10th Planet Corona, House of Ryu, Kings MMA, Syndicate MMA, TapouT, UFC Gym, Wand Fight Team and Xtreme Couture -- will compete at Tuff-N-Uff's May 26 "Festibrawl."
Tickets for the event, which start at just $25, are available by calling the South Point Arena Box Office at (702) 797-8055 or online at SouthPointArena.com.
The full fight card is available for viewing at TuffNUff.com.
