Background
Tuff-N-Uff celebrates 30-year anniversary with Tuff-N-UFF 138 on Friday, July 26
Promotion returns to The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas for special celebration!
Tuff-N-Uff officials are incredibly proud to announce the organization will celebrate 30 years of promoting combat sports with “Tuff-N-Uff 138: Muduev vs. Claxton” on Friday, July 26 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
The legendary Barry Meyer’s World Famous Tuff-N-Uff held its very first event in the summer of 1994 inside a high school gymnasium. Now, 30 years later, the promotion is a perennial fixture on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip in the “Fight Capital of the World” and will host a scintillating main event, with Tuff-N-Uff and Eagle FC veteran Sitik Mudeuv (11-4) and big-show veteran Tywan “Air” Claxton (6-3) facing off in the headlining bout of Tuff-N-Uff 138.
Additional featured matchups confirmed for the card include a clash between top welterweight prospects Anthony “Ace” Martinez (3-1) and “The Relentless” Alonzo Turner (4-0), as well as an intriguing flyweight matchup featuring two-time UFC veteran Juancamilo “100” Ronderos (4-2) and the undefeated Shad Walters (3-0), as well as a middleweight contest between a returning Eric McConico (8-2-1) and Dana White’s Contender Series veteran Dylan “Big Poppa” Potter (10-7).
“It is truly humbling to be able to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of this promotion and my brother’s vision,” Tuff-N-Uff CEO Jeff Meyer said. “I don’t believe either of us truly imagined how far this journey would take us, and I’m humbled to be announcing this incredible milestone, and another fantastic night of the Future Stars of Mixed Martial Arts.
Mudeuv returns to the Tuff-N-Uff cage for the first time since 2022, when he suffered a split-decision loss to Muhammad Naimov, who would earn a UFC contract in his following appearance and is currently 3-1 in the octagon. In the interim, Muduev picked up a knockout win under the United Fight League banner and now seeks his first Tuff-N-Uff victory.
Meanwhile, Claxton is a two-time NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships qualifier who has fought the entirety of his professional MMA career under the Bellator banner. A viral sensation from his professional debut, where he scored a knockout via flying knee, Claxton now looks to earn his way to a UFC invite in his Tuff-N-Uff debut.
With more than 25 years as a combat sports organization, the Las Vegas-based Tuff-N-Uff has presented the best amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) action in the nation since 2003, giving rise to some of the biggest names in the sport, including former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, as well as UFC, Strikeforce and Bellator veteran Ryan Couture. Tuff-N-Uff has helped grow the careers of many other MMA athletes including Jessamyn Duke, Ashlee Evans-Smith, Tonya Evinger, Jon Fitch, Jesse Forbes, Chris Holdsworth, Brad Imes, Jimmy Jones, Alan Jouban and Jesse Taylor.
In 2013, Tuff-N-Uff became the first combat sports organization to be included on the UFC International Fight Week schedule of events. Tuff-N-Uff celebrated its historic 20th anniversary in 2014 with over 15,000 fans in a sold-out live event inside the Thomas & Mack Center. The same year, Tuff-N-Uff partnered with the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) to present, as part of UFC International Fight Week 2014, the first-ever amateur MMA World Championships. Also in 2014, Tuff-N-Uff’s CEO, Jeff Meyer, was inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame and honored with the Crystal Award for his contributions to martial arts. Dedicated to its founder, the late Barry Meyer, Tuff-N-Uff is committed to the sport of mixed martial arts and building the “Future Stars of MMA”.
