Event Description
Tuff-N-Uff returns to the Orleans Hotel & Casino on July 2 with two eight-woman tournaments; Larry Mir,cousin of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir, also headlines. The co-feature sees a rematch of an exciting but controversial contest from May 30, as Zach Grossman (1-1) meets Barry Prevost (2-2) for a second time.
Among the early favorites in the 125-pound bracket are Virginia's Nicole Hess (2-1), North Carolina's Jenn Yum (5-1) and fighting twin Jillian Lybarger (2-1). Hess, who meets Jenn Yum (5-1), is no stranger to title fights. All three of the MiKiDo MMA product's fights have been contested with a title on the line, and Hess has delivered with first-round submissions in two of the three outings. Hess now looks to rebound from the first loss of her career after dropping a split-decision result to Audrey Pang this past November.
The winners of the first-round contests in both tournaments will return for the semifinal round on Aug. 6, while two new champions will be crowned in the Sept. 24 final round.
