Main Event: Lightweight Showdown

Coming in on a three-fight win streak, Tsogookhuu “The Mongol” Amarsanaa (10-3) returns to Tuff-N-Uff to face Cesar Abad (8-1), a young, hungry striker with seven finishes in eight wins. Amarsanaa looks to bring the momentum from his Tuff-N-Uff 137 first-round TKO win versus Justin Jaynes (17-11) as Abad makes his Tuff-N-Uff debut after a UWC 55 first-round TKO win versus Jesús Martinez (5-8).

Co-Main Event

Viral influencer Joel “King Bau” Bauman (7-2) squares off against UFC, Strikeforce, and World Series of Fighting veteran Jesse “JT Money” Taylor (33-17) in our middleweight co-main event. Bauman comes into Tuff-N-Uff 144 on a 2023 MMA Bare Knuckle split decision loss, while MMA legend Taylor aims to move past his championship-defending loss from 2023’s BFL 76: Canada vs. USA.
