“After an incredible event this summer to celebrate 30 years of promoting combat sports, we’re excited to be back inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas for another stellar card,” Tuff-N-Uff CEO Jeff Meyer said. “We’ve got a lineup that’s heavy on international talent, showing that we really are looking for not just the best talent in the Fight Capital of the World, but for the future stars of MMA coming from all over the globe.
“As always, we’ll also have a full lineup of preliminary matchups airing live on the beIN SPORTS Network. It’s going to be another fantastic night of excitement and entertainment, so get your tickets quickly before they sell out.”
Camilo makes his Tuff-N-Uff debut on the strength of a four-fight win streak, with all four victories earned by way of stoppage. In fact, after taking home a split-decision result in his professional debut, Camilo has earned each of his past six victories by knockout or submission, including three in the opening round.
Meanwhile, Sojo is looking to rebound from an August setback, coming up short against two-time UFC veteran Dakota Bush in a failed bid for the Nemesis Fighting Alliance title. He’ll get back to work just two months later, featuring in a headlining role. In addition to his MMA work, Sojo has also stayed busy competing for Karate Combat and Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA, proving his willingness to take on all challenges.
Dave Farra and Jason Mahoney from the nationally distributed “Dave and Mahoney Morning Show” call the action alongside veteran MMA journalist and broadcaster John Morgan at Tuff-N-Uff 139 on UFC FIGHT PASS.
