This Friday, March 14, Tuff-N-Uff 142’s main event welcomes Canada’s Jamie “The Gremlin” Siraj (12-2-0) and Brazil’s Diego “DB” Brandão (29-22-0) to Las Vegas’s The Theater at Virgin Hotels. Siraj will defend his TUFF Featherweight Championship title against Brandão, who is coming off two straight 2024 losses versus Muratbek Kasymbay and Chad Mendes (grappling). Despite these losses, Brandão has proven himself a powerful fighter with his UFC history and MMA knowledge. Siraj is on prospect watch, and a win may propel his chances for a call to the UFC.
Before Siraj and Brandão’s bout, fans can catch a main card of Canaan Kawaihae (9-2-0) versus Marlon “Fortaleza” Gonzales (15-6-2), Eduardo “Duda” Penha (5-0-0) versus Joshua “Wide Open” Weems (12-3-0), Tyshawn Williams (6-0-0) versus Alfred “Freight Train” Walker (14-7-0), Ty-wan “Air” Claxton (7-3-0) versus Tynchtykbek “Kabylan” Kanybek Uulu (9-1-0), Karlen Minasyan (7-4-0) versus Miguel Angel Sosa (8-2-0), Enzo “New Religion” Perez (4-3-0) versus Isaiah “Mclovin” Metituk (4-3-0), and Miguel “Suavecito” Suazo (0-0-1) versus Aaron Casey (2-4-0). Weems joins Brandão as Tuff-N-Uff 142’s second UFC veteran of the night, with young promising Tuff-N-Uff prospects, such as Kawaihae and Penha, sharing the spotlight.
