Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- TUFF-N-UFF Productions, Inc. (www.tuffnuff.net), an innovator of Mixed Martial Arts, today announced the first amateur MMA event to take place on April 12th at the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas (www.tropicanalv.com).

"The NSAC recently approved our request to promote an amateur MMA event on April 12th at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas," said Barry Meyer, president of TUFF-N-UFF. "This has been in the works for a long time and we're excited to promote the first sanctioned amateur MMA event in Nevada. We'll now be able to offer amateur MMA fighters an opportunity to compete in a safe environment, at a world class venue, in the fight capital of the world!"

Our goal is to be the equivalent of the golden gloves of MMA by working with quality promoters in other regions, to help the sport grow. The winners will be invited to compete at the next show tentatively scheduled May 23rd to crown champions and help us find fighters to debut on our professional shows. We look forward to giving athletes an avenue to demonstrate their skills and have the opportunity to move on to follow their dreams.

TUFF-N-UFF Productions was founded in 1994 for the purpose of promoting martial arts shows. Over the years TUFF-N-UFF has established itself as an innovator in the fight promotions industry. We received one of the first MMA licenses in Nevada. We've since promoted SHOOTO in 2003, the first MMA tournament in Nevada, co-promoted Chuck Norris' World Combat League, Bodog FIGHT, ADCC North American qualifiers, and now the first to promote amateur MMA in Nevada.
