🔥 FIGHTER STORYLINES 🔥
EZRA ELLIOTT
145 lbs Professional Champion
Dominant year capped by championship gold. D'Arce choke finish at RUF 63 earned him a title shot, then submitted De'Aundre Tipton with a first-round RNC at RUF 65 to claim the belt.
TYRELL FORTUNE
Heavyweight Champion
45 seconds. That's all it took for the AZ Combat Sports heavyweight to demolish Tony Lopez and capture RUF gold at RUF 64. A statement victory that put the division on notice.
ALEX PREISSING
Amateur → Pro Breakout Star
Won the Amateur Flyweight Title at RUF 61, went 2-0 in amateur ranks, then made his pro debut at RUF 65 with a D'Arce choke finish. The MMA Lab product is one to watch in 2026.
JACOB REED
Submission Specialist
Three appearances, three submission finishes. His 39-second D'Arce choke at RUF 62 was one of the year's fastest. Fell short in the 135 Amateur Title fight at RUF 65, but proved he belongs.
