The Co-Main Delivers Power Punching at 135

Nadia Chmil and Julia Moore square off in a women's bantamweight co-main event that promises fireworks. Both fighters have shown they're not afraid to trade leather, and at 135 pounds, every exchange carries serious consequences. This is the kind of matchup that rewards fans who show up early and stay locked in.

14 Fights Means Non-Stop Action

From the first amateur bout to the main event, RUF 66 stacks 14 fights across three cards. That's seven professional bouts featuring Arizona's top talent, plus seven amateur contests showcasing the next generation of fighters hungry to make their mark. No filler. No fluff. Just fight after fight from 7 PM until the final bell.

"Every seat in Celebrity Theatre puts you closer to the cage than almost any other MMA venue in the country."

Celebrity Theatre's In-the-Round Magic

There's a reason RUF calls Celebrity Theatre home. The venue's iconic 360-degree seating means there's no bad seat in the house—every angle gives you an intimate view of the action. Add state-of-the-art sound and lighting that amplify every strike, and you've got an atmosphere that transforms a night of fights into an unforgettable experience. The theatre has hosted legends since 1964; now it hosts warriors.

Watch Rising Stars Before They Blow Up

RUF has a track record of showcasing talent before they hit the big stage. The amateur and preliminary cards are where careers launch—fighters putting everything on the line for their shot. Watching them now means you'll be able to say "I saw them when..." as they climb the ranks. Names like Dominic Rivera, Isaac Zatarain, and Zach Carter could be tomorrow's headlines.

Deep Pro Card Across Multiple Divisions

Beyond the headline bouts, the professional card features action at 125, 135, 145, 175, and 185 pounds. Alim Muhammad takes on A. Quero at featherweight. Marcus Nash battles Duane Johnson in a middleweight clash. Jared Braun and Jimi Natividad throw down at flyweight. Every weight class brings its own style—speed at the lighter weights, power as you move up the scale.
