RUF 71 Tickets Are On Sale Now: Dia de Los Muertos Comes to Celebrity Theatre
Arizona's premier MMA promotion closes out 2026 with a Day of the Dead fight night in the round. Seats are live on Etix now.
PHOENIX, AZ, September 21, 2026. Tickets for RUF 71: Dia de Los Muertos are on sale now. RUF Nation MMA returns to the Celebrity Theatre on Saturday, November 7, 2026 for the promotion's Day of the Dead fight night, and seats are available through Etix starting today.
RUF has run more than 70 events out of Phoenix. Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, and CB Dolloway all fought under the RUF banner before the world knew their names, and the promotion has spent 20 years turning Arizona amateurs into professionals and professionals into UFC fighters. RUF 71 is the next stop on that road.
RUF 71 Ticket Prices
Tickets are available in three tiers:
- General Admission from $45
- VIP from $85
- Ringside from $125
Prices are subject to availability. Ringside and VIP go first, and the Celebrity Theatre is a small room, so waiting is a risk.

Why the Celebrity Theatre Hits Different
The Celebrity Theatre is a theater in the round. The cage sits dead center and the seats rotate around it, so every seat faces the action and nobody is watching the back of a head. There is no bad seat in the building. That is why RUF calls it home, and it is why a RUF card feels closer than arena MMA ever does.
Dia de Los Muertos
RUF 71 lands the weekend after Day of the Dead, and the show leans into it. Expect the skulls, the marigolds, and the papel picado, plus the production RUF brings to every Phoenix card. It is a night built for the walkouts as much as the fights.
The Fight Card
The provisional fight card is out: six professional bouts and eight amateur bouts, headlined by Amari Sengsavanh vs. Victor Salazar Cisneros at a 140-pound catchweight, with Eric Fimbres vs. Trevor Ollison in the pro middleweight co-main and an amateur flyweight title fight on the prelims. More matchups will be added as they are confirmed with the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission. Card is subject to change.
Get Your Seat
RUF 71: Dia de Los Muertos is Saturday, November 7, 2026 at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix. Tickets are live now on Etix. Be in the building when the cage door closes.
