Background
Tuff-N-Uff is back in San Diego! Join us at The Observatory North Park on Thursday, July 17, for Tuff-N-Uff 146: Shabazyan vs. Phillips—a night packed with elite international talent and non-stop MMA action.
Main Event:
Tuff-N-Uff and Contender Series veteran Leon Shabazyan (9-4 ) returns to the cage with momentum on his side, aiming for another statement finish—this time against Ultimate Fighter alum Aaron Phillips (8-7). Fresh off a first-round stoppage as a Tuff-N-Uff main event against Aireon Tavarres, Leon looks to continue his climb toward the UFC but faces a challenging test against the “Alaskan Bull Worm”.
Featured Bout:
Chechnya’s Khuseyn “Shy” Shaykhaev (12-1) makes his Tuff-N-Uff debut in a 140-pound catchweight clash against ONE Championship veteran Ilimbek Akylbekuulu (9-3) of Kyrgyzstan.
