RUF Nation, a regional mixed martial arts promotion from Phoenix, Arizona, will end their year on Saturday, December 18, with RUF 45: Winter Wars.
Road To ONE Continues At RUF 45
Leading the charge is a pair of quarterfinal bouts in the Road To ONE heavyweight tournament. The winner of Road to One will take home a six-figure contract with ONE Championship and be the next American representative on the roster.
But there will be plenty more to check out on the card while supporting the next generation of mixed martial artists.
Here are three reasons to check out RUF 45: Winter Wars and the Road To ONE heavyweight tournament.
Road to ONE
The biggest and best reason to catch the action at RUF 45: Winter Wars is the Road To ONE heavyweight tournament.
Headlining the action will be two quarterfinal contests in a tournament that has supplied nonstop action to date. Thus far, only one bout has gone to a decision, and that virtually ensures that fans will see a finish at Winter Wars.
The evening’s main event will be Cameron Chism-Brungard vs. Eduardo Perez, with the co-main event featuring a quarterfinal between Terrance Jean-Jacques and Michael Quintero.
As the Road to ONE continues, the search for the next great American heavyweight talent rolls onward. The four athletes competing at Winter Wars will be seeking to take one more step closer to a life-altering contract with Asia’s largest sports media promotion.
