(Press
Release)
Las Vegas, Nevada (July 24, 2009) -Up-and-coming MMA
Star, Ryan Couture, son of "The Natural" Randy Couture, will be
featured when Tuff-N-Uff, the Nation's Premiere Amateur Mixed
Martial Arts Organization, returns to the ring with "The Future
Stars of MMA". The event is set to go down at The Orleans Hotel &
Casino in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, August 22 at 7 PM.
Like Father, like Son - Ryan Couture looks to be a
natural himself at the sport his hall-of-fame father has dominated
for more than a decade. Couture was triumphant in his last fight for
Tuff-N-Uff, defeating Art Martinez by rear naked choke in the second
round.
Couture will face a scrappy opponent in this fight
when he takes on Jimmy Spicuzza. Spicuzza (3-1) has finished all
three of his wins by way of KO or submission. Spicuzza has been
calling for this high-profile fight and both will look to end this
scrap early when they rumble in the ring.
Spicing up the fight card will be the return of PLAYBOY'S former
Playmate of the Year 2004, LaTasha Marzolla. LaTasha boasts much
more then beauty though. What started out as Muay Thai lessons to
stay fit led to this vicious vixen racking up a Muay-Thai record of
9-3.
Marzolla made her MMA debut in May of this year, defeating Christy
Tada by corner stoppage at the end of round 1 under the Tuff-N-Uff
banner. She was supposed to be fighting on the promotions July fight
card, but her broken nose sustained in her last fight did not heal
in time.
In a 135lb title defense, a rubber match meets the
road as Jimmy Jones (Xtreme Couture) defends his bantamweight belt
against the all-too-familiar Chris Brady (Legends). Brady will look
to settle the score, and get his belt back, which he lost to Jones
via triangle choke in their second battle. The fireworks between
these two will surely ignite the crowd.
All told, Tuff-N-Uff is featuring over twenty action-packed fights,
including 2 female bouts. Many of the top gyms across the country
will have their protégés compete including: Xtreme Couture, Striking
Unlimited, Warrior Training, Cobra Kai, and more.
