Mixed martial arts take the stage at the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle on April 29. A one-of-a-kind event, live cage fighting, comes to the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle on Saturday, April 29.

Come check out this exciting event for all ages, to be held outside in the amphitheater. Seating will be available starting at 5:30 p.m., when the preliminary events begin, and the main card starts at 7 p.m.

The event is presented by RUF Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Ringside Promotions, LLC. RUF MMA is a preferred Native Casino MMA event fighting brand. Cage fighting, or mixed martial arts (MMA), is a full-contact sport in which two contestants compete using various fighting techniques. The players meet in an octagonal ring, which looks just like a cage. To win, one player needs to physically overpower the other – which is easier said than done. The matches pit 24 contestants in different weight classes for a total of 12 fights. The big draw is the heavyweight match at the end, with local favorite fighter Dale Sopi from Maricopa.

General admission tickets are $25 and can be purchased online. Bring your low-back chairs or blankets. Cage-side seating is $40 and may be purchased by contacting the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle box office at 520-568-3456. VIP tables are available for $200 or $400 for four to six people, complete with your own server.
