The “Road To One” Heavyweight Tournament co-created by UFC Hall Of Famer and now One Championship’s VP, Rich Franklin is hosted by RUF 41, will not only feature Global level fights but also National and local caliber bouts on June 20th. “We have something for everyone”, RUF NATION CEO Dr. Joel Lopez said.

The main and co main events will feature 2 Pro Heavyweights bouts vying for a chance at a 100K contract to fight for One Championship in Singapore. Cody East (11-6) vs Michael Quintero (6-2), both towering in at 6’-3”, 230 lbs. each are ready to share the cage on June 20th. In the co main fight Ed Perez fighting out California (3-1) will be taking on Darian Abby from the Midwest (2-2) on the bottom half of the bracket.

Local bouts featuring fan favorite Roman “El Gallito” Salazar from Fight Ready from Scottsdale, AZ will take on Baker’s MMA own “Cody Huard” from Surprise. Salazar had 3 previous fights either cancelled, postponed or no showed. “We hope this 4th time is a charm and we get to finally see him fight” said Dr. Joel Lopez. Cody Huard’s notable win was over UFC veteran Frankie Saenz, who happens to be one of Salazar’s MMA coaches. This will be an interesting fight with lots of emotional static from both sides of the cage.

Another thrilling Pro matchup between RUF MMA veteran Austin Wourms from Baker’s MMA in Surprise will take on MMA Lab’s own Ivey Nixon. Nixon is coming off an impressive win over Hawaii’s Kekoa Corpuz. Wourms is coming off a loss at RUF 40 but has bounced back and is ready to get his arm raised with much more focus and experience. This will be a barn burner!
